Luxury self-catering accommodation in Billingshurst

Billingshurst’s high street is lined with independent shops and timber-framed pubs, where a pint of Sussex ale awaits. On the third Wednesday of every month, the Billingshurst Farmers Market offers fresh, local produce – think tangy goat’s cheese and plump strawberries – perfect for a picnic stop as you explore the South Downs National Park. For a dose of history, the nearby Arundel Castle, Fishbourne Roman Palace and the moated Bodiam Castle each offer a glimpse into centuries-old stories and architectural splendour. Alternatively, the golden shores of West Wittering, just a scenic drive away, provide an idyllic setting for slow afternoons.

If you’re searching for a holiday home in and around Billingshurst to bring the family – dogs included – opt for an enchanting mill retreat steeped in nature. Here, the River Arun winds gently through the garden, while secret walkways bordered by sculpted topiary pyramids invite slow exploration in an Alice in Wonderland-like setting. For a romantic couples’ escape, discover a 700-year-old grain barn with a riverside hot tub and windows that frame far-reaching views over wildflower-strewn water meadows. A French dining set in the courtyard sets the scene for al fresco dinners, with dishes that can be prepared by a private chef available on request.
