The details
Nestled on the edge of a peaceful lake in the Sussex countryside, The Boat House offers a blissfully secluded escape where slow mornings, waterside sunsets and uninterrupted rural views come as standard. Hidden away on a working farm and surrounded by rolling farmland, this charming self-contained lodge invites you to switch off from busy modern life and settle into a calmer pace beside the water.
Step inside and you’ll find a bright open plan living space designed to make the most of the stunning lakeside setting. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood the cabin with natural light and slide open onto the spacious decking area, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Whether you’re curled up on the sofa with a coffee as mist rises from the lake or enjoying a relaxed evening meal with the doors open to the sounds of nature, the setting feels wonderfully peaceful.
The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped for laidback self-catering stays, complete with a four-ring hob and oven, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and all the essentials you’ll need during your getaway. A dining table for four offers a cosy spot for breakfasts before a day exploring Sussex or leisurely dinners overlooking the water. Downstairs also hosts a modern shower room and a small sofa bed suitable for one additional guest.
Upstairs, the open plan bedroom feels airy and inviting with lovely elevated views across the surrounding countryside. Here you’ll find one king size bed and one single bed, both made up ready for your arrival, along with plenty of storage space for longer stays. The calm, simple interiors allow the natural beauty outside to take centre stage.
Outside is where The Boat House truly shines. The generous decking and sun-soaked pontoon are made for long afternoons spent lounging beside the lake with a glass of wine or firing up the BBQ on warm summer evenings. Keen anglers can enjoy responsible fishing on the well-stocked carp lake, while everyone else can simply sit back and enjoy the stillness of the water and wide open skies.
When you do decide to venture out, Sussex offers plenty to discover. Explore picturesque villages, scenic countryside walks and cosy country pubs, or head towards the South Downs National Park for hiking and cycling. The Sussex coastline is also within easy reach, offering charming seaside towns and beautiful beaches for memorable day trips.
