They love the Surrey Hills so much that they decided to revisit the barn after first staying around 15 years ago.

Artists’ retreat idea for July: combine a couple of creative days at Watts Gallery – Artists’ Village with a peaceful stay at Puttenham Barn Bunkhouse. 🎨🏡
Throughout July, Watts Gallery has a rich programme of exhibitions, talks and hands-on creative events ✨ — from The Art of Wallpaper: Morris & Co. and Women of ‘Our Time’ to curator tours, plein air painting, block printing and botanical drawing 🖌️🌸.
Make it a mini retreat with us! 🌿 Arrive car-free 🚌, soak up the art 🎨, then follow the signposted North Downs Way towards Puttenham for a beautiful 1¾-mile walk to the Barn 🥾.
Getting here the greener way: take the Stagecoach 46 bus 🚌 from Guildford, Farnham, Farncombe or Godalming and alight at Watts Gallery, Compton — the stop is right outside the Gallery 📍. This route is ideal if you live in Farnham, Godalming or Guildford and fancy a great-value minibreak 💚 without the long-haul journey.
🎟️: Watts Gallery offers a car-free discount for visitors arriving by bus, train, bike or on foot, and Puttenham Barn Bunkhouse also offers a Green Discount for guests arriving on foot, by bicycle or by public transport 🌍
Using the 46 also helps show demand for this much-loved local service 🙌 — including the campaign to extend it to Sundays — while turning the journey itself into part of the inspiration: Surrey Hills views 🌄, village lanes, art, walking and a warm welcome at the Barn 🏡.
Why go car-free? 🌿
• Lower your carbon footprint while enjoying the Surrey Hills scenery along the way 🌳
• Save money with great-value bus travel and Green Discounts at both Watts Gallery and the Barn 🎟️
• Turn the journey into part of the retreat, with time to look, sketch, read or simply unwind 🚌
• Support local bus services — every extra journey helps show demand for routes like the 46, including the campaign for a Sunday service 🙌
• Arrive refreshed, inspired and ready for art, walking and a peaceful night away 🎨
And don’t forget: you may qualify for free local bus travel through the national concessionary travel scheme, while government fare support has also helped keep many single bus journeys more affordable. Check your eligibility and fare before you travel. 🚌✨
Plan your July artists’ escape: bus to Watts Gallery, explore the exhibitions, walk the North Downs Way to Puttenham, and settle in for a simple, sustainable creative retreat at the Barn. 🎨🌿🚌
