The Barn at Banks Cottage
Simply stunning, stylish and comforting embrace this unique opportunity to reside within the only holiday accommodation inside the RSPB Pulborough Brooks Nature Reserve, breath-taking views!. All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: TV, Woodburner
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, (No Door)
Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds, (No Door)
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Toilet. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Travel cot and highchair. Patio garden with garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. The Barn at Banks Cottage is located at the edge of Pulborough Brooks, with misty atmospheric dawns in winter to the bright blossoming of spring through to sun drenched summer - there is no season this cottage can’t be enjoyed in.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds works tirelessly to preserve our beautiful indigenous wildlife, and there is nowhere better from which to admire their work. Relax on the patio with a pair of binoculars and a cup of coffee, or take a lengthy amble around the water’s edge to see what birdsong you can identify. With the local pub a pleasant 20 minute walk away, pop out for lunch or enjoy a hearty dinner in the evening.
If history is more your thing, then Parham Estate and Gardens is nearby where you can explore the incredible Elizabethan home and grounds. With plenty of events throughout Easter and summer, it is well worth seeing what might be on at your time of visit.
The accommodation itself has been renovated to a fantastic standard, with a luxurious kitchen, artistic log burning stove and two very comfortable bedrooms. It is perfectly cosy in winter and has a pretty patio garden to be enjoyed in summer. Pilates and personal training can also be arranged.

Fantastic accommodation with great views and excellent host
We had a fantastic stay in this very comfortable house; tastefully decorated with an eye for details, well equipped and in a quiet surrounding. We especially loved sitting on the terrace with views over the nature reserve. Paul is an excellent host: very relaxed and helpful while respecting your privacy. We can definitely recommend this accommodation!

Well equipped and decorated accommodation in a beautiful location. Lovely welcoming touches by hosts such as fresh flowers, bread, milk, local bacon and eggs and champagne! The Barn was always delightful to return to after long walks in beautiful countryside as it had uunderfloor heating. Paul, our host was most welcoming and even offered to collect a take away for us.
Beautiful sunsets from terrace, would love to return.

A very well designed and spacious cottage in a beautiful, quiet location, excellent for bird watching. It may be unsuitable for those with disability because of steps. The patio and garden were great for eating and lounging on comfortable chairs. Paul was a most engaging owner, helpful at all times and very handy with the telescope.

What a wonderful place to stay with fabulous views.
What a wonderful place to stay with fabulous views. Loved eating breakfast watching the birds on the many bird feeders in the garden and further afield. Added bonus of food including local Bacon etc from the owner Paul. Would definitely stay here again. Only negative comment is that the steps to the cottage isn’t mentioned in the description although this wasn’t a problem for us it might be for others.

An excellent, very well equipped, cottage with amazing views. Only downside was the access via 21 steps that was not mentioned before booking. One of us found this very difficult.
