Little Norlington Barn

2nd April 2024:

Excellent repeat stay at the milking parlour. Spotlessly clean as usual. Lovely homemade breakfast items are always a treat- even a vegan cake for me! Really loved the new linen bedding and the luxury toiletries in the bathrooms. We will be back I’m sure!

Would Recommend: Yes

18th March 2024:

My friend and I stayed at Little Norlington Barn for 3 nights whilst on a course in Lewes. It was spotlessly clean and cosy with good lighting and stylish interiors. The beds were also very comfortable and the bed linen and towels were of a high quality. Sandra and Miles were very welcoming and they sent a list of food and drink items to us before our visit so that we could tick what we would like for our stay. It was all either organic or homemade and the cake was absolutely delicious. Both bedroom windows had lovely countryside / garden views. The only slight negative is that the ceilings are very low in some places - this wasn't too bad for us because we are both quite short but if you are a tall person the barn wouldn't work for you. Apart from that I would definitely recommend.

Lewes which is approximately 20 minutes drive is a lovely town with interesting shops and architecture.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th March 2024:

A really lovely stay, would definitely like to come again. The place is dog friendly and has a large paddock for the dog to use, which is useful first thing in the morning. Sandra (lovely lady) was very accommodating as to our times of arrival and departure, which was handy. A great dog friendly find, thank you Sandra.

Sandra recommend The Cock Inn and The Pelham Arms. Both were close by, serving delicious food. The accommodation provided plenty of information as to walks etc, unfortunately we weren’t able to make full use of them as we were only staying for 2 nights.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th October 2023:

Once again we enjoyed our stay. Lovely seeing your 4 x Scottish Deerhounds doing their parade around your paddock morning & evening. Thank you also for suggesting visiting Seaford. We enjoyed sitting on the front, and walking Freddie along the esplanade. Best Wishes. Sue & Tony.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2023:

Excellent place to stay. We have been there both to go to Glyndebourne ( very convenient) or just to go walking in the area. The Milking Parlour is a very well equipped self contained apartment.

We ate at the Fork in Lewes last time we were at Little Norlington. Good food. Good service. quite small though so booking early is probably a good idea.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th August 2023:

Especially for Glyndebourne visitors it is perfect. We also enjoyed the quiet terrace.

One should not miss to drive to the National Trust monument Burling Gap and take a wonderful walk over the cliff to Beachy Head and back.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st August 2023:

Really enjoy staying at Little Norrington Barn, Sandra makes it feel like you are staying with friends

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2023:

Another wonderful stay at Little Norlington Barn. Everything about the Milking Parlour is superb and of the highest standard. Sandra and Miles are fantastic hosts and are so friendly and helpful. We cannot recommend the Milking Parlour highly enough.

The Milking Parlour is dog friendly and the surrounding area has so many dog friendly pubs and forests, gardens and beaches. It's great without a dog too!

Sandra is a wonderful host providing exceedingly comfortable accommodation and helpful tips on local eateries and attractions. Highly recommended.

Sandra provides a list of places to eat and visit. We followed her recommendations for a couple pubs and were very happy.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th February 2023:

Thank you, you were so kind and helpful :)

Would Recommend: Yes

7th November 2022:

You couldn’t have been more accommodating despite our very late notice booking. You were both super helpful in every aspect of our trip; recommending great walks that avoided the usual tourist options, suggesting a fantastic place for lunch, advising us how to avoid Lewes Bonfire night road closures just to name a few… It was a delight to meet you and stay at your wonderful property.

I’m afraid due to the flying visit of our trip we can’t really share that much but The Cricketers at Alfriston was a great spot for lunch… next time we plan to explore in much more detail!

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2022:

Sandra and Miles were very welcoming hosts who aimed to make our stay enjoyable in every way. The home-made goodies they left for us in the cottage were delicious. Our dogs had a lovely time too. Fields and a public foot path behind the house made it easy to exercise them.

Seven sisters walk beside the river to the sea was lovely. Also Sheffield Park with its beautiful trees is worth a visit but unfortunately the dogs have to be on a lead. Stanmer Park is great for dogs and humans to run about.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2022:

Returning visitors who love the place and the hosts and their Hounds. Will come again next year.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th August 2022:

Always feel very welcome. Beautiful setting and views. Peaceful location. Very easy to reach a variety of places of interest.

We really enjoyed visiting Tillingham Vineyard. The food was delicious. Seaford was an easy drive, very quiet for a beach walk.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th August 2022:

Thoughtful correspondence ahead of the stay. Welcoming arrival. Delicious home made produce is a special addition to the stay. Friendly hosts. A super location with lovely views of the Downs.

A place to relax. And a place from which to explore the county town of Lewes, local gardens (e.g. under the National Gardens Scheme) and local cricket grounds (e.g. in Ringmer and Glynde ).

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2022:

Beautifully situated near Ringmer with views over the South Downs. Very well appointed with an excellent welcome pack waiting to greet us.

Good meals at Bills and the Trading Post in Lewes. Visit Lewes, a charming town with castle, museum priory and Anne of Cleves House to explore.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th July 2022:

We have stayed several times at Little Norlington and will continue to go back. It is a beautiful location and has excellent facilities. Thoroughly recommended.

The Bull at Newick is a good place to eat. Very interesting and inventive food and a decent wine list. It is about 20-25 min drive from Little Norlington but well worth the trip. Good walking possibilities as well through Friston Forest and up on the downs/by the sea for those interested in such things.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2022:

This was a really relaxing and peaceful break in marvellous surroundings. The house was spotless and had everything we needed, including a welcome pack containing the best marmalade I've ever tasted! Sandra and Miles were the perfect hosts, friendly and helpful and able to give lots of ideas about places to go. The dogs were an added delight. We would highly recommend Little Norlington Barn and will definitely return. Thank you.

Pevensey Bay is a great beach to visit, especially if you have a dog. The views from Firle Beacon are spectacular and Lewes has lovely shops and an excellent bakery. Bring binoculars as there is a wealth of wildlife to see from the Milking Parlour.

We had a lovely stay. The Milking Parlour's facilities are excellent and very comfortable. Sandra and Miles are on hand to help in any way and are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. They were also extremely accommodating towards our rather enthusiastic dog. We both hope we can stay with them again before too long.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th April 2022:

I loved my 4 day stay in the Milking Parlour. It was warm, comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Breakfast on the sunny patio was a delight as were the surrounding rural views. In the peace and quiet and security of the property I could relax and sleep well. The whole experience was enhanced by the warm welcome from the owner, Sandra who was available unobtrusively next door and willing to give of her time generously as needed. I would definitely like to return.

Monk’s House, Rodmell if you are interested in things Bloomsbury! Note it’s only open on Weds and Thurs (at time of writing).

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd March 2022:

Very helpful host, and lovely hamper, particularly the granola and marmalade. Well equipped, and really good to have maps and leaflets. One of us struggled with the low bed and vaulted ceilings as he is recovering from a bad back. We found the bedroom without the bathroom easier. You did warn us!

Lovely local walks. Forks restaurant in Lewes. Middle Farm for great plants

Would Recommend: Yes

24th January 2022:

Sandra and Miles are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. They are there if you need them but totally on your own if you don't. Milking parlour is beautiful with everything you need and the little extras are there too - thank you.

This is such a great area to stay with so much to do. We walked for hours on the South Downs - just beautiful

Would Recommend: Yes

15th November 2021:

We loved our stay at the barn! The photos and reviews looked great, but frankly, actually being there exceeded all our expectations. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed was super comfortable, the power shower was excellent and the hosts were perfect (home-made baked goods, organic teas, and generally... hosts with the most). The location is idyllic, with views of the South Downs, quiet surroundings and a perfectly placed private patio. We really could not rate this stay enough, Sandra and Miles were just wonderful and have created a fantastic haven. Would definitely go again and will recommend anyone going to the area.

Nice local walks, although we drove to most places so not sure what is available within immediate access.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th October 2021:

Once more, we enjoyed our stay.Love the peace and quiet.It suits us perfectly. Best Wishes. Sue & Tony.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2021:

We have always enjoyed our stays in The Milking Parlour and continue to do so. Sandra and Miles are welcoming and warm hosts. The thoughtfulness of communication before arrival and during a stay are appreciated as are the home made and homely touches that distinguish holidays at The Milking Parlour. The care for the environment, mindfulness for home made produce and sustainability are very important ingredients.

Do refer to the Little Norlington Barn website for ideas of things to see and do. There are also an interesting selection of leaflets in The Milking Parlour. For our recent stay, we enjoyed sitting on the terrace watching the Autumn mist shooed away by the sun. It was a pleasure to read our books and appreciate the delicious freshly ground coffee left for us by Sandra!

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2021:

5 star accommodation beautiful place to stay a friendly and warm welcome from Sandra & miles Would recommend highly for anyone looking to stay in East Sussex will definitely be returning for another visit

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2021:

Really friendly, lovely owners. Nothing was too much trouble. Great advice in regards to interesting places to visit. Such a welcoming, clean barn. Looking forward to staying again.

The Suffolk Ox was really great for lunch. Would recommend visiting the Wilderness Woods, Friston Forest, NT Bateman's, NT Standen House and Garden. So many lovely places to visit close by!

Would Recommend: Yes

31st July 2021:

Peace, perfect peace, with help at hand if required.

There are so many places to explore in this part of the world and plenty of places to eat for all budgets locally in Lewes. We stayed during the heatwave, so most days we headed for the beach (Cooden was our favourite). Would recommend asking Sandra or Miles for their recommendations, they are very helpful.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2021:

This was a return visit and we found our stay even more delightful. Sandra had taken great pains in making us feel both welcome and safe. Having our own privaye deck and being able to sit and eat in the sunshine was so very nice.

Visits to The Fork in Lewes and to The Ram in Firle were very worthwhile.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th June 2021:

Everything about Norlington Barn is lovely: the view, the facilities, and the friendliness of Sandra and Miles ( and the dogs). Great location for visiting many and varied local attractions.

Lovely evening walk across the fields to the Pub

Would Recommend: Yes

28th May 2021:

Delightful accommodation with super facilities and lovely hosts.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st May 2021:

The Milking Parlour was our first trip away after Lockdown and it was a real tonic. Sandra made us most welcome. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well equipped.

The food at the Griffin restaurant in Fletching was superb. We visited National Trust gardens - Nymans, Sheffield Park and Standen. Sandra had printed off a variety of circular local walks which we explored.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th April 2021:

My wife, our dog and I had a brief but pleasant two night stay here. We spent time visiting nearby family but while at Little Norlington Barn enjoyed clean and pleasant sleeping, toilet, shower, lounge and kitchen facilities. I did manage to spend a little time in the sunshine reading on the patio deck. The adjacent small orchard and close-by secluded lane provided useful exercise for our dog.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th April 2021:

Fabulous place to stay in the countryside, fabulous views of the Downs yet ease to access great walks, local towns and the coast. Spotlessly clean and well maintained, Sandra the host is very attentive and friendly and provides those little touches that made our stay extra special. Perhaps not the best choice for tall guests as headroom upstairs is limited.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th October 2020:

We can’t emphasize enough how grateful and re-assured we were by all the care and attention you have given to making the Milking Parlour a lovely and safe place to stay during these difficult times.

Our walks across the downs around Firle and Wilmington were fantastic and recommended to everyone who likes to stride out in their walking boots !

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2020:

Outstanding place to stay, delivered 100% on what was described and Sandra was a most helpful host. Roomy, comfortable, great terrace that caught the sun and top location.

Try The Anchor Inn a riverside pub in Barcombe - great food and rowing boats available.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th August 2020:

Such a lovely location. Very easy to switch off and relax due to the peaceful environment. Very kind and helpful owners. We will definitely book again.

Had a fantastic picnic from the Rathfinny Estate. Easy access to visit the lovely Sheffield Park National Trust gardens and the Bluebell vineyard. Also, very close to the amazing town of Lewes.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2020:

We had booked Little Norlington very early in the year for two nights to go to Glyndebourne and to do some walking. When Covid struck, we decided not just to keep the booking ( even though Glyndebourne was cancelled) but to extend it by one day so that we could, if possible, leave London and do some walking in a great location. We are very glad we did this. We had a lovely time, were made very welcome and even managed to get some tickets for one of the Glyndebourne outdoor performances. A great experience at a difficult time. Much to be recommended.

We ate out twice at two local pubs, the Anchor Ringmer and the Cock Inn. Both good value, coping well with Covid, and close. Our only issue is that the portion size is very large for us but we may not be typical. Lots of good local walks. We went over to the reservoir and river Ouse one day. About 2-3km walking (each way) starting about 100 metres north of little Norlington on the left hand side of the road. Path a bit challenging to follow once over the A26. Also walked up onto the Downs from Glynde.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th August 2020:

Wonderful, peaceful stay here, spotless in and out. Sandra and Miles made us soooo welcome, we loved the area, lots of dog walks for our Roobi and gorgeous breakfast goodies, we would love to return. Thank you both so much, it was marvellous to have such beautiful weather too in such a great location. 2020 has been a difficult year for us all, but it truly was a real holiday for us.

Sandra will update you with any information you need.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2020:

Such a wonderful stay at Little Norlington Barn. Accommodation was fresh, well appointed and comfortable. The secluded porch proved to be an excellent sun trap. So many gardens and pubs within easy reach - it would take some time to exhause them all. A huge thank you to Sandra for all the care and effort she took.

2nd November 2019:

Well, what a find Little Norlington Barn was. We stayed there for 3 nights around attending Glyndebourne which is very close-by. Miles and Sandra who run the B&B, are absolutely amazing hosts and so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble, and the breakfasts were superb and included among other things, home-made muesli, fruit salad, spelt bread, croissants, and full English. Our room had our desired bath and was extremely comfortable, and very sympathetically and beautifully restored, as was the whole place, and a lot of it had been done by the hosts themselves. Miles and Sandra have two lovely wolfhounds that seemed to spend most of their time quietly asleep. The only disappointment was the weather, but that is England for you. We will be returning and would not hesitate to recommend LNB wholeheartedly.

There are several pubs close by that do evening meals. Also a fish and chip shop, Indian restaurant, Dominoes pizza etc in Ringmer, which is close by and walk-able if the weather is kind. There is also walking from the LNB, and in Ashdown forest, among other places,as well as, of course the Downs. Lewes is worth a visit as is Standen House and Garden (NT), but a bit of a drive. Charleston House is fairly close-by as well, and well worth visiting.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th October 2019:

The attention to detail was second to none. We loved the ambience of the breakfast room with its beautifully laid table and stunning views. Breakfast was made to order from start to finish with as much locally produced fare as possible and homemade spelt bread - yummy! Cosseted in peace and tranquillity we slept like logs. Sandra and Miles - hats off to you - you run an amazing establishment and the warmth you exude is very special. Keith and Julia

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd October 2019:

Our fourth visit to Little Norlington Barn says it all. We always book the Milking Parlour and enjoy breakfast brought to us by Sandra who is an excellent host. Everthing is just perfect.

The Cock Inn for eating and a visit to Sheffield Park is well worth a short drive.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2019:

We have now stayed at Little Norlington Barn twice on visits to Glyndebourne. The last time we also spent an extra day there to do some walking in the area ( which was excellent). The accommodation is very comfortable and of a high standard and we are always looked after very well. I would recommend Little Norlington to anyone wanting excellent accommodation in the area near Lewes. If you are going to Glyndebourne, the fact that it is very close by is another huge plus.

We visited Standen House and garden ( near East Grinstead) on the way back to London. As well as the house and garden, there is a cafe, car park and local walking possibilities. The house has some excellent Arts and Crafts related exhibitions and some good things to do for kids as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Very comfortable well appointed and cosy in The Milking Parlour. We really enjoyed our three night break to enjoy our 46th wedding anniversary. Sandra produced a lovely continental breakfast each morning.

Worthwhile booking into The Cock for a meal on your first night walking distance from Little Norlington Barn across the fields.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th May 2019:

We loved our stay here - a real home from home! The breakfasts were phenomenal - local organic produce, honey from the beehives next door, home-made bread and preserves.

Our second visit to this idyllic barn and the only negative is we wish we hadn't have left it almost 3.5 years since our first visit! Fantastic accommodation and hospitality from Sandra, including a wonderful breakfast spread, location is picture perfect and our doggies also loved it!

Lots to do in the area - we went to a fab local pub The Cock for a nice evening meal and then went to explore the Sussex coast.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th October 2018:

Nothing was too much trouble for Sandra and Miles. We were very spoilt and had a great stay in their beautiful home. Tips about local attractions and places to eat were invaluable and supplies of tea and cake were plentiful and very welcome. Great attention had obviously been paid to every aspect of our stay and was very much appreciated. Thank you both for your exceptional hospitality

Another great stay at Little Norlington. We were extremely well looked after by hosts Sandra and Miles, staying in the fully self-contained Milking Parlour with its own private decking area.

A real gem which we are delighted to find. We'll certainly be returning for another stay. We had such a warm welcome and everything was perfect - no criticisms at all.

We can't really comment on this fully as we were only there for a short stay. However, the point of our stay was to go to the opera at Glyndebourne and it is of course absolutely perfectly placed for that.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st August 2018:

The accommodation is very comfortable and clean. The barn conversion has been tastefully and carefully done. We were grateful for the opportunity to use the outdoor furniture and the beautiful, spacious living room. Sandra and Miles were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for Sandra. We felt that we were very well looked after indeed.

Sandra recommended the nearby Cock Inn for our evening meal, and we all enjoyed the food there. Brighton is easily accessible and the Royal Pavilion is well worth a visit. We spent a lovely morning at Sheffield Park, a National Trust garden, which is beautiful and has something to offer in every season, especially if you like trees and lakes.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2018:

It surpassed our expectations in everyday. Sandra and Mike were attentive, warm and couldn't do more for us during our stay! We loved our weekend away and felt very welcome at Little Norlington Barn, would certainly stay again!

We had a wonderful time staying in Sandra’s & Miles’s beautiful and unusual home.

The walk from little Norlington Barn across the fields to the Cock Inn is worth the journey. The location of little Norlington Barn is excellent for a short drive to Glyndebourne

Sandra and Miles are superb hosts: nothing is too much trouble. Our room was comfortable and spotless: the al fresco breakfasts were delicious.The Barn is perfect for a relaxing break, and for Glyndebourne devotees it's brilliantly situated. We will be back!

Lovely walks on the doorstep. If dining at The Cock leave the car behind and take the short walk across the fields! (Don't forget to be introduced to Orchy and Rora...)

Sandra was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us to a beautiful apartment which was spotlessly clean. She was very friendly and welcoming. We had a comfortable night (although we did bump our heads on the sloping ceiling a few times) and in the morning the most amazing breakfast was delivered (Sandra again) which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a pity we couldn't stay longer.

If you want to be treated like the Duchess of Sussex, stay here. Delicious, healthy, locally sourced and large breakfasts, ultra clean, beautifully renovated old Sussex barn with huge comfortable beds with luxury cotton sheets. Sandra looks after you brilliantly and generously shares use of her wonderful house.

Perfect for Glyndebourne, of course, or long walks on the Sussex downs, very quiet and restful location...

A real gem! Superb B&B in immaculate converted barn in beautiful Sussex countryside. Sandra and Miles, the proprietors, have attended to every detail to make a stay at Little Norlington Barn a joy. The bedrooms and facilities are to the highest standard - and breakfast delicious!

Perfect for Glyndebourne - and many other East Sussex attractions.

Would Recommend: Yes

My husband & I enjoyed a 4 night stay at Little Norlington Barn, and could not have been made more welcome. Sandra and Miles are excellent hosts, and go out of their way to ensure that every aspect of their clients' stay is enjoyable. The accommodation is spotless, the breakfasts are both hearty and healthy, and nothing is too much trouble. In short, Sandra and Miles have got customer service off to a fine art!

We used the location as a central base for touring a number of local attractions, including Sheffield Park (National Trust), Plumpton races, the Connaught Theatre at Worthing, Battle and Rye. Sandra had booked an evening meal for us at the Cock Horse (highly recommended), and had pre-booked a taxi for our trip to the races.

Little Norrington barn was flawless, and we loved staying there. Sandra was the perfect host, and it was a lovely experience. High standards without being stuffy. Perfect.

Perfect for Glyndebourne obviously, and it would be a wonderful base for a few days' walking holiday. With the sea not far away, it was noticeable how lovely the quality of the light is in the area. Little Norrington was rural and peaceful too. Made you want to reach for your paintbrush!

Thank you Sandra - we really enjoyed our stay. We were very grateful for your help whilst we were preparing for Glyndebourne. Breakfast was superb - and we were lucky to be able to eat outside both mornings. We will definitely come back if you'll have us!

The local pub (across the fields) did a great evening meal and good beer. Loved that there were maps for local runnng routes in the property information. The run back to Glyndebourne for the cars on Sunday morning was very enjoyable.

Would Recommend: Yes

Sandra looked after us again in her usual very friendly and efficient manner . Nothing is ever too much trouble. Having Sandra's continental breakfast on the patio of The Milking Parlour sets any day off wonderfully. Facilities and location excellent and very tranquil. Ideally located for Glyndebourne and Lewes and the South Downs. We will be back again next year .

Would Recommend: Yes

12th August 2017:

We were very happy with our stay. One minor point is that the blind in the bedroom doesn't block out the light so in the summer guests can be woken early. Maybe it would be possible to put a black out roller blind behind the Roman blind.

Would Recommend: Yes

We are going to look into a blackout blind for next season. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Sandra

If there is a better place to stay than Little Norlington Barn I have yet to find it. Our welcome from Sandra and Miles was excellent, we were shown around the entire property and all the facilities were explained. A welcome cup of tea and cake were much appreciated after a long journey. We stayed in 'The Milking Parlour' a self contained converted barn building which was spotlessly clean, bright and very comfortable. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable lounge. The shower room is downstairs and has a good powerful walk in shower and good quality towels and toiletries. The attic style bedroom is large, has a comfortable double bed and fabulous views over the countryside. The area itself is very quiet, little or no traffic, a haven of peace and tranquility. Sandra and Miles could not have been more helpful with directions, local maps and recommendations for places to visit. A fantastic place to stay.

We stayed here as it was close to Glyndbourne where we were visiting the opera. Glyndbourne is literally 10 minutes drive away. The location is also good for Seaford, Lewes and the Channel coast.

A friendly welcome from Sandra with tea (herbal tea for one of us) and delicious home made lemon drizzle cake.Peaceful country setting and ideally placed for Glyndebourne. We stayed in the Kicking Horse Suite-immaculate- with separate but very close bathroom and it's own staircase to suite so quite private- and with sittingroom with good views. Breakfast, in the dining room with other guests at a large table, was great-fresh berries,home made granola, yoghurt etc fruit juice, then choice of cooked breakfasts with croissants, toast etc. We saw the Stag Room which has an en suite after the other guests left which was equally attractive but different with sofa in the bedroom and king-size rather than double bed. We will definitely try to book next year as it was the best place we have found having tried a number of others over the years.

Sandra will advise on this

We stayed here for the Love Supreme 2017 jazz festival weekend at Glynde Place. It is just eight minutes drive away. Glyndebourne is even closer so it is an ideal location for these events. We loved it so much that we stayed on a couple of extra nights and used it as a base to explore the area. If there was ever a place for which five stars is not enough this is it. We stayed in the Stag Room which was not cheap at £150 per night, but we felt it was worth paying. Sandra and Miles actually let out two of the rooms in their luxurious converted barn and also a detached milking parlour. Whilst guests are in residence they live mainly in an annex at the rear. The location is rural, down a quiet lane, and there is plenty of parking space at the front. On arrival we were welcomed by Sandra with coffee and homemade cake. Throughout she made us feel at home and nothing was too much trouble. Every little thing had been thought of and we wanted for nothing. The breakfast was to die for. There was a choice of full English and salmon and scrambled egg for the main event. Everything was homemade (e.g. spelt bread, marmalade, granola) or organic and mostly locally sourced (e.g. bacon, sausages, eggs and even the coffee). There was yoghurt, fruit (e.g. strawberries, kiwi, mango, pineapple, cherries, raspberries, blueberries) and croissants. I've probably forgotten something! The room had a very comfortable double bed and sofa, Smart TV, bathroom with luxurious furnishings, sheets and towels etc. In the evening there are some excellent eating places locally in Lewes, Ringmer and nearby villages. Due to the location you really need to drive though. The nearest pub is about 20 minutes walk away. Sandra will be able to recommend. The quality was everywhere and it won't surprise you to know that we have our tickets for Love Supreme 2018 already and have booked to stay here again next year.

Would Recommend: Yes

Really welcoming, friendly and very well organised. The dogs are delightful! The building is full of character also. Brilliant breakfasts with luscious fruit and homemade bread.

Handy for Glyndebourne ( our reason to be there ) Aqua restaurant in Lewes excellent value. Animal rescue centre nearby a good visit especially for youngsters. Nice walks starting from the house... we would take walking boots next time.
