Canfields FarmNeed help? Call 01420 80804

Active families should head down to stay at our organic farm, which nestles between the North and South Downs, as on- or off-road enthusiasts can stow their bikes on the car to get keen cyclist Sarah’s tips on tackling the 55-mile Downs Link and the Olympic cycle road race route in the Surrey Hills.

The rustic playground and play pitch laid out in front of the tents make games of football, rounders, badminton and volleyball a cinch.  They are the work of Tim, who has made the scrum-half position in Cranleigh’s first team for a record-breaking 23 years. He’ll show you our fantastic bluebell woods for den-building, stream-damming and deer- butterfly- and woodpecker-spotting. The tents are sited right on the edge of this charming spot, so the children can roam in and out at will, whilst you sneak a quick recline in our king-sized deck-chairs.

Canfields is also an ideal base for group outings to enjoy racing at Glorious Goodwood, Fontwell and Ascot; the opera at Glyndebourne; polo at nearby Hurstwood and Cowdray; and the wonderful summer music concerts at Petworth – and not forgetting the five golf courses within five miles of the farm.

Excellent walking and cycling is on your doorstep on the South Downs Way, and scenic towpath stroll and canal boat trips can be taken locally. Brighton and London are just 25 and 40 miles respectively, while the cathedral towns of Guildford, Chichester and the old market town of Horsham are also within easy driving distance. Our village Rudgwick boasts four local pubs headed up by the Fox just ten minutes walk away with its play-area and food served all day. Gatwick is just 23 miles away so we are also the best placed Feather Down for overseas visitors looking to experience the Great British countryside.

Catching your breath at the end of the day, you can slow cook and barbecue our wonderful organic beef and veal at the fire-pit in front of your tent, whilst you look over the commanding views of the South Downs and the sea beyond.
