Myself, my husband and my 2 year old stayed here and absolutely loved it! We booked the night before we were going to go on a whim and Helen was so accommodating which was amazing. The grounds are beautiful and the barn is a fantastic place to stay if you're looking to unwind! Will definitely be back - Thank you!

Short stay
Very good accommodation for a short stay in a lovely area. Some minor issues include tiny shower room with toilet under sloping roof of the stairs. Shower stopped working twice during use then started again with cold water. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

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.
