Great stay for friends of Walden and sustainable farming

Lovely house, great for a family with 1-2 children. Embedded in the South Downs National Park, very quiet and secluded. Nice short walks to pubs and shops in the village. There is a camping site near the house that offers breakfast and dinner (organic, locally grown) prepared on the grill in an outdoor kitchen for a very good price. Dinner is on the meadow, with great views in a great atmosphere.

Nice place on a working farm

House is comfortable and well equipped. Not brand new but well kept. There is no washer or dryer although it said there would be in the listing. Linens of excellent quality. Could do with more towels (as there’s no washing machine). Kitchen wel equipped.

Wonderful stay in Graffham

We had a great time staying in Graffham. Oliver and Antonia are lovely hosts who made our family feel so welcome. The accommodation is very comfortable in a beautiful, peaceful countryside setting. The highlight for our grandchildren were the pony rides we booked with Jo around the farm. We hope to visit again soon.

Exactly What We Hoped For

The property was exactly what we were hoping for - an idyllic escape that was central to all the places we wanted to visit in Sussex, Hampshire, and London. Oliver and Antonia were so helpful and communicative, and the property was beautiful and clean, and large enough for 6 of us. We wouldn't change a thing!

About the host

Hosted by Oliver Hancock

I am Oliver Hancock and the owner of The Annex. I have chosen a life outside and got myself out of an office which is much healthier! I manage the Westerlands Estate which is an operating farm. We have horses, sheep and cattle and so my days are always busy. We are happy to open our doors to travellers who can come and share the beautiful space which we are so lucky to have. There is a lot to do and see in the area and I recommend hiking, cycling and horse riding, which are things that I enjoy, too.

Why they chose this property

The property is close to pubs and on the foot of the Downs from where you can explore the miles of beautiful countryside. A day trip to London is entirely possible and the South Coast (sea) is only 25 minutes by car. Heathrow is one hour and Gatwick is 45 minutes by car. If you are in to your stars and galaxies have a look at the photos which were taken from the field outside The Annex.

What makes this property unique

The Annex is on a private 1000 acre estate with footpaths criss crossing and lots of animals to see. You can ride from here or you can even bring your own horse with you on holiday!
