Light airy studio conversion

Situated on 10 acres of private farm, this first floor loft is the perfect rural hideaway. The building is a 500 year old stone barn, newly converted to a bright airy modern interior studio. Just next door is the farmhouse where the owner lives and is on hand with directions and information.
There are steps up to the front door, this is a bright open plan space for up to two people. This new quality conversion provides a king sized double bed, TV and DVD player, sofa, dining area and a full kitchen with hob, oven, fridge and microwave. The shower room is enclosed with heated towel rail, corner shower, loo and basin. The Hayloft is fully heated in winter and ventilated with two double windows in summer.
Outside there is a beautiful garden of 3 acres with a table, chairs and barbecue.
All linen and towels are provided as well as tea and coffee.
Please note that the steps up to the Hayloft are steep and in the winter can be slippery even though there are double handrails to help with safety.
The local pub is a 35 minute walk on the footpath and welcomes dogs in the garden. The South Downs are close by and provide the walker with miles of uninterrupted views right to the sea. Petworth House, a National Trust property with many beautiful works of art, is 30 minutes to the west. Parham House, an Elizabethan house near the South Downs is 15 minutes to the south. The nearest beach is just 10 miles away. London can be accessed by Billingshurst station just 5 miles away. The journey is just 1 hour into Victoria Station.
We welcome one well behaved dog to share your visit.

A lovely place for R&R
This studio apartment was a lovely place to stay. We received a very warm welcome from the host and a prompt solution to the one small issue that occurred during our stay. The description of the property we felt was accurate, we had noted the fairly steep outside steps to the front door. Also to note, due to the rural location of the apartment we didn’t have mobile reception via our networks but could use the WiFi network (with WhatsApp) to communicate. The small kitchen area is well designed and had all the appliances and apparatus we needed. The owner provided us with access to a freezer if needed. We would happily stay again.

Nice property and friendly owner but perhaps a little attention to decor and kitchen utensils would be a good idea. (ie picture hook with no picture, masking tape on beam etc)

A great base to explore Knepp and the South Downs
The property (studio Apartment) felt larger and more comfortable than I had expected. We had everything we needed, and felt welcome and relaxed. Alison was a great host, accommodating my folk music playing spouse's practicing, and giving us information about visiting Knepp at dawn. When the unseasonably warm weather got hotter she brought us a fan and when we were going to an outdoor theatre production, generously loaned us banana lounges. The main purpose of our travelling to this area was to visit Knepp, but the whole week was really enjoyable, in large part because we were staying at Laybrook Farm. A highly recommended base for exploring this area.

Old Stables, Laybrook Farmhouse, Pulborough
Upstairs flat, comfortable with everything I needed as a single person. The owner Alison was friendly and accessible and my guinea pig was made welcome. Ample and convenient parking but the property wouldn't suit anyone with mobility issues. Information about the local area, facilities, WiFi, etc. was readily available. Close to lovely countryside, RSPB, National Trust, Kew, etc., also local footpaths for an evening walk.

Dissapointing
I am very sorry to have to leave this review but I have to be truthful for future guests. There were cobwebs in the window and after dropping my glasses down the back of the bedside table I found dead wasps which had obviously been there a while as they were covered in fluff and cobwebs! There was a dreadful smell in the room at night (only) which seemed to be coming from behind the bed. There was a dirty brown mark on the door frame of the bathroom which wasn't pleasant. The worktops in the kitchen were sticky. Tea and coffee provided, in the pot there were 3 teabags, 1 for each day we were there maybe? The jar of coffee when tipped up to get some out stayed where it was! In these uncertain times when I read that the room was cleaned after every guest and sealed I was reassured. In truth there wasn't even a hand sanitiser in the room. I didn't report my findings to the host as to my mind the place should of been cleaned before we got there, not half way through our stay. On the plus side the bed sheets were clean.

Lovely cosy, comfortable & welcoming property, that had pretty much everything we needed for our stay and was full of character. There were a few minor cleaning issues which we were able to take up directly with the onsite owner who was very friendly & approachable.

Great Base for discovering West Sussex
Alison welcomed us when we arrived and took time to explain the loft entry system, which was appreciated. There was a folder about the accommodation and surroundings which is so helpful. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen equipment was more than adequate to make a fabulous English Breakfast. Ideal base for West Sussex coastal resorts and inland villages and towns.
