This beautiful property, situated within the South Downs National Park, is perfect for you and your guests – including the waggy-tailed one! Sleeping four across two peaceful bedrooms, it’s a tranquil base for exploring both coast and countryside. Head to Brighton, just 8 miles away, or enjoy long dog walks through the Devil’s Dyke (2.5 miles), a stunning 100-metre deep valley located on the South Downs Way.
The barn, which is set within the grounds of a garden centre with farm shop and dog-friendly cafe (seating outside), is spacious and comfortable. Exposed beams and vaulted ceilings in the open-plan living area paired with rustic country-style furnishings and calming neutral decor makes it a tranquil place to relax at any time of day. Sit and eat breakfast at the dining table looking through the doors to the pretty garden, or sink into the sofas in the evening in front of the wood burner, your pup curled up by your feet. When it’s warm and sunny, sizzle up a BBQ in the garden while the hound runs around on the lawn with the children. And at bedtime, snuggle into bed among more exposed beams and soft lighting to lull you to sleep.
There is plenty to keep you busy in Brighton for a whole day, including the Royal Pavilion and the British Airways i360 viewing tower (if someone can keep the dog company!). You’ll find plenty of dog-friendly pubs and cafes to enjoy, or you can stroll around Preston Park (6.5 miles). Take a scenic ride on the Bluebell Railway (14 miles) or the Lavender Line (18 miles) where the whole family is welcome, or take a family walk around Chesworth Farm (19 miles) where you can see colourful wildflower displays and even walk through clouds of butterflies.
