This self-contained apartment has its own private entrance and is situated in the heart of the South Downs National Park. At the end of a one mile drive, on a private equine estate near Graffham, this is perfect for couples wanting a tranquil and/or romantic get away.
A luxurious and peaceful suite of three rooms, The Hideaway is to the rear of our house and is surrounded by woodland and grass paddocks. The interior has an African theme and is complimented by a super king Simon Horn bed with Egyptian cotton linen to match! There is then an open plan sitting room with kitchenette and a modern bath & shower room, equipped with fresh Egyptian cotton bath and hand towels. The kitchenette comprises a fridge freezer, toaster, kettle, mini oven with hobs, all the equipment you need to cater for your stay if you don’t want to visit one of the many local pubs or restaurants. There is parking for your car(s) directly outside the property.
We are within easy reach of the South Downs, ideal for keen walkers or cyclists and are on the outskirts of the village of Graffham. There is a well-stocked shop nearby and two pubs in the village, both within walking distance. The historic market towns of Petworth and Midhurst are a short drive and the Cathedral city of Chichester is 25 minutues by car as is the south coast, with beaches at Climping, Brackelsham Bay and West Wittering. Bosham is about 30 minute's drive and the Isle of Wight Ferry at Portsmouth is 40 minutes from here.
The apartment is the perfect location from which to explore the area: Petworth House & Park, Arundel Castle, the private gardens at West Dean and Parham or for those attending the Polo at Cowdray, Festival of Speed and Revival as well as horseracing at Goodwood or other events in the area.
Carbon Compensation is not the perfect solution, and it is important to first reduce our carbon emissions as much as we can, yet trees remain an excellent natural technology to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to slow global warming.
For every client and guide who attends a YellowWood Adventure, we donate £30 to our partner charity WeForest to plant 15 trees to (over) compensate for the carbon footprint of the tour.
We also invite our clients to match this with an optional additional £30 for another 15 trees to be planted to help compensate for the carbon footprint of their international flights.
WeForest run many tree planting and tree maintenance projects such as this seedling nursery in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, the Amazon Rainforest in Brazil and many other projects in other countries including Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania & India.

What a peaceful little place in an expansive and beautiful farm. The hideaway is even better than in the pictures. Plenty of space and immaculately clean. We went horseriding on the estate and absolutely loved it. Very comfortable bedding also. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Oliver and family were fantastic hosts. Not only did we receive clear instructions to get to the property but also lots of local tourist information which allowed us to plan prior to our visit.
The property was fantastic and even better then the pictures and the surrounding areas where spectacular
We had a fantastic, cosy weekend away and will definitely be back again.

Comfortable and warm apartment, very quiet location - had the best night’s sleep we’d had in months! Spotless bed linen and fluffy towels. The kitchen was stocked with tea, coffee and cooking oil, all pans and utensils necessary for reasonable self-catering. Highly recommended

To help you choose the right adventure for you, we have given each itinerary a grading that relates to the level of Walking / Trekking you will experience during the trip. This grading can be found on the Yellow map on the adventure page of the website.
All of our trips involve a level of general activity so are designed for people who are in good health, enjoy the outdoors, and have a taste for adventure and some level of fitness. As will be clear from our destinations, the climate (and altitude) may be different to that which you are used to, so please take this into consideration when choosing the most suitable holiday.
Please read our Adventure Itinerary & Essential Information for more information and don't hesitate to contact us if you would like to chat through whether you have found a suitable adventure for you.
You need to be in good physical health to enjoy your active holiday, but you don’t need to be an experienced hiker. These itineraries offer a mix of sightseeing and easier walking for around 2-4hrs a day, with the emphasis on sights and cultural experiences.
Walks will be well marked or on defined pathways, and often around sites of interest. The expected amount of descent/ascent will depend on the landscapes of the destination, but will not exceed 400m/day, and will often be much less. Walks are at low altitude (below 3000m).
You will not be required to carry more than a day sack with water and essentials. Ensure you are aware of the weather conditions likely in the destination you are visiting and have a pair of comfortable and worn in walking shoes/boots.
You need to have a good level of fitness and be a regular walker for these adventures, with ideally some trekking experience. You can expect to be walking for 3-6 hours per day, not including rest stops, normally on good trail paths but with some uneven surfaces at times.
You will not be required to carry more than a day sack. You may be walking in more challenging temperatures. You will generally be walking at low altitude (below 3000m) but may walk at altitudes up to 4000m. The amount of ascent could be up to 800m in a day but will frequently be less. You may walk on consecutive days.
Ensure you are aware of the weather conditions likely in the destination you are visiting and have suitable clothing for this adventure.
You need to have a good level of fitness with previous experience of trekking. Extra training before your trip will ensure that you get the most out of your adventure. Areas will be remote and terrain uneven.
Expect to walk for 5 – 8 hours a day, not including breaks, with some very steep ascents and descents. You will be walking at altitude (over 3000m but not higher than 5000m).
Ensure you are aware of the weather conditions likely in the destination you are visiting and have suitable equipment/clothing for this adventure (see the packing list for your adventure).
Please check individual itineraries for details of what you will need to be carrying with you.
