Arrive whenever suits you – there’s no rush. If your lodge isn’t quite ready yet, why not:

• Slip straight into the spa for a little pre-check-in unwind.
• Grab a coffee on Botanica’s terrace and ease into the surroundings.
• Lounge by one of the pools and breathe in the Sussex air.
• Take a stroll through the grounds to get your bearings.

From 3pm, head to your lodge, unpack (or don’t!) and settle in:

• Sip on your welcome seasonal cocktail and enjoy the treats waiting for you.
• Step out onto your deck, take in the sounds of nature, and just... be.
• Spot the chilling bottle of Ridgeview English sparkling wine – ready to enjoy whenever the moment feels right.

When you’re ready for dinner:

• Call for your ‘on call’ buggy to whisk you over to Botanica for a relaxed first-night dinner of Mediterranean flavours and sharing plates.
• Dine at your own pace, then let us know when you’d like a ride back to your lodge.

Sink into bed for a deep, restful sleep.

Take the morning at your own pace:

• Have a breakfast hamper quietly delivered to your lodge’s cubby hole, no interruptions, just you and a slow start to the day.
• Linger over coffee in the lounge or on your deck overlooking the lake.
• Housekeeping will stop by, just let us know when works for you.

When you’re ready, it’s time to spa:

• Step into total relaxation – sauna, steam, three pools, endless loungers.
• Treat yourself to a light, fresh lunch at Botanica.
• Book a treatment – massage, facial, body wrap, or maybe a manicure.

Back at your lodge, make the most of your private space:

• Raid the stocked fridge and snack drawer.
• Sink into a deep soak in your deck spa bath.
• If you’re in a spa lodge, enjoy your very own steam and sauna session.

Tonight, why not go all out with a Michelin-starred experience?

• The Pass offers a tasting menu that’s pure artistry, with a perfectly paired wine flight to match.
• Dress up (or don’t – your call!), hop in the buggy, and let the night unfold.

After another dreamy night’s sleep, fuel up with a full English in Camellia, you’ll need it for today’s adventures!

Get active in the morning:

• Join a wild swimming session in the lake.
• Hit the tennis court for a friendly match.
• Take a fitness class or fit in a gym session.

Lunch is at leisure – take your time, enjoy the moment.

For the afternoon, immerse yourself in nature:

• Book a private Shinrin-yoku (Japanese forest bathing) and breathwork session with our expert, Helena Skoog.
• Let the tranquil environment work its magic before heading back to your lodge to keep that sense of serenity going.

Dinner tonight? Take it easy.

• A charcuterie hamper delivered straight to your door – the perfect relaxed feast and if it’s a cool evening be sure to light the fire too.
• Maybe open that bottle of fizz, if you haven’t already...

If you enjoy practising yoga, go through the moves on your deck – there’s truly no better setting.

Then, brunch at Botanica – a leisurely start before heading out to explore. What’s calling you today?

• A tour of local vineyards – English wine at its finest.
• A hike along the South Downs Way – rolling hills and breathtaking views.
• A wildlife safari at Knepp rewilding estate - nature unfolds in its most raw, untamed, and breathtakingly beautiful form.
• A cultural escape – Petworth House or Brighton Pavilion, both bursting with history, art and a bit of romance.

Back at your lodge, a complimentary afternoon tea hamper will be waiting – the perfect treat after a day out.

Unwind in the spa, or simply enjoy the peace of your lodge before dinner.

• Enjoy a cocktail in the hotel lounge before settling in at Camellia, where local, seasonal flavours shine.

Then, another restful night’s sleep.

What was your favourite breakfast? Have it again!

Check out is by 11am, but that doesn’t mean you have to head off straight away. Stick around and:

• Spend one last morning in the spa – stay as long as you like.
• Maybe another wild swim to wake you up?
• Or a final treatment, ensuring you leave feeling completely rejuvenated.

Then, when you’re ready, it’s time to head off – relaxed, refreshed, and already planning your next visit…
