- Yvette, July 2023: This was our second stay and I hope we’ll stay again. It’s perfect for Glyndebourne and easy to get to Gatwick. Toby and Michael could not be more welcoming and helpful hosts. The whole place is immaculate, very peaceful and finished to a very high standard. There is also beautiful woodland very close by which is perfect for walking and running. This stay retains my highest recommendation.
- Charlotte, May 2023: Our stay at the barn was so peaceful and relaxing, the perfect spot for a tranquil break. Michael and Toby have thought of every little detail from multiple outside seating options to dimmable lights, drinks in the fridge and a gorgeous diffuser which gave a lovely scent to the whole place as soon as we walked in! It’s set in a private location but just a few minutes drive to local shops and pubs. Really couldn’t fault it at all, we are already discussing coming back!
