About this cottage rental
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.

Even the tiny bathroom makes this beautiful barn cottage worth the trip and the stay. Helen and Andy are very thoughtful and caring hosts. Our flight was delayed and there was a warm welcome even late at night. We love to return any time possible.

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.

Relaxing
Nice property, easy to find. Lovely pub up the road. Few creepy crawlies and cobwebs but it's a barn and in the country. TV couldnt get rid of subtitles but not a problem. Clean tidy perfect for two night stay

Long weekend
Very enjoyable stay and ideal for visiting family locally.
The store cupboard should be checked for out of date items. Also should opened items be in the cupboard considering the current situation.
