Farm Stays
Tucked away in the heart of the countryside, our farm is a place where time slows down and the beauty of rural life unfolds around you.
Twelve Unique Properties
Scattered across the farm are twelve very different farm stays, each with its own character and charm—whether it’s a cosy hideaway for two, a rustic family cottage, or a quirky retreat unlike anywhere else.
Every space has been thoughtfully designed to bring comfort, warmth, and a sense of place, so that no two stays are ever the same. Here, you’ll discover the perfect blend of nature, tranquillity, and individuality—an experience that feels both personal and unforgettable.
From unique spaces which feel truly special and luxurious…

Dog friendly accommodation
We love dogs here at Westerlands which is why we provide dog bowls in all our holiday homes. Some properties also have private fenced in gardens and even warm water outside showers and dog towels!
We do ask guests to bring their own dog beds.
We support the SDNP Take the lead campaign which means keeping dogs on a lead outside the garden. This is for their own safety around farm machinery as well as the welfare of our animals - our chickens roam free - as well as the abundance of wildlife here on the South Downs.
Simplicity
Immersed in nature, it isn’t just kids who learn to appreciate the simpler things in life. For all of us, it’s an opportunity to disconnect from material possessions and discover the joy of spending time together.
All our properties have different unique qualities but one thing they all have in common is that they are surrounded by nature. Discover how much better (and simpler) life feels when you spend time outside on your own or with friends and family.
