These three characterful, renovated barns on a working farm make an ideal, spacious stay for large families or groups who can holiday together and maintain privacy in separate properties. Located in a secluded valley in Beckley, Sussex, you’ll be surrounded by countryside to admire and explore. Carve out time for a boat trip on the River Rother from Bodiam boating station (14.5 miles) and see Bodiam Castle while you’re there. Fancy a seaside trip? Camber Sands (11 miles) is a sandy beach with dunes and good conditions for windsurfing and kite-surfings. Or you can visit Rye (7.5 miles), a historic, picturesque town packed with atmospheric pubs, quirky shops and a nature reserve.
The first of these three properties - a pet-friendly, one-level, six-sleeper - has a rustic open-plan living space with oak flooring, a vaulted, beamed ceiling and wrought iron chandeliers. The sitting room is classic and cosy, with plenty of seating surrounding the wood burner, TV and sliding doors that lead to the view-offering garden. There’s a dining area with a large table, chairs and a bench seat, while the kitchen sits just beside it, offering modern units and tiling that pleasantly contrast the area’s traditional feel. There are a second set of sliding doors here too, again leading to the garden. Pass through the hallway to find a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two twin bedrooms, a cloakroom with a WC and a shower room with a large, walk-in shower. The second property - a pet-friendly, four-sleeper - has traditional and stylish features and decor. The open-plan living space is a bright, social area thanks to vaulted ceilings, skylights and glass doors that open to the garden terrace. The kitchen and dining area are rustic-chic, featuring wall tiles and painted wood dining furniture for four, while the sitting room is cosy with its white wood burner, stylish sofas and TV for entertainment. The one-level barn conversion also has a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, both benefiting from en-suite shower rooms. Finally, the third and final house - a one-level, four-sleeper that doesn’t accept pets - also has a delightful open-plan living area with a vaulted, beamed ceiling, skylights and sliding doors leading to the garden. Painted units, wall tiles and the four-seater round table make the kitchen and dining area chic and charming. The sitting area feels separate thanks to its focus on cosy decor: carpets, two plump sofas, a wood burner and a TV. The property is complete with a double and a twin bedroom, both of which boast en-suite shower rooms.
Each of the three properties has its own private outdoor space. The first, six-sleeper stay has a rear, fully-enclosed garden with a lawned area and a paved terrace boasting a round dining table, chairs, a parasol, a fire pit, and countryside views. The other two properties have non-enclosed front gardens with sloping lawns and patio areas featuring a dining table, four chairs, a parasol and a fire pit. Families and groups can come together on the communal lawn area, where you'll find a picnic bench and a fenced paddock for your dogs.
