Hello! I'm Sally, and I’m thrilled to welcome you back to Rife Lodges! Since taking on the management of this beautiful retreat in March 2023 alongside my husband, Paul—who has become my trusty handyman with his new little toolbox—I’ve truly enjoyed this new chapter in our lives. Having spent many years in healthcare, transitioning to this role has been a refreshing change, and I haven’t looked back since! Meeting wonderful guests has been one of the highlights of this journey, and I’m delighted that many have returned for more memorable experiences. We look forward to welcoming both returning guests and new faces to Rife Lodges. If you have any questions or need assistance during your stay, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Here’s to creating more unforgettable memories together in the stunning West Sussex countryside!
