✨ A U T U M N A T T H E G O G S ✨ Once the gateway to the Petworth estate, these two 18th century gatehouses by Matthew Brettingham sit side by side on a gentle hill, wrapped in ancient woodland and reached by a private woodland road. Inside, it’s a world of its own. In Gog, a domed ceiling rises above antique tapestries, with a grand piano and the park stretching beyond the arched window. In Magog, a log burner glows, a spiral stair leads up to a balcony bedroom, and a roll top bath waits for slow autumn evenings. By day, wander through Petworth Park among the deer, or stroll into town for antiques and lunch. By night, there is nowhere else you need to be. ✨ Sleeps 2 and an infant ✨ Petworth, West Sussex ✨ Dogs welcome To plan your autumn hideaway, send us a message or visit luxuryboltholes.com.

By day, pull on your boots and head out into the South Downs with the dog at your heels. Come home to a crackling hearth, a pile of good books and nowhere else to be. ✨ Sleeps 6 | 3 bed | 3 bath ✨ Stedham, West Sussex ✨ Dogs welcome To plan your autumn escape, send us a message or visit luxuryboltholes.com.
