Gorgeous cottage in pretty countryside

Lovely property. Hosts pleasant and whilst they live in the house onsite they were not intrusive. Had some lovely pub meals in the area. I am sure it would be an even more beautiful location in summer. We were very cosy here in the winter evenings. My only negative comment is I found the beds uncomfortable - too firm for me.

Lovely to meet you and your family and so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and were able to sample some of the excellent pubs in our area. So sorry that the beds were too firm for you. We chose Silentnight Miracoil medium mattresses for our beds hoping this would cover the preferences of all our guests.

Wonderful Stay at The Old Barn

My husband and I were on holiday from Canada and I had booked this property for the last five nights of our trip. Upon arrival to the beautiful property, we were greeted warmly by Sue, who welcomed us and gave us a quick tour inside the house. It was immaculate and tastefully furnished. It felt cozy and welcoming. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a rural setting you will find it here. The grounds are like a park, with pretty views, and I was thrilled by lovely bird song at sunrise. The weather was cool and overcast and it showered a few times but we enjoyed our stay immensely spending the afternoons seeing the attractions in East Sussex. James was very kind and able to answer all our questions about the area and we enjoyed some interesting conversations.

Very nice house, with very friendly owners. All facilities are there, and very clean and tidy. Although the house, garden and surroundings are very dog friendly, please note that it is not allowed to leave the dog unattended at the house. Probably good to know upfront.

This is a lovely property, well laid out inside and out. There is a beautiful view over the field and beyond. Our host were very helpful and friendly. We took our cockerpoo with us and it was a wonderful place for him to explore and run in the field. Although we are short we occasionally bumped our head on the low eaves ceiling in our bedroom. Otherwise it was all excellent.

Prachtig huis

Wij hebben een fantastische tijd gehad. Het huis is prima. Van alle gemakken voorzien en heel erg schoon. Sue en James zijn zeer vriendelijk en stonden altijd klaar als wij advies nodig hadden. Dit is echt een aanrader en als wij weer deze streek willen bezoeken zullen wij zeker hier weer willen verblijven.

Needed a Place to Chill

The wife and I needed a quiet base to chill and catch up with old friends and this hit the bullseye. A great field to walk our little dog and a well kitted kitchen to prepare any size meal. We enjoyed our stay so much we've already booked another visit.

Beautiful Barn, In a great location

As a family we stayed here for 5 nights in Aug 2021. And was blown away with how nice the barn was. The views are stunning, the place is peaceful and relaxing. There is also places to venture just a short drive away. The owners James & Sue are excellent host's a very warm welcome on arrival and not intrusive while your there, just a friendly hello every now and then. Would be happy to return in the future.

Home from Home

Lovely relaxing property. Our dog loved the big field out the back. Perfect place if you want busy days out exploring, would say best to stop off for a meal on way back and then perfect place to chill in the evening just stock up on drinks and snacks so you don’t have to venture back out. The nearest pub is quite a walk and no pavements so walking is not ideal.

Fabulous location, great hosts!

A bank holiday getaway! We spent the days cycling along lovely little lanes. Great sunny weather, apart from the most amazing lightning storm one evening whilst we were snugly tucked away in bed, watching through the velux. Breakfasts out on the patio, dinners down at the pub walking distance away. Sue and James were great hosts - a friendly hello and a chat, but without being intrusive. Would definitely recommend the barn if you want somewhere quiet to relax. It all just went by too quickly.
