We had a wonderful time at the barn, it is beautiful. Much bigger than I expected and the perfect place for a family Christmas. The countryside around the barn is stunning. Sally was very welcoming and we would stay here again without hesitation.

Amazing accommodation

This place is just perfect for a family get together. It is well equipped and spacious. It is in a very rural setting, good for walks and not too far to the coast. We would like to come again.

Excellent accommodation in peaceful rural setting

Our group of friends really enjoyed staying in this property. As a group we like walking and visiting historical sites. The ability to have walks right from our doorstep and easy access to National Trust and other places of interest ticked all our boxes. We appreciate the effort the hosts have put into making this such a good place to stay on holiday.

Wonderful countryside getaway!

We loved our 9 day stay in the converted barn. Sally was easy to communicate with and helpful. The barn is spacious and comfortable with room to relax both indoor and outside. Hikes through the fields and glimpses of wildlife at dusk were also highlights. We would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful top quality holiday property

A wonderful weekend in this stunning barn conversion. The owners have thought of everything and it is a perfect place for a family get together. So many thoughtful extras - feels like home from home. There's lots of space, beautiful furnishings, quality beds and it's spotlessly clean. Such a gorgeous location - feels like the middle of nowhere but really accessible. We loved it and highly recommend it.

A fabulous base to explore the South Downs from

Would highly recommend Orchard Barn. Beautiful location with so many wonderful walks on the doorstep. The house was huge with so much space whilst being really welcoming - and well insulated/cosy! Really well kitted out kitchen. Very comfortable beds and sofas. And the luxury of a private bathroom for every bedroom. Everyone loved our stay and left relaxed and refreshed.

Perfect Getaway

We had such a lovely time at this beautifully decorated and spacious barn. We felt at home straight away and really did not want to leave. We were a family of 8 adults and 2 dogs and the barn was perfect for our getaway together. The garden is a beautiful spot to relax in and the use of the field at the back for the dogs to run around in was a real bonus. Sally was very welcoming and on hand if we needed anything. Wonderful property and wonderful host.

Fabulous South Downs Holiday Home

We had a really great week here. We thought the house was bigger than it appears in the photos and was very comfortable and well equipped. Check in was straight forward - we found the property easily and the owners (who live next door) popped in to check we were ok. There are plenty of beautiful South Downs walks and cycle rides directly from the property or within a 30 minute car journey.

Delightful property!

Orchard Barn is a gem of a property. With a family group of 6 adults and 2 children we had great space to roam, a beautiful garden and everything we could possibly want in terms of amenities and equipment. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Sally is a helpful and friendly host and we felt well informed and nicely cosseted.

Wow fantastic

The barn was outstanding in cleanliness, space and equipment. The garden was beautiful, daisies everywhere. Lovely walks for our two dogs.

A very comfortable, spacious and well equipped property close to the South Downs Way. The owners are helpful and informative. The website booking process was tortuous and they patiently guided us through.

New Year's Stay

This is a great barn with a huge amount of living space as well as an enormous kitchen. We were a group of 6 but even with another 2 people, the barn is very spacious. It was immaculate when we arrived, the kitchen is well equipped and we had a fabulous stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great during our stay but we managed a couple of local walks and a pub lunch. I would highly recommend this and would be more than happy to go back!

Perfect in every way.

Large roomy house with everything you could need for a family holiday. A quiet bedroom for the baby. Loads of dining space and a huge kitchen with everything you could want. Had a lunch party for 14 in the garden with matching chairs. Sally, the host lives next door and was on hand for any problems. Could not recommend it more for a holiday at any time of the year.

Family weekend

A lovely family jubilee weekend away at this super accomodation. Orchard Barn is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. We had ample space for 7 adults and a dog and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquil setting whilst being within a range of places to visit. The approach roads are narrow but we managed fine and there are numerous footpaths all about for exploring the Sussex countryside. We would most definitely return.

Lovely property, clean, comfortable and spacious. Not in easy walking distance of a pub or shop but that was exactly what we wanted so 5 stars. Host was very helpful and on hand but not in any way intrusive.

Room and comfort for the whole family

We had a week at the Orchard House with my in-laws. My mother in law is in a wheelchair and the wet bathroom with shower was amazing and there was a lot of room to move her around in the house. The house is beautiful and we did several walks to take advantage of the great weather. There is tons of space for everyone to have some private times and lots of places to gather as a family. The kitchen is magnificently appointed and a dream to cook in. We will definitely stay again. And it’s wonderful for wheelchair users. Thanks.

Great stay at Orchard Barn

Lovely weekend break in Up Marden, the barn was perfect for our family group of 4 adults, plenty of space for us all inside and out. Having 4 bathrooms took away a load of hassle, though as some other reviews have said, the upstairs bedrooms (bath only) could benefit with having a shower tap/attachment. Whole place very clean and tidy, no trace of any previous furry guests. The log fire was lovely, good selection of puzzles and games to keep us entertained as well as netflix TV which was very handy for a lazy afternoon. Lovely rural location, but close to the Witterings beaches as well as Chichester town. Plenty to keep us occupied for the long weekend. We didn't eat out locally in the end, but lots of lovely looking pubs nearby all serving food. Sally was a great hostess, popped in on our arrival day to check we had everything we needed - provided one of the best Victoria Sponges we've ever had! Plus a bottle of wine and fresh milk was a lovely touch. Highly recommend staying here, we will be back!

We had the best stay, the house beautiful and is stocked with all you’d need and more. The host is very helpful, accommodating and very easy to contact. There are lovely local walks and pubs and there was nothing we wanted for. We’d love to stay here again, thank you so much. Would highly reccommend to others.

A lovely bolt hole, with country walks and trails. But close to Portsmouth Royal Naval Dockyard, Chichester. There are some lovely sights to see and days out to enjoy. Location is perfect. The property has everything you need, ensuite bathrooms and Wi-Fi. Home from home.
