Amazing Location for a Group Trip

This was my second stay at Shires Barn. When I walked in the first time I knew I wanted to go back, and I arranged a gathering of 12 for a birthday weekend. There is so much space - with 3 separate sitting areas and two garden spaces, there are lots of opportunities for a bit of quiet time if needed, but equally, the main communal space is perfect for eating, chatting, drinking and, it turns out, a silent disco! Copious parking, really well furnished and comfortable accommodation, lovely gardens, and all a short drive from the coast or Chichester. I can't recommend Shires Barn highly enough.

Excellent large house for a multi generational holiday

Shires Barn has everything thing for all ages to enjoy. The trampoline in the garden was a huge hit with the children as was the separate lounge for movie nights. Enjoyed having the Aga to cook on, great for large family meals. Plenty of room for the ‘cooks’ to move around in the kitchen area. Lots of parking. Lovely short walk by the river into the village.

A great space for a large family gathering

We had a brilliant time celebrating a special occasion in a great venue. Lots of room for all generations to spread out and be together as well as have some space! We especially enjoyed the large kitchen/diner/lounge area. Any ‘teething’ problems with the property were quickly resolved.

Group Trip May

We visited Shires barn as a group of 8 adults and 5 children, it was perfect for this group! The space was huge and living areas were far enough away from bedrooms to not wake the children at night! The garden spaces and trampoline etc were amazing for the little ones. The space was well thought out, beautifully decorated and in a great location. The only feedback we had is that we couldnt find a handbook so didnt know where to put bins etc and there was no number ot call other than for emergencies which this wasn't. This was minor feedback and our stay was amazing, we would recommend without hesitation.

Great location in a fantastic little village

A reasonably well equipped house with fantastic open space for entertaining and eating. Lovely snug for TV watching means those who want some peace and quiet can go elsewhere. Could do with a few more items in kitchen, e.g. cafatiere for making coffee (one nespresso maching for 14 people is not enough). But apart from that all great, thank you.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Nov, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the space and snug, and appreciate your note about the cafetiere we’ll look into adding more coffee options for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back!

A special place for our family gathering

The house was almost perfect for our three generational family of 12. Lots of both indoor and outdoor space for everyone to enjoy. We particularly liked the large lounge/kitchen/diner. Two large gardens with a trampoline and swings for the little ones and space to play badminton and football. I say almost perfect because there were only three bathrooms. As one was en-suite that meant two bathrooms for ten guests. The showers were good except for the one in the en-suite which wasn't a proper shower, just a shower head over the bath. I would like to make a suggestion that a stair rail should be provided. Housekeeping issues: 1. Not enough toilet rolls. 2. No dishwasher or washing detergent provided. 3. The sheet on the king size bed in the en-suite room was too small and wouldn't stay put.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug, 2026
Thank you for your detailed review and for highlighting what you enjoyed about the property, we’re delighted it worked so well for your three-generational family and that you made good use of the gardens and spacious living areas. We really appreciate your feedback regarding the bathrooms, stair rail and housekeeping points, and we’ll certainly take these comments on board. As the property is self-catering, we provide a starter supply of essentials, including enough toilet rolls to get guests started, rather than supplies for the full stay. Thank you again for your helpful feedback, and we’re pleased you had an enjoyable family stay with us. [Emoji Removed]

Summer friends stay at Shires Barn

The barn is in a lovely setting, easy to find, with lots of local attractions for families and in walking distance to shops / pubs. The house is beautiful, with 2 separate gardens. The building itself is huge and lovely interiors. A lovely sociable kitchen with an aga so it can get a bit toasty inside. Very well stocked kitchen with pots / pans / utensils. Unfortunately there were noisy building works right outside when we were staying which we weren’t warned about beforehand which disrupted nap time for our little ones & made it rather stressful / put a dampener on our holiday for 2 of the 3 days. There’s also very low water pressure I expect due to the size, so you can’t have more than one shower or bath at a time. We managed but I expect it would be harder with a large group of adults.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug, 2025
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the barn, gardens, and well-stocked kitchen, and we really appreciate your kind words about our team’s quick service. We’re very sorry about the unexpected building works — these were from the neighboring property and we weren’t aware of them until you let us know. Thankfully, they stopped shortly after. We also appreciate your feedback on the water pressure and will keep it in mind for future guests.
