About this house rental
Stunning 6 bedroom converted barn nestled in Souths Downs, Sussex
Nestled within the South Downs National Park in West Sussex, this stunning 6-bedroom/ 3 living room/ 2 full kitchen, 5,000+ sq ft converted barn provides an idyllic countryside retreat. The three connected barn living areas exude a mix of character and luxury, with beautiful oak beamed vaulted ceilings and exposed brick throughout. Beyond its abundance of quirky bedrooms, the Barns have two fully equipped kitchens and eating areas, a pub-setting bar stool seating area, three separate spacious living and entertainment areas, a games room, five beautifully presented bathrooms and an outdoor hot tub.
Totalling around nine acres of land, The Barns’ grounds offer a variety of outdoor seating areas within two distinct garden areas, including a beautifully landscaped floodlit Tuscan-style walled garden and separate outdoor lounge area with a hot tub overlooking the woodland and paddock.
The layout of the three Barns is in an L-shape around the walled garden. The Big Barn and Snug Barn are connected by a beautiful archway door with steps. The layout makes an ideal set-up for larger families or groups of friends staying together, providing a balance of shared and private space. Guests can choose to create more privacy between the Barns, all of which can be accessed through their own internal entrances. The Annex Barn is connected via an overhead covered outdoor archway a few steps away from the Snug Barn.
While hidden away in the countryside, The Barns is conveniently located just a mile outside of the village of Storrington, which offers a range of convenient amenities including a variety of pubs and eateries, bakers, butchers, and a local Waitrose that offers a delivery service.
The rural location is a hiker’s delight with numerous walking destinations close to the South Downs Way, as well as being close to some of Sussex’s prettiest beaches and a number of historic sites. Horse riding, cycling, sailing options are available close by.
To note: we are not able to accommodate events or weddings.
Amberley is approximately 3 miles away; Horsham 16 miles; London Victoria/ London Bridge approx. 50 mins by train; Brighton 19 miles; Gatwick airport 57 miles.

The house has everything you could ask for… very well equipped kitchen/s, enormous dining table which made Christmas Day special, gorgeous grounds, plenty of games to keep the kids happy…

What can I say that hasn’t already been said in all of these 5 star reviews. The property is fantastic even in cold rainy October. We spent more time in the snug barn than we expected because it is so cozy. Vicky was fantastic in her communication, answering my way-too-many questions so kindly and thoroughly. Thank you Vicky!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything about our experience of the barns was exceptional. From the pre-arrival communication to the moment we checked out, we couldn’t have felt happier or been looked after better. The photos don’t do it justice, it truly took our breath away. Worth every penny.

I didn't think it would be possible but the property is even more impressive than the photos show. We were a group of 11 friends staying for a long weekend. It's the most well-equipped property I've ever stayed at - there are two kitchens, making meal times for a large group really easy to manage, two living rooms, and of course lots of outside space. Everything felt so clean and new, and Vicky was great with communication from check-in until check-out. We'll definitely be back for another stay!

Spent an amazing 2 weeks at this property and it was hard to leave! The property is beautiful, both inside and out, and is set in a quiet, idyllic location, with views of the Downs. It is very spacious with high-end finishes throughout and extremely well equipped - everything has been thought of, to provide the perfect stay for guests. We enjoyed many al fresco meals in the beautifully landscaped courtyard garden. From the initial booking, communications with Vicky and Emma were excellent. I would highly recommend this property; it far exceeded my expectations. Hoping to return on our future trips to the U.K.

The pictures and description of this property on the web site do not do it justice. This is lovely holiday accommodation which I would recommend for a maybe acouple of families wanting to spend some luxury time together. The family areas are spacious and facilities very good. Bedrooms are lovely with comfortable beds and ensuite bathrooms. Gardens are beautiful with the added advantages of various seating areas, BBQ games room and Hot Tub. Perfect getaway.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Barns.
It was the perfect location, layout and setting for our celebration with friends and family.
Being designers, we very much appreciated the architecture, beautiful interior, magnificent garden and attention to detail in the property.
Having two great kitchens, living spaces open to the garden, plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and activities, including a hot tub, ping pong table and games room, the house was a perfect for our group and worked extremely well.
On arrival we found the house beautifully clean, tidy, extremely well organised and well stocked for large groups and we received a very warm welcome.
The property manager was excellent and very helpful throughout the booking, responding quickly to any questions and went out of her way to make us feel welcome.
We look forward to coming again and would recommend this property very highly for any group gathering looking for style, luxury and a relaxing get away!

These barns are really special, we stayed over our wedding weekend with our families and it was fantastic. There is everything you need and the gardens in particular are beautiful - everyone of us who stayed said we wished we owned it!

We chose this property on the basis of the description, the photos and all the glowing reviews, but the reality on arrival far exceeded our very high expectations - it really did have that WOW factor in every area and room as we explored!
It is beautifully styled, furnished and equipped to an incredibly high standard.All the facilities were outstanding, the hot tub on a sparkly frosty evening was quite magical, and the games room provided extra fun.
We were there with three generations of our family to celebrate both a 70th and a 1st birthday, and all ages had the most wonderful and memorable weekend. We couldn’t possibly have chosen anywhere better.It is a simply stunning property in a wonderful location, and we would love to return.

- High quality and really thoughtfully furnished, from the well equipped kitchens to the garden furniture and umbrellas.
- Clean, spacious, and very comfortable throughout.
- Thoughtful and accommodating hosts, who communicated brilliantly before, throughout and after our stay. Including being really responsive and helpful when I had an issue.

Stunning house, stunning garden, very well equipped, 5*
We recently returned to from a long weekend at this property - I really wish we could have stayed longer. What a stunning place, it really has everything. Lots of space for all us to spread out, find a quiet place with a book, lovely big tables for jolly meals with friends, stunning views from the hot tub at sunset, top quality bedding / kitchen equipment / BBQ etc. A lot of love has gone into this place.
Great comms with the owners. 10/10 would fully recommend.

Fabulous Farmhouse
We had the most wonderful stay at this property. We enjoyed a visit to Arundel Castle, walked some of the South Downs way, and went to Littlehampton Beach. Vicky also helped us book in two therapists to come to the property for some massages, which were the best we have ever had. The property had a fully equipped kitchen and huge bbq. The courtyard was also perfect for an Easter egg hunt with my children.

Great comms with the hosts and would certainly stay again.
