We offer simple overnight accommodation for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. This is an imaginative project with a strong environmental emphasis.
The Camping Barn provides reasonably priced wardened accommodation - similar to, but more basic than a Youth Hostel. It is ideally located situated on the North Downs Way and the now-open Sustrans cycle route 22, between Guildford and Farnham at a point not served by any Youth Hostels.
Have a look at this Sustrans map for their location information on Puttenham Camping Barn.
The barn is in Puttenham village in the west of Surrey directly opposite the ancient parish church. The full address is: The Street, Puttenham, Guildford, Surrey, GU3 1AR.
The Ordnance Survey grid reference for the barn is SU 933 479.
Please note that we have no parking for motor vehicles at the barn. If you have limited mobility and need to bring a vehicle, please contact us first.
For 2012 we open at Easter and normally then weekends from April to October; we're also open spring half term and weekdays for a long period in the Summer. Always feel free to contact us if you want to stay at other times. Booking is essential; refer to the Bookings page to ensure that we are open on the dates you hope to stay. In addition to the sleeping area there is also a communal kitchen and a shower-room. The barn does its best to cater for people with disabilities.

Our wonderful old listed building has been sympathetically restored to be environmentally friendly. We have rainwater harvesting, solar electricity and solar hot water. The restoration we have carried out enables you to see traditional and sustainable construction methods. A lockable cycle storage shed is available - designed by cyclists for cyclists!
