If you’re looking for a romantic retreat amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the South Downs National Park, then The Observatory might just be for you. This elevated gem is conveniently located on site of a beautiful converted cattle barn offering holiday stays, and offers couples a quaint cabin with incredible, scenic views.
This charming cabin is a cosy haven for two with a studio living space that features a nicely equipped kitchenette as well as a super-comfy king size divan bed. In the morning wake up and take your first coffee in bed gazing out at the view across the South Downs and the River Arun Valley. Enjoy a morning soak in your modern shower room, before heading out to seize the day.
The cabin’s living space also features a seating area, where you can settle in with a good book or an evening tipple. And thanks to the underfloor heating, you'll be toasty and warm no matter the weather outside. However, if the sun is shining, you’ll want to venture out onto the private deck, which offers a lovely spot where you can dine alfresco whilst breathing in the fresh country air.
When the sun sets, this is a wonderful spot to sit out and gaze up at the stars, making the most of the fact you’re sitting in a designated Dark Sky Reserve.
Head out on a captivating adventure and explore the River Arun Valley and the South Downs National Park. The valley offers picturesque landscapes, where lush meadows and vibrant wildflowers meet the tranquil river, perfect for leisurely walks and cycling. Discover charming villages along the way, each brimming with history and local charm.
The South Downs National Park, with its rolling hills and dramatic cliffs, invites hikers to experience breathtaking panoramic views. Whether you’re wandering through ancient woodlands or enjoying a picnic on top of the Downs, this stunning area promises unforgettable moments in a truly serene natural setting.
