As the farm that introduced the UK to the Feather Down experience, Manor has hosted many a feature and fashion shoot. However, our farm still remains an oasis just an hour from London.

The layout of the farm means it’s as suited to groups as to families or couples coming on their own and in 2011 our two Feather Down with Frills tents were a sell-out success for the extra treat of the hot tub and outdoor shower set up outside them.

Our guests also rave about the farm buggy, aboard which we conduct the Farm Tour and check the animals every day – several times during lambing season in April, which is a real highlight of the year.  

Wandering off site, there are great local pubs within walking distance, including the Three Horseshoes in East Worldham, for those who love a dip, there’s wild swimming at Frensham Ponds, or a more traditional paddle at West Wittering and Hayling Island on the coast.

We also leave you a folder of tried and tested walks from between one and six miles in length. One of our favourites is the six-mile round trip to the lovely village of Selborne, which has two pubs as well as specialist shops, a museum, pottery, gallery and a challenging-but-rewarding zigzag walk up the hanger. Thomas the Tank Engine often visits the Watercress Line, which is on our doorstep, and lots of guests visit Jane Austen’s charming house in neighbouring Chawton. The New Forest is also easily accessible from us, and is perfect both for picnicking and for exploring Peppa Pig World.  

Back at the farm, our guests love having barbecues under the stars, for which we provide the meat – our own marinated butterflied leg of lamb being a favourite. We also offer a daily delivery of fresh bread, croissants and your favourite paper deposited in your personal Feather Down locker in the Farm Larder.

All this is perhaps why we have so many repeat bookers.
