Located in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

Offering stunning countryside views and miles of walking trails only a short distance from the historic Cathedral city of Chichester.

Accommodation at Compton Farm comprises four well appointed self-catering cottages 

each with its own fine rural views. We are proud to say that three out of our four properties are now heated by a carbon neutral ground source heating system, just one of the steps we've taken towards a more eco-friendly way of living.
