The Woodcote is perfectly located as we’re surrounded by countryside, yet close to so many beautiful, historical, interesting places to discover and explore.
The magnificent Petworth House and Park is a short drive away, as is Cowdray, with its year round calendar of events. Goodwood, home to some of the world’s most celebrated sporting occasions is also nearby.
Take to our country lanes and visit some of the pretty villages close to The Woodcote, such as Midhurst – perfect strolling territory, with its many independent shops and cafés and regular farmers market.
From vineyards to bookshops, and golf to stately homes, our team are happy to book, advise and organise activities for you.
