Small, adults only glamping site situated in the South Downs National Park. A ten minute walk from a local pub!

About The Downs Stables Holidays Glamping Pods

Tucked into the South Downs National Park near Findon, The Downs Stables Holidays offers a handful of glamping pods perfect for couples seeking a quiet retreat. This adults-only site keeps things refreshingly simple—showers, toilets, drinking water—and stays open year-round for those craving an off-season escape. You're just a ten-minute stroll from the local pub, ideal for lazy Sunday lunches after hiking the Downs.

The trade-off for that tranquil, small-scale feel? No pets allowed and no WiFi, so you'll need to embrace proper digital detox. If you want South Downs scenery without the crowds and don't mind roughing it slightly on amenities, this makes a peaceful base for walking or cycling the national park's chalky ridges.

I had a great couple of days at the Downs Stables. The setting, the standard of the accommodation and the hosts were nothing short of top drawer. I stayed in Straw Bear which was spotlessly clean and very well furnished. Bathroom was excellent and the bed very comfy. It was a wonderful experience to be woken up by the sound of hoof-steps. I was lucky enough to be taken up onto the gallops by Nick to watch the racehorses exercise in the morning in the most idyllic of surroundings which is an experience I will never forget and highly recommend. Ruth was a fabulous host making sure that all my needs were met for a very relaxing and comfortable stay - very friendly, welcoming and approachable. With the South Downs accessible within meters and the pretty village of Findon on your doorstep as well as access to a historic racing yard, I can't recommend a few days away here enough. I can't wait to come back! Thank you Ruth and Nick!

Booking was really easy, Ruth answered any of my questions really quickly. My partner and I stayed in the ' straw bear ' suite. Spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything we needed for a short break. Was lovely to be staying in the heart of an historic racing yard and hearing the clip clipping of hooves outside. Highly recommend

Perfect property - everything we needed for a great stay. The breakfast pack was a lovely touch. Welcoming team, happy to answer all our questions - and always smiling, despite the melting heat. Gorgeous horses to make friends with. A great base to explore the area - so much to do, plenty of places to eat & drink. We'll definitely be back for another visit. Thank you to the whole team.

We were the first to stay in the brand new aldanti cabin, it was amazing and had everything we needed. Ruth and nick were so helpful and we were even given a tour of the yard to meet the horses. It’s located in such a beautiful area and is just 30 mins from both goodwood racecourse and brighton pier. Both of which we visited for the weekend.
