Relaxing stay in beautiful location thanks to our superb host

Mill Barn was simply perfect for our extended weekend break. Penny was such an attentive and communicative host who went out of her way before, on arrival and during our stay to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We were so grateful for the thoughtful touches (fire ready to light, welcome basket of goodies and later check out) which really made us feel very welcome and ‘at home’.

Holiday perfection

What can I say that reflects how wonderful our stay was at Mill Barn ! Except perfection. Great location, so well equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. Spotlessly clean. Welcome touches such as fresh flowers, biscuits, wine etc. Best holiday cottage I have stayed at and I have stayed at a lot !

A great little find.

Fantastic place to stay with a very warm welcome from Penny. The welcome basket and the condition of the cottage was great, in fact one of the best we have stayed in. Location great for walks on the common and meeting the ponies who regularly paid us a visit was a joy. Location was nice and quite and with the comfort of the cottage itself, what more could you want. Hoping to return as soon as we can sort something out.

Wonderful cottage

This beautiful cottage is outstanding in every way, each room has its own personality and warmth, from coming in the gate to the front door and beyond. Great for snuggling up by the fire after a long soak in the beautiful bathroom after a long walk or shopping.

A delightful cottage stay

This was our second stay at Mill Barn. Owner, Penny, goes a step beyond in making sure that the cottage is in pristine condition when you arrive. The place is immaculately clean. Fresh flowers adorn every room. A lovely hamper filled with goodies is an added luxury. Everything works as it should. Location wise, this is perfect. Near enough to travel to Lewes or Haywards Heath (and beyond) but far enough away to enjoy total quiet - we loved just walking on the heathland surrounding us . The garden was a wonderful retreat too. This is a perfect place for romance and a perfect place for rest and quiet. Personal circumstances meant that I needed the latter this year. The cottage haven was exactly what was needed.

second time visiting; hoping for a third

we never usually go back to a holiday venue, but this is the second time we've stayed at Mill Barn, and it's really becoming a peaceful home away from home. the place is fantastic, very well appointed throughout, wth a superb bathroom, nice kitchen, and very relaxing lounge area. owner Penny could not be more accommodating and helpful, and really makes you feel so welcome, both in person and with her welcome pack. it's pleasantly independent of any nearby buildings, and over the private garden wall is hundreds of hectares of forest for walks and exploration. and if you like pheasants, rabbits, or owls, the nearby woods have many. my only concern is leaving this review may help more people discover Mill Barn and limit our own chances of returning again! {:-)

Beautiful!

My husband and I could have chosen so many places to stay on our recent trip to the UK…long and the short of it, we chose Mill Barn and are so glad we did! An absolutely stunning property, well taken care of by its owner. We received a very warm welcome after our flight from Toronto…after it being an overnight which was 4 hrs late departing. I was able to contact Penny with ease from the airport to update her, her reply was almost instant and reassuring that it would be all ready for us to rest. The setting of the cottage it unbelievable and sooo very quiet. All amenities are up to date, much better than you would even expect. If you are thinking of a stay at Mill Barn please, do not hesitate…thank you Penny for such a wonderful stay!

Charming cottage

Home away from home. This cottage is equipped with everything you would need. Attention to detail in all spaces. Lovely area for walks and hikes. Close to shopping. Great hosts. Parking is right outside your cottage. Bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. Comfortable bed and extra large bath.

An excellently presented property.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable seven day stay in this excellently presented property. Everything was of a very high standard.. It was ideally suited for two people. It was in a delightful setting, away from the main road and very quiet but not isolated. We would have no hesitation in returning.

A wonderful relaxing week

We’ve enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing week at beautiful Mill Barn (our second visit). Yet again Penny has thought of everything to ensure a memorable stay. The generous welcome basket and fresh flowers were perfect! Enjoyed some great walks on the South Downs Way from Ditchling Beacon and a couple of relaxing days out at Nymans and Sheffield Park. Returning to the beautiful garden at Mill Barn afterwards just completed the perfect day.

Mill Barn is the most stunningly beautiful place to stay

Mill Barn is the most stunningly beautiful place to stay. The location is just idyllic, with the sound of birdsong and we loved watching the rabbits playing... Surrounded by bluebells and gorgeous countryside, I cannot think of a better place to escape to – it has a truly magical feel. As for Mill Barn itself we just love it. The attention to detail, the calming decor, fresh flowers and herbs, basket of treats... Thank you Penny, we didn’t want to leave!

Our second stay...

Our second stay at Mill Barn and it has been just perfect, again! It is a real ‘home from home’ thanks to Penny’s hospitality and attention to making any stay here very special. It has been lovely to come in the autumn (last visit was in the summer) and enjoy the cosiness of evenings by the fire. Also, the walks on the Common and the autumnal colours have been wonderful. There is lots to see and visit in the area, Sheffield Park, Hever Castle, Charleston and lots more. We’ve loved it all! Thank you Penny.
