Can we visit the River Rother?
Yes.
Footpaths lead down through the woodland to the River Rother, where guests can paddle, explore, pond dip or simply sit beside the water and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Please note that the river is reached via a fairly steep woodland path.
Why can't I book for one night?
Adhurst is designed as a place to slow down.
Most guests spend their first evening settling in, lighting the fire, exploring the woodland and adjusting to life without screens and plug sockets. By the following morning they’re only just beginning to relax.
For that reason we have minimum stay requirements throughout the season, allowing guests enough time to properly enjoy the experience.
In our experience, one night simply isn’t long enough.
Can I arrive by train?
Yes.
The nearest station is Petersfield, which has direct services from London Waterloo and Portsmouth.
A taxi from Petersfield Station to Adhurst takes around 10 minutes.
Many guests choose to arrive by train and enjoy a slower pace of travel from the moment their stay begins.
How does arrival and check-in work?
Check-in is between 4pm and 6pm.
Before your stay you’ll receive everything you need, including directions, gate access information and arrival instructions.
Adhurst is designed to be simple and self-reliant. There is no reception desk and no formal check-in process. Your accommodation will be prepared and ready for your arrival, allowing you to settle in at your own pace and start enjoying the woods straight away.
When you arrive, you’re welcome to drive to your accommodation to unload your belongings before moving your vehicle to the guest car park.
Most guests arrive independently using the information provided before their stay and head straight to their accommodation. We believe part of the charm of Adhurst is the feeling of discovering your own corner of the woods and settling in at your own pace.
Should you need assistance during your stay, help is available, but day-to-day life at Adhurst is designed to be relaxed, simple and self-sufficient.
