Guests say
The Barn receives glowing praise for its beautiful, peaceful setting and exceptionally well-equipped, cosy accommodation. Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, thoughtful touches, and the relaxing hot tub with countryside views. The property is dog-friendly, family-friendly, and offers delightful encounters with animals such as horses and alpacas. The location is ideal for exploring the South Downs and nearby attractions. Minor drawbacks include low ceilings in the bathroom and occasional difficulty finding the property, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.
Cleanliness is repeatedly described as outstanding, with guests noting the cottage is spotless, well-maintained, and welcoming. Only one minor mention of garden maintenance and a missing dustpan, but the interior is consistently praised.
The location is highly rated for its tranquillity, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to local attractions, walks, and towns. A few guests found it slightly tricky to find initially, but clear instructions were provided.
Guests find The Barn extremely comfortable, with cosy interiors, comfortable beds, and a homely atmosphere. Some mention the bedrooms can get warm and the sloping ceilings in the bathroom limit shower use, but overall comfort remains a strong point.
Facilities are excellent, with a well-equipped kitchen, hot tub, enclosed garden, and amenities for families and dogs. The only minor issues are the lack of a stand-up shower due to low ceilings and occasional Wi-Fi limitations.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as fresh eggs, toiletries, seasonal decorations, and dog treats. While these gestures are appreciated, it should be noted that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

JANE MEE
We loved The Barn. It was ideal for us and our dogs, with lovely woods and a field to walk in. The back garden was fenced off so safe for the dogs too.The Barn itself was perfect, with everything we needed for our stay. Incredibly comfortable and clean.The owners were around should we need anything but never intrusive.We loved the various animals and enjoyed having the horses over the fence. We would definitely recommend The Barn to anyone wanting a relaxing, peaceful holiday.

Lovely,peaceful place to stay. Very well equipped. Hot tub a delightful extra. Could have done with a dust pan and brush as brought in plenty of leaves from the garden. The garden could do with a spruce up as weeds prevalent and several of the lanterns broken.
