Welcome to Highdown Hideaways

Relax and unwind in our Eco friendly Lodge.

(3 bedrooms, sleeps 6, with hot tub)

Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, West Sussex, is our luxury, eco-friendly, holiday lodge, sited on our agricultural family run nursery.

 

Situated on our rural family nursery where we specialise in growing Italian fruit and vegetables traditionally, without artificial fertilisers or chemicals.

Just a few minutes walk to South Downs, 14 minutes walk to our local village pub, restaurant's and shops and 25 minute walk to the beach.

 

The beauty of this location is that you are away from it all yet are a short distance from Arundel, Worthing, Chichester and Brighton with very close bus and train links.

 

We have created a peaceful escape, ideal for anyone that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. 

Our guests happiness and comfort means everything to us so we go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as perfect as possible. Since we opened we have consistently achieved 5-star super host status on Airbnb.

ABOUT

ABOUT

We are Luca and Trina, and live on our nursery, specialising in organically grown produce, with our children and our dad who lives next door. We are a family built upon Italian traditions; great food, love and a glass of vino! We have spent many years renovating our nursery and converting the old packing shed into our new family home after spending many happy years living in Honeysuckle lodge before converting it into our own holiday let so people can come and enjoy what we have created.

 

We have a great Italian emphasis on the plants we grow, how we live and strive to keep the traditions going.  We love to teach others in the way we live, a very self sufficient life. Every summer we open the greenhouses to sell our produce to the local community.

Now we would like to share this lifestyle with others. Back to basic living is extremely desirable in the modern day high tempo lifestyle that we lead in the 21st century.  Certain ways of growing and eating your own food, are becoming forgotten, with people not knowing how fruit and veg are grown, we would love to educate people in this simplistic life.

GUEST REVIEW

Speech marks

Highly recommend Luca and Trina's place for a stay. We travelled without a car and it was easy to reach and felt nicely isolated but within walking distance of shops. The house and garden are both fantastic. We had a perfect long weekend. Many thanks!
