Embers
Near Chichester, West Sussex
From £235 per night
Set back from the road behind a canopy of trees, Embers reveals itself only to those lucky few who visit. The approach to this remarkable bolthole is shared with the area's historic manor house, creating a peaceful and private approach. A family-friendly luxury lodge sleeping five, it is the perfect West Sussex retreat for those who want space, seclusion and a private hot tub to come home to.
Passing an 18th century icehouse – a legacy of the original estate – you’ll reach Embers. Built to showcase its breathtaking South Downs views, this architecturally unique timber-clad home has a small environmental footprint but a big sense of place.
For those who appreciate the outdoors, there’s a warm welcome. Pass the large border of shrubs and flowers and climb the timber steps to reach the front door. Just outside, the sweetly scented choisya (look for its bounty of white flowers in spring and late summer) points the way to your private hot tub and outdoor dining area.
Here, it’s all about feeling at home in the surrounding scenery. Inside, the refreshing calm is tempered by a good dose of fun. Book-lined walls, quirky painted doorways and floor-to-ceiling windows all brighten the mood, as well as the space.
With an open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area, natural light flows like water. Against this backdrop, interesting finds wait at every turn; spaces are styled with historic tapestries, shelves of treasures, and gems from the owner’s carefully curated art collection. When combined with contemporary architecture, elegant antique furniture, and mid-century modern pieces, there’s plenty of scope for the imagination.
There's one double, one super king zip-and-link, and one raised double bed, tucked away in a cosy nook, making a comfortable and homely retreat after an evening stretched out in front of the wood burner (from which the property so aptly takes its name). You’ll also find a generous three bathrooms, comprising two showers and a bath, and a handy boot room for storing wellies and coats. For cooks, there’s a well-kitted kitchen with all you need, including a full-height wine cooler. And, to fuel that show-stopping wood burner, the owner provides logs from her woodland estate in Sussex.
Whatever the season, outside time is a pleasure. Embers’ safely enclosed lawn wraps right around the back of the property, forming a versatile area for adults, children and pets alike. Stunning views, a double pond and the outdoor hot tub all make this a prime location for embracing the calm with early morning yoga or an evening sundowner.
Notes of birdsong add to the prevailing sense of peace, but you’re closer to civilisation than you think, with Chichester just a 10-minute drive away! Beyond the surrounding farmland, it’s not far to the local pub (three of them, in fact), while the Goodwood Estate is less than ten minutes away by car, making this a fantastic countryside retreat for family adventures.
