Looking back at one of our beautiful 2023 brides

We always knew that this was going to be one very special wedding when the lovely Anna .design got in touch with us a year before her big day to reserve Little Whispers for her bridal party.

Anna is a highly recommended interior architect. Her trained eye for design and detail went into planning a beautiful English garden wedding.

Thank you Anna for sharing your stunning pictures and for choosing Little Whispers as your bridal base, we were privileged to be a small part of your day!

Barney and I finally made it to in the beautiful Arundel. It was one of the best meals we have enjoyed in a long time. Lee is clearly a most gifted chef with an impressive background. Liz provides a warm welcome out front providing a very slick service. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Pay them a visit, I can assure you it won’t disappoint. We are already planning our next visit and celebratory meals!

Our village was given the best gift this Christmas! 🎁

Our lovely pub has reopened 🎉🥂🎉

If you live local to Lodsworth do pop in and give the lovely Anna & Paul the hugest of welcomes and enjoy a gorgeous ale, wine or glass of bubbly.
For me it had to be a celebratory glass of French Rosé bubbles recommended by Anna which truly was delicious!

Late to the gram with this one.

April guests can enjoy tulip season. Arundel Castle and town put on a great display. We stumbled upon these beauties at Guildford Castle. Really appreciate living so close to this beautiful Cathedral City.

Happy Coronation Day!

Today Charles will don a very different suit than the one pictured here. May he be blessed in his role as King of our country.

We’re looking forward to watching the ceremony, celebrating with our village and welcoming our newly wed guests tonight - who are sharing their wedding day with the King and his coronation!

Today we bid farewell to our remarkable Queen and gave thanks for the service she gave to our country for 70 glorious years.

‘Grief is the price we pay for love’ words she wrote to the president of the United States of America following the terrorist attacks of 911. Her words then have personal resonance to us all today.

Archbishop Justin Welby’s sermon ended with these words.
“Service in life, hope in death. All who follow the Queen’s example, and inspiration of trust and faith in God, can with her say”, “We will meet again.”

RIP your Majesty

Little Whispers was a hive of activity hosting our latest bridal party. Evening drinks on the lawn, pampering, early morning yoga on the terrace to the buzz of the final hours. Every moment was enjoyed.

Inspired day of colour, plants and all things beautiful

Lots of thoughts to bring to Little Whispers garden for guests to enjoy.

Picnic season has arrived! 🧺

We can’t think of a more perfect way to fill a day.

Cowdray Farm Shop (5 minute drive away) couldn’t make it any more easy for you.
Which only leaves you to decide where to pitch up.

A short stroll away from picking up your picnic could find yourself at Cowdray ruins or watching on the fields.

A short drive could take you to any number of coastal landscapes and beautiful beaches.

A short walk from our back door could take you to vineyard

Or take the simple approach and picnic here at Little Whispers overlooking the South Downs.

Another nod to Spring season here at Little Whispers 🌱

Loving our foraging poster 💕

Bringing inspiration for outdoor living to our indoor interiors.

The linocut illustration details foraging plants 🍃 that can be found in the countryside. Plants are numbered and indexed at the bottom.

Printed with vegetable based, vegan inks on textural 100% recycled paper

Goes without saying that we need to follow responsible foraging guidelines. Tread carefully to minimise damage and only snip leaves not roots, taking only small quantities from bountiful areas 🥰

The Pig in the South Downs
Madehurst, high up on the South Downs and only 20 mins from us.



Many of our guests have been enjoying celebrating special occasions at this very special hotel restaurant. We finally made it last month and what a treat it was!

Judy Hutson’s (the creative behind the incredible interiors) eclectic style is both inspiring and lifting to the soul. She’s untrained and designs by intuition to the feel of each property - I love that!

The restaurant offers a 25 Mile radius menu with a commitment to serving home grown food from their kitchen garden and supporting local.

With West Sussex fast becoming renowned for its excellent wine producing land they have planted 4000 vines on their south facing slopes.

If you fancy experiencing this magical place we recommend booking far in advance. Don’t forget they also offer pampering treatments in their potting sheds.

last December at their light up trail - when Covid was our biggest worry!
