The space

It’s true: to appreciate Hawthbush Farm, you really don’t need very much. It’s the place and all those who share it with us that make it what it is. The Cowshed has 4 bedrooms (for groups up to 8) then the Granary has 2 bedrooms (2 rooms for an extra 4 guests)

Hawthbush Farm Cottages - with Cedar Hot Tub

In 2009, our family moved to Hawthbush Farm in rural East Sussex. The farm’s oral history has been passed down from family to family with the only stipulation being a love of the land and a sense of responsibility for the continued guardianship of it in its natural state. Our goal on arrival was to tread lightly on the land. We’d lived on a farm before, but this was different, much more immersive: we slotted into the farm’s harmonious ecosystem, not the other way around.
