Lovely stay in South Downs
This home was the perfect place for our brief stay in the South Downs with our 2 boys! The house was perfect for a family and the setting was lovely. So easy to communicate with the owners! Would recommend highly and we will come again! Thanks!

Heavenly
This was our second visit - the first having been a bit of a tease. Stayed 2 weeks this time - and were blessed with great weather which is always a bonus in the UK. Also got time to get to know the area where there's tons to do. Looking forward to returning, hopefully next year. Thank you Anna for creating such a beautiful home away from home

Lovely week in the South Downs
Wonderful week in April walking in the South Downs and visiting nearby National Trust properties. Excellent location walking from the cottage up to the South Downs Way, to local villages and to Lewes town. Several good tea rooms in easy reach too. The cottage is very comfortable, well equipped and a lovely place to relax inside or outside at the end of the day. Anna was very friendly and helpful. We always had a lovely welcome from the 2 spaniels when we arrived back.

Second visit - better than first!
We had stayed here previously in 2019 and loved it so much we returned in 2020. It was even better than last time. A lovely quiet property with all the details right! Even a hot water bottle provided! It will be hard to return to our own home! :-)

A nice quiet location
This cottage is in a lovely quiet location on a farm. It is extremely well-equipped and in our opinion was bigger than it looked in the photos. The beds are very comfortable, and there is a 'snug' with chairs and a TV apart from the main living room. The owner, Anna is very friendly. Overall we were very impressed and would happily stay again.

Dear Susan, Thank you for your review and we hope we do see you again. We have just ordered blackout blinds for the bedroom downstairs and keep trying to improve the Barn for future guests. Best Wishes Anna

Wonderful rural base for exploring local area
A spacious well-equipped converted barn with a lovely garden area for children to play. Everything you might need for a short stay is provided and nearby pubs give you the option to eat out. A very enjoyable stay. Thanks.

Idyllic Getaway in the South Downs National Park
We had a delightful stay at the barn. It's a wonderful recent conversion with a beautiful garden and glorious views. It was an easy 10 minutes drive to Lewes for the groceries and we enjoyed dinners at the local Jolly Sportsman and The Bull in Ditchling. Checkin and checkout were simple and the hostess, Anna was very helpful.

Simply gorgeous !
A fabulous base from which to explore the area including walking parts of the South Downs Way. Flint barn was very stylish and exceptionally comfortable. The pub The Jolly Sportsman was a short walk away and served excellent food and very good value.

Perfect Base for Walks
The cottage was amazing! So quiet too. Had absolutely everything we could want including an extremely well appointed kitchen, very comfortable bedding and several lovely lounge areas all in a peaceful location. Hosts were wonderful! Can’t wait to return.

Amazing property. Easy to find. A quality finished place that was wonderful
Sat nav took us straight to the property. A warm relaxing building with all the modern perks whilst still maintaining the quiet country experience. Already started recommending to friends and family. Would happily come again!!!

Well presented and in a stunning location
Really enjoyed the peace and quiet of this property and yet it is very close to Lewes. It has a very relaxing feel and is well presented throughout. On a chilly day the log burner is just lovely. Our dog was made welcome and there are nice walks from the cottage. Wished we could have stayed for longer

Sympathetically modernised barn in stunning location
Stayed here last weekend with hubby, daughter and boyfriend, son, mum and Mabel her dog! Stunning barn conversion very sympathetically and tastefully modernised in an amazing location. You drive through the main working farm up single track to access the property where there is plenty of parking directly outside. The barn itself has a fab glazed extension and internally is well thought out and has a feeling of quality. Hubby and I were in the twin room upstairs, which was very cosy but wouldn’t suit everyone because of the lack of head height. We met Anna and her husband and her 2 sons whilst we were there, they are all lovely and on hand but not intrusive at all. 2 lovely springers too! We drove into Lewes where there is a selection of pubs and reataurants, lovely town very pretty defiantly worth a visit. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and would definitely visit again. Thank you, we had a lovely weekend celebrating our sons 18th.

Great weekend in splendid barn conversion in sight of South Downs
The barn is beautifully designed and finished and extremely comfortable for 6. As well as underfloor heating, the barn has a woodburning stove. We had lovely sunny November weather and enjoyed a walk from the barn up onto the Downs and down to the pub for lunch and then back across the fields. On the Sunday we walked along the S D Way from Ditchling Beacon and then visited charming Ditchling and its lovely new Museum of Art and Craft. A memorable weekend.

Great weekend away!
Anna and Jonathan were great hosts and pretty much just left us to it! The cottage is lovely, really beautifully done and feels spacious. We stayed with two other couples, one toddler and two babies. The house was really well equipped, everything was there and plenty of shops in Lewes which is around 15 mins drive away. There are some really nice pubs within walking distance and our toddler loved exploring the farm - cows, chickens, dogs etc. We’re already discussing when we can go back, it felt like a true escape! Thank you very much for a great weekend!

Beautiful, luxurious, idyllic, comfortable & peaceful
Our stay could not have been better!! The home, the towels, the sheets, the views, the animals, the hosts...everything was amazing!! We did take Anna’s advice, and stocked up on some food at the train station grocery (Waitrosse) because the house is quite far from “civilization”. Also, Anna was able to give me detailed instructions on traveling from London in the easiest and most cost effective way. We then got a taxi van from the train station to the house, and arranged with the driver to return us to the airport (Gatwick) a few days later. It all worked great!! The setting is peaceful and relaxing, and the house is beautiful and comfortable. Anna and Johnny even gave us a ride into the neighboring town of Lewes, so we could have lunch and explore (and hit the grocery again)...I could have stayed there for a few days as well. What a charming place with lots of history!! Our stay here came after spending time in London and Paris, and it was at the top of all of our lists (there were 6 of us)! We really hope to return again!! Thank you so much to Anna and Johnny!
