Comfortable Barn, Ashdown Forest, Fantastic Local Pub, Excellent For Walkers

The Barn is set in the landscaped gardens of the owners home nestling in a valley typical of the High Weald Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty and makes the perfect spot for a relaxing break.
Accommodation consists of an open plan kitchen/living/dining area, with views onto the garden. Extra guests could sleep on the large sofa bed if needed. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full size hob and oven, a washing machine and dishwasher. The bathroom is on the ground floor and has a powerful shower and heated towel rail in order your fresh towels are always warm and dry. Upstairs in the large galleried bedroom there is a comfortable king size bed with plenty of room for the z-bed or a cot (not provided) if required. Outside guests are welcome to use the garden, sit on the decked area and use the sun loungers. All linens and towels are included in the rental price.
Ideally located to visit many of the local attractions such as bluebell railway, Sheffield park gardens, groombridge place and of course all that Ashdown Forest has to offer including Pooh Bear. Plumpton & Lingfield racecourses are a short drive away as is the All England show Jumping Course at Hickstead. Brighton & London are within easy reach with excellent road/rail/bus links. Gatwick Airport is 25mins by car. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders are very welcome. Bring your horse on holiday too, the owners stables and grazing is just a mile away. Permits to ride on Ashdown Forest can be arranged for guests and your hosts have a detailed knowledge of the numerous local bridleways and footpaths.
Flexible arrival/departure times.
Secure alarmed garage storage for bikes/bicycles available, just ask when booking

Myself, my husband and my 2 year old stayed here and absolutely loved it! We booked the night before we were going to go on a whim and Helen was so accommodating which was amazing. The grounds are beautiful and the barn is a fantastic place to stay if you're looking to unwind! Will definitely be back - Thank you!

Short stay
Very good accommodation for a short stay in a lovely area. Some minor issues include tiny shower room with toilet under sloping roof of the stairs. Shower stopped working twice during use then started again with cold water. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

A perfect, cosy get away
My partner and I loved our stay at step cottage barn. We came for peace and quiet before the arrival of our baby and that’s exactly what we got. The barn is so cosy and relaxing. We had all the supplies we needed and the property managers were so easy to contact for anything else. We would definitely return for another escape from the city!

Autumn break in Danehill
owner was available to welcome us and show us round the property and garden and to help us find a beautiful and much needed walk after our long journey. Everything was just as stated in the information we had been given. Perhaps the guides and leaflets could do with a bit of an update but that didn’t really affect us as we had planned our own itinerary beforehand. A very enjoyable four days spent in a beautiful area of Sussex. Oh, and very importantly, the Barn was well equipped and very clean and tidy.
