    The most beautiful, carefully curated shepherds hut in the most idyllic Sussex countryside setting with thousands of flowers in the garden. Heavenly!

    The gas stove wasn’t working but phoned the hosts to work out using an alternative one in the shed. Some windows lacked curtains so light in the morning - bring an eye mask (I was prepared!) no power so bring a power bank charger (there are some solar ones there), also no Wi-Fi and poor phone signal

    Good if you are looking for a quiet and basic and away from normal modernity experience

    A few cobwebs in corners and around windows that didn’t bother us but might bother some . No shower by we knew in advance and we understand one is being put in nearby

    Idyllic location and a very cute, quirky and romantic stay. Loved the white horse pub nearby too. We are used to a motorhome so having such a cute place and fabulous garden with an outstanding view was an easy option for us.

    I think the only thing I would say is bring a power bank, although we were warned ahead of time that phone Chargers were solar powered so we were aware, not an issue for us!

    Beautifully tranquil location with incredible views. We had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were lovely and so helpful and it was great to just unplug for the weekend! Loved watching deer and phasents in the fields. Bed was so comfy and kitchen well equipped.

    The only thing that spoiled the back to nature experience was the outside light that stayed on all night.

    Enjoyed being off grid, in remote, quiet countryside. Wonderful to be close to nature, saw deers and hares. Hut is very comfortable and cosy, with well appointed facilities. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided along with milk. Helpful hosts.

    The only thing I would say is there is no fridge and shower so if you’re planning to stay a couple of days make sure you are prepared! (We had a cool box which was very helpful)

    Up at the barn was exactly what you’d expect - it was peaceful and secluded and absolutely beautiful views. I wish I had stayed longer. The owners were kind, helpful and made sure we knew where everything was and how to work it. It was very much worth every penny and I really felt relaxed when I left! Being able to hike the downs from the doorstep is an absolute dream.

    Location was everything. So rural and peaceful. Watched the deer in the fields as the sun went down and listened to the owls in the evening. Such a relaxing night away. Bed comfortable had everything you needed for a night away. Local pub only a 10 min walk away. The walks were amazing

    Unfortunately, there was a power outage - not sure whether it was a tripped switch or something else... No-one's fault, but there was no electricity to charge my mobile phone. Luckily, it assisted me in my bid to get away from it all! 😄

    A lovely place to stay and in a superb location, so beautiful and peaceful. The hosts were very helpful and the facilities very good.

    The lighting when it got dark proved a little fiddly, it is produced via solar voltaic units, but I found out the hard way, that if there is still any light getting on the unit, they will not operate the lights. You need to turn the solar part of the unit over and then it will operate the lights.

    Comfy, everything you could want inside, the flower garden is so pretty and the views are fantastic. Great quiet location with just the odd car going along the lane from time to time. Lovely area for walking too. Anne was great with communication and gave precise details of the destination when required.

    We have no complaints! But be aware to bring a charge pack for phone etc, as there are lights but no working wall sockets. (Wasn't an issue for us)

    Now one of our favourite ever holiday stops. Beautiful remote location, Perfect for a quick get away.

    I feel lied to, there was no shower, this is not mentioned and in Fact when researching this it stated shower cubicle, which LED me to believe there was a shower. It also stated there was a hairdryer at the property, there is no hairdryer or electric and not even any decent lighting. I have photographs of the poor lighting. Please tell me how anyone can do anything in this lighting.

    It was in a pretty location and the Bed was comfortable.
