Come stay with us at Mill Meadows Farm in our cosy shepherd’s hut. The hut sleeps two people and is located on our family run farm, so you’ll have the best view of our rare breed animals, including our alpaca herd. Located in Westbourne Village on the edge of the South Downs National Park with excellent links to Chichester and Portsmouth. Equipped with all the essentials you need to make your stay enjoyable.
The Hut
Our hut is nestled between our family home and our log cabin. Situated in our pond garden in it’s own fenced area. You’ll get the best views of the farm and our Alpaca paddock. It is equipped with all the essentials you need to make your stay enjoyable. We pop in some farm sourced or local goodies and make sure the hut has tea & coffee to make you feel at home. Enjoy some bubbles (or soft drink if requested) upon arrival which you can enjoy outside on the picnic bench or around the fire pit while taking in the scenery.

Facilties & Other things to note
As mentioned above the shepherds hut is located next to our second holiday let- the log cabin. We ask that guests are respectful with noise levels between the hours 10pm-8am. We live on site also and will be available to assist with any issues during your stay. We have considered privacy of all our accommodation sites and have created private gardens for each so that you are not overlooked. (except from the odd nosey alpaca)
During the winter months we have provided an efficient electric heater. All year we keep the outdoor fire pit stocked with firewood for cosy evenings together.
Toilet and washroom is located about 10 meters from the hut, and we have created a cosy separate lounge area in our old aquaponics tunnel for rainy days!! Equipped with heater and blankets.
The hut is situated in its own garden and this is exclusively yours during your stay. The farm is set on 24 acres and with a small briefing from the team you are welcome to wander through the fields to explore.
We are a family that lives on site and we love to be as accessible as possible for our guests. We will be on site to welcome you and show you round the property as well as being available to answer any questions you may have. You will be able to contact a member of the OBG via phone throughout your stay with us.
