Rooms

There are eight tents and log cabins at Manor Farm, all with their own private shower rooms. A welcome package with bed linen, towels, candles, matches, washing up liquid and other basics is provided for all guests, so you don't have to fill the car with camping gear. The log cabins sleep up to two guests. They're a good option for extended family members and grandparents who want to join in the family holiday fun, but might also appreciate space of their own and a little peace and quiet. The tents sleep up to six guests, in three separate sleeping areas including a double bedroom, a bunk room and a double cabin bed.

Whichever option you go for, your capacious home will look out across the old farm orchard and the fields of wheat, barley, rapeseed and lavender grown in this bucolic corner of Hampshire. This is camping, with all the luxury finishes you didn't know you needed.

Eat

Both the log cabins and luxury tents come complete with a fully equipped kitchen. Above the wood burner is a stove top where you can cook delicious meals and keep the kettle rolling over. A sink provides running water, and there's ample workspace if little ones want to get involved. There's an inside dining table and chairs, plus outside eating spots for al fresco dining too.

When night falls Manor Farm light your own fire pit and cook up some hearty stews, toasted marshmallows and mega barbies before retiring for dream-filled sleep in your comfy bed. Pizza Nights are another popular option. Farmer Gavin can fire up the pizza oven; then gather round, share stories of your day's adventures and invent one-of-a-kind pizzas with all the toppings you could dream of.

Activities

If you are on the farm during the day, you can wake up without a plan and let your imagination run riot. Simply sit and enjoy one another's company and the scenery, hunt for wood in the hedgerow to build a campfire, make up a treasure hunt, embark on one of Anna’s walks, explore the local area and play board games. If you are lucky enough to have a hot tub, take the time to sit and soak.

If you can't bear to chill out a moment longer on the farm, there’s is plenty to do in the local area. The South Downs National Park has more than just natural beauty on offer. There's culture in the form of museums and heritage houses. Or if you want to get your heart pumping, try a very cold, but very refreshing wild swim at Frensham Ponds. Or head to the gorgeous West Wittering beach – just an hour from site.
