During October Half Term we would highly recommend booking Rogate Pumpkin Patch where you can pick your own pumpkin and enjoy the Halloween activities. If you enjoy exploring on bikes then Queen Elizabeth Country Park is definitely worth a visit, a large country park situated on the South Downs in southern England. We have a huge amount of walking and cycling routes right on our doorstep which allow you to explore deep into the South Downs.
A little further afield are the fantastic beaches at West Wittering, Hayling Island and Southsea offering fantastic days out at the seaside.
Food & Drink
Whether you are looking for a gastro pub, fine dining or a delicious brunch there are plenty of places in the area to try.
The nearest pub to the cottages is The Rising Sun located in Milland renowned for its outstanding atmosphere, great food and perfect setting. The Duke of Cumberland Arms is a must when visiting the area, a quintessential English pub, perched on top of a hill with stunning views over the South Downs offering great locally sourced food and brilliant service. Our top tip is to book inside the old pub area. If you are looking for fine dining then pay a visit to MOMA, a Mediterranean and Japanese fusion restaurant with a modern, relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, located on the bustling high street in Haslemere. A little further afield is The Pig at Arundel, and we strongly advise booking in advance.
For a spot of brunch or a slice of cake we would recommend Cowdray Farm Shop and Café, Midhurst or the Hungry Guest café and delicatessen in Petworth, a lovely café hidden away in the gardens at Newlands House Gallery.
