West Sussex Shepherd’s Hut – Countryside Escape Near Chichester, Goodwood & South Downs
Escape to the heart of the West Sussex countryside and sleep under the stars in this charming 1-bedroom shepherd’s hut, complete with free on-site parking. From your doorstep, enjoy uninterrupted views of the rolling South Downs hills and the peace and quiet of rural England.
Perfectly located, you’re just a 10-minute drive (or a scenic 30-minute cycle) from both the historic city of Chichester—with over 100 cafés, restaurants, and its world-famous Festival Theatre—and the iconic Goodwood Estate, home to the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival, and Glorious Goodwood horse racing.
Inside, you’ll find a cosy self-catering retreat with a well-equipped kitchenette, a comfortable shower room, and a beautifully styled living space. Step outside into the enchanting secret garden, where you can relax around the fire pit under a starlit sky or enjoy a BBQ while soaking in the countryside views.
This is more than a holiday—it’s the perfect romantic get away, walking and cycling base, or dog-friendly stay in West Sussex. Dogs are welcome upon request ( Charges may be applicable ).
You will have total privacy in your own enclosed garden, however we live next door so are on hand if you need any help with anything and always show every guest into our hut. We have been hosting for many years, firstly from our flat in Southsea and now in our lovely hut. We alway enjoy meeting with our guests and feel privileged that they have chosen to stay with us.
Enjoy a tranquil rural escape in the heart of West Sussex, just 3 miles from Chichester city centre and local supermarkets. Chichester offers over 100 cafés and restaurants, plus the renowned Festival Theatre, making it perfect for food lovers and culture seekers alike.
