The Folly

This wonderful building, started in the 60’s by Edward Barnsley, and was finished more recently and still remains in the family. It stands in the grounds of The Bee House, where poet Edward Thomas wrote many of his poems. The garden falls straight into the South Downs Hangars, with direct access to fantastic woodland walks with spectacular views, whilst minimal light pollution makes the night skies perfect for star-gazing. You can now hire a hot tub, please let me know before your stay. The space The Folly comprises of an open plan living and kitchen area. In the living room there is a sofa bed that can be used as a double if needed. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bedroom has a double bed. The bathroom has a shower, sink and toilet. You can now hire a hot tub (£25 per night from April 1st - 31st October and £30 per night from 1st November- 31st March) for your own private use.

There is also ample parking directly to your right as you come through the gates. Access is across grass and down steps. Please be aware that you have to walk across slopping lawns to get to the Folly. I suggest that wet-weather footwear be worn during the winter months. We are in a Dark Skies area, so there are no street lights. So I recommend that guests try to arrive before dark.
