Once an outbuilding of the original farmhouse on site, this charming barn has been lovingly redesigned into a family-friendly holiday retreat where two dogs can come along for the ride. Enjoy exploring the Sussex coast and countryside before resting in the characterful home.

Enter through the stable door into the wonderful, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which sits beneath a beamed ceiling and warmed by the wood burner in the inglenook fireplace. Create hearty breakfasts, prepare picnics, and rustle up delicious dinners in the practical kitchen and enjoy eating together at the large dining table. When you are ready to let sleeping dogs lie, head through to the bedrooms and choose from a characterful double or a welcoming twin bedroom. The contemporary shower room completes the interior of the accommodation. Outside, to the front of the property is a fully enclosed garden where the children and dogs can play on the lawn, and to the rear, a patio area with outdoor furniture awaits. Private parking is available for one car.

Grab a bite to eat at one of the dog-friendly pubs and cafes in the quaint villages of Ashburnham and Dallington (1 mile), or head into the seaside town of Hastings (13.5 miles). Spend days enjoying the shores and nature reserves at the pretty resort of Pevensey Bay (9 miles), where dogs are welcome with open paws. The ruins and gardens at Bodiam Castle (13 miles) are fantastic for history lovers.
