“The lodge was amazing had everything needed and listed.”

Cosy lodge. Lots of blankets, very clean. The owners were very helpful with any queries. Was a little hard to find as going into the place looks like a driveway but other than that it was lovely. Had a lovely time thank you.

“We had a very good stay.”

The property was small but this was reflected in the price. The beds were very comfortable, although the seating, which was small, was a little hard but presumably this was due to the size of the room. Overall we had a great stay, and the owner made us some very delicious banana cake which really did hit the spot. This property was very central to many places ie Brighton, which can be done on the bus, various National Trusts and lovely walks. Would definitely recommend.

“The lodge was as described but we found it a bit too isolated.”

Too far to walk anywhere to buy a paper / croissant. But v peaceful. Even saw deer in the proto-orchard on two mornings. Beds were comfortable but too little space in the rooms, not even a chair for when undressing: we're elderly. The two easy chairs had both lost padding in the seats. So, not so easy. The vacuum cleaner refused to run for more than a few seconds at a time, and the outsides of the glass sliding door and side panel needed cleaning which was a pity when trying to view wildlife.

“Nice little property on arrival and cake and basics always appreciated.”

Hot shower and comfortable beds, modern television with usual apps. Unfortunately we arrived during a very cold weekend and found the heating (which is not controllable by guests) inadequate, especially during the day. We did attempt to resolve this with the hosts. Please bear this in mind if travelling in the winter and planning to relax inside. Lovely pub with open fire a short drive away luckily- The Royal Oak.

- Carla, February 2025

Despite lodge having oil central heating radiators in every room which is generally plenty warm enough, we have taken your comments onboard and installed additional heating. Property Owner

“Everything you need for a comfortable stay away from home - Denise and her husband were lovely - so friendly and helpful.”

“Quiet and peaceful location and handy for visiting Brighton and surrounding area.”

Also near Horsham so good public transport link to London if required using Horsham's Park and Ride bus to the station. Definitely recommend.

Linda September 2024

“Lovely little lodge that fitted our needs for a week in Sussex visiting friends.”

Felt warmly greeted with a lovely welcome pack and delicious cake. Beds were comfy, facilities more than adequate, settee and chairs a tad firm after a wet afternoon of sitting reading. Lovely deer visitors to the orchard after the fallen apples, squirrels and birds too. A wholesome rural week. Cider tap worth a visit nearby as is royal oak for Sunday roast.

“This was more of a ‘mobile home’ than a cottage but was pretty comfortable.”

It is well sheltered by trees (gets very little sun) and felt just slightly damp - but opening the big door and windows soon cleared that. It has all the equipment and facilities needed but was a little bijou! The shower was a tight squeeze to get into but fine once in it! There were only two of us but I think 4 adults would feel constricted - especially if the weather was bad. We luckily had a week of glorious autumn sunshine. . It is positioned on a fairly quiet lane just off the busy A272. Turning onto and off this road needs patience and maybe a polite driver to let you turn. There are lots of things to do around there, within a 45 minute drive or closer. We particularly enjoyed Standen House (NT), Hever Castle (we were lucky to visit at the same time as a big craft market), Shoreham-by-Sea (pleasant little town), Lewes (get the history walking trail map), Bignor Roman villa and Eastbourne (lovely seafront). Denise was very welcoming (great banana loaf) and was a friendly and unobtrusive host. Look out for the wildlife in the orchard - deer, squirrels, rabbits and birds.

“Everything was fine.”

Would have loved the sliding patio doors to have new glass for a better outlook.

“A great place to stay with all the modern facilities one needs.”

The welcome provision by the host of lovely cake was delightful. Would certainly stay there again.

John March 2024

“Nice lodge, clean and well appointed.”

Gated entry with dog walking on nearby footpaths in fields just 50m up road. The lodge was warm and cosy when we stayed in March and a good base for visiting friends in Sussex. Appreciated the home made cake left for us for when we arrived.

- John, March 2024
Alison February 2024

“Great little base for us to visit family in Brighton - took less than 20 minutes by the back roads.”

It's a small lodge - was fine for my sister and me but four adults might be cramped. And we did notice there was only a reading light on one side of each double bed. For us that wasn't a problem and everything was as advertised, clean & pleasant. We'd definitely go again. Only thing to note is the instructions for finding the place - the wording is ambiguous and we interpreted it to say the property was on the right hand side of the road, not the right side of the house - which meant we were hunting for the right gateway in the dark and the rain.

- Alison, February 2024

“Fantastic location!”

Moira October 2023

“We enjoyed a relaxing break away at Harvest Lodge.”

The lodge is very warm and cosy with plenty of hot water and heating as required. A great shower, comfortable beds and a well appointed kitchen. The hosts were friendly, on site but not in the way. It is dog friendly and there is a grassed area in front of lodge. As has been stated before, pack light as not a lot of storage and bring bath towels with you to supplement the small ones supplied. To sum up, a nice quiet, cosy, rural break away

- Moira, October 2023
Sara September 2023

“For hospitality and location.”

Great. No washing machine is what it is and given the size of the lodge understandable. Well equipped kitchen. I wished i had taken an apron but there's always something!! Denise and Gary lovely down to earth hosts with delicious cake. Thank you

- Sara, September 2023
Rick September 2023

“We had a lovely stay in the Lodge.”

Due to the sunny weather it was a nice week in a very nice part of England. We were welcomed with a freshly backed cake. With a cuppa this was a good start. To be honest two couples will have to find there place, but for a single, two persons, or a family, it’s a very nice to stay.

- Rick, September 2023
Lisa August 2023

“Dear Denise, We had such a relaxing break and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harvest Lodge.”

Harvest Lodge was fresh, clean and fully equipt with lovely furnishings, very comfortable and peaceful. Waking up to thevbeautiful surroundings on the veranda for tea and breakfast was a perfect start to a day of exploring all that the surrounding areas have to offer. Thank you for your warm and friendly welcome and we especially enjoyed the banana and coconut loaf on arrival, a lovely personal touch and it was delicious! We hope to book with you again in the future. Many thanks, Lisa, Jenny, Harrison and Charlie (dog)

Kay July 2023

“A lovely property and well maintained.”

Would definitely recommend and would be great to hire both lodges together with friends. The only issue we had(well my teenage son had!) was that the WiFi connection wasn't great although this was solved by paying for access to BT hotspot. Definitely recommend.

- Kay, July 2023
Gordon June 2023

“I think that you should specify in your marketing that there are two cabins on site .”

That is my only criticism but otherwise my wife and me had a lovely’ holiday .

- Gordon, June 2023
Elizabeth March 2023

“Very well equipped cottage - very good facilities.”

Would be a bit cramped for 2 couples but ideal for my friend and I. Recommend bringing large bath towels (ones provided are too small for me!)

- Elizabeth, March 2023
Julie December 2022

“Very compact lodge, which was nice and clean, in a lovely area.”

We visited in winter but the decking would be nice to sit out on in better weather and obviously would greatly enlarge the living space available. The bedrooms are very compact with no real space down one side of the bed, one of the bedrooms doesn't really have any space for even a small suitcase although there are a couple of small drawers and some hanging space. The lodge was nice and warm and had a good shower too. We were unable to connect to the wifi and the owner and his son very helpfully came out to reset the router for us but unfortunately the connection was still very patchy and dropped out frequently, we also had limited mobile coverage (O2). The owner did mention that fibre broadband would be available from early January so this should solve that problem. Overall the lodge is very nice and has all the facilities needed to have a nice break but travel light!

“Wonderful lodge to stay at nice quite for relaxing need car to get around to main towns nice wslk to local villages”

- Jason, November 2022
Michael September 2022

“Well equipped compact cottage in a good location.”

Location directions excellent using 'WhatThreeWords'. Some restriction on space heating settings and a slightly intrusive extractor fan noise in the living area. Broadband availability limited.

- Michael, September 2022

Hello We do wish you would have spoken with us, the fan has a switch by the side which can easily switch it off. With regards to broadband we do pay for an independent BT supply for broadband to the cabinet for the lodges and we are in a 5G area, this should not have been limited?? Property Owner

Lovely hosts and the host and the home made cake was a lovely touch

Robert June 2022

“Very nice quiet place to stay and the owners are very approachable living next door in their own house.”

The wi-fi wasn't very strong kept going off and they didn't have a hairdryer for the wife so mentioned that to them and they decided to buy some to put in the units. Parking place was good with automatic gates and they even left us a welcoming cake which was a nice gesture.

- Robert, June 2022
Robert June 2022

“We had a great time from arrival to leaving, the positioning of the lodge is brilliant overlooking a small orchard, the facilities were very good, its dog friendly which is a great bonus, and is well placed for travel around Sussex and beyond.”

Provisions in place on arrival were very welcome, have to mention the cake, home made and delicious. Gary and Denise are excellent hosts, who made us feel at home.

- Robert, June 2022
Paula June 2022

“We had a super stay.”

The location and setting were beautiful. Your banana and coconut loaf was absolutely delicious - can I have the recipe???? The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean, tidy and well presented. We would (and likely will!) definitely stay again. We felt very comfortable and generally, thought the lodge was well equipped. It’s in no way a complaint but, we felt the addition of a drying rack for the draining board would be very useful, and a couple of extra knives (for different chopping tasks) in the kitchen would be helpful for people who may be doing more cooking at home as we did.

- Paula, June 2022
Doug May 2022

“The lodge is situated in a secluded & peaceful settling yet very handy for the M23 and other routes around Sussex and of course London.”

The owners are very friendly and helpful. They left a homemade coconut and banana cake and also supplied tea,coffee and sugar for guests. Even sent a text message after we left to wish us a safe journey home.

About the location

BOLNEY

Hickstead 4 miles; Brighton 11 miles; Lewes 15 miles.

Bolney is a pretty village in the heart of Sussex, perfectly located for visits to both the east and west of the county. Set to the west of the main A23 dual carriageway which runs from London to Brighton, this quiet part of a rural landscape offers much more than can be seen at first sight. Bolney can trace its history back to Saxon times and still has many timber-framed houses dating back to the 16th century. The All England Jumping Course at Hickstead is an equestrian sport centre only 4 miles from Bolney, principally known for its show jumping and dressage activities. As well as lots of outdoor activities and pursuits, Bolney also has its own award-winning winery that offers guided tours and tastings; just the place to choose a bottle of wine to complement that special dinner! This part of Sussex is perfect when looking to explore; after all, you can be in London in less than 45 minutes, standing by the shore in less than 20 minutes or drinking coffee in France in just over 90 minutes - not many locations can offer so much in a day!

Note: One small, well behaved dog welcome.

Please note - all bookings must end on Friday or before Friday in the week.
Note : No groups of workers or large commercial vehicles permitted.

Please note: The property accepts a maximum of four guests including infants
