Set in 12 acres of stunning Sussex country estate is Fair Oak Farm, a multi-award winning retreat venue available to hire for health and wellness retreats, group holidays, business group stays, private events, and even the occasional intimate wedding. When it comes to overnight accommodation, guests are spoilt for choice here: do you book yourself into the stunning Grade II listed Sussex farmhouse, the charming Grade II listed converted barns, the fairy-tale eco-lodge tree houses, or the idyllic shepherd’s huts? Talk about a tough call.

The vibe at Fair Oak is beautiful, pastoral escape without the downsides. Rural peace in a protected area of outstanding natural beauty, yet boasting top notch facilities: dining splendour in the lounge barn, a luxe cinema barn (oh, hello), a games barn, and the essential-for-parental-relaxation, children’s play area. Each eco-lodge, nestled amongst ancient trees, offers a plush Queen-size double bed, comfy living area, studio space, equipped kitchen, and full central heating. (Hippy dippy off-grid damp-cloth showers, this is not).

To make the most of all these restorative surroundings, the farm offers under-the-radar Wellness Retreats where guests can unwind, meet like-minded people, reset and refresh mind and body alike. Retreat guests can make use of the on-site treatment studio, huge yoga barn and infra-red sauna, all supported by trusted local suppliers. To find out more you can register here.

You can also host your own private retreat or corporate event with them. Or, if you’ve got your big day coming up, the farm offers a picture-perfect wedding location, with room for up to 32 guests to stay overnight. Result!
