Hidden away on the owner’s farm in the village of Walberton, this snug glamping pod is a countryside hideaway made for humans and their four-legged companions. With footpaths leading straight into the rolling landscapes of the South Downs National Park, it’s easy to start each morning with a tail-wagging ramble through fields and woodland.
Step inside the beautifully crafted wooden pod and you’ll find a thoughtfully designed open-plan living area that feels both stylish and welcoming. Plush seating and a Smart TV create a cosy corner for evenings in, while the biofuel fireplace is sure to be a hit with the hound. The contemporary kitchen, centred around an island with bar stools, makes mealtimes easy. Open the French doors and let your pup pad in and out while you take in uninterrupted views across peaceful farmland. The king-size bedroom brings a boutique touch, complete with a freestanding bath positioned for a long soak after rural adventures. A cheerful twin room suits children or friends, and both bedrooms have Smart TVs for slow starts to the day. A sleek shower room completes the interior. Outside, the fully enclosed garden provides a secure spot for your pup to potter safely while you sink into the outdoor sofa or fire up the BBQ. The sunken hot tub looks out across open greenery – a soothing place to unwind while your faithful friend snoozes nearby after a day of sniffing new trails. Private parking for two cars makes arriving with leads, baskets and muddy boots refreshingly straightforward.
Arundel (4 miles) makes a grand day out, with riverside strolls, a castle and characterful streets dotted with independent shops and pet-friendly cafes. If sandy paws are on the agenda, the beaches of the South Coast are within 5 miles. Chichester (7.5 miles) tempts with boutiques, galleries and its striking cathedral, and Petworth House invites you to explore 700 acres of sweeping estate lands – wonderful for a lead walk in the gardens, or off the lead in the parkland.
