This was a big family get together with our children and grand children.It was an amazing holiday, the Barn was incredible massive lounge and kitchen area which we used to play family games on an evening. Having a bar installed also meant we could gather around and have a few drinks after the kids went to bed. Small football pitch out the back, garden games in the pig pen and with 3 granddaughters there had to be a Wendy house which they loved. Jacuzzi situated outside was again fabulous.The surroundings were amazing and so quiet. Everything you needed for a self catering holiday was available, clean and working.I could go on and on so suffice to say this holiday meant a lot to us, it’s not very often we get the whole family to together all 13 of us so it had to be perfect and YES it was.Thank you so much.Garry & Carole GloverWest Sussex.

My family of 8 adults,1 toddler, 3 babies and 2 dogs stayed in this beautiful barn conversion for a week in June. It is so big and spacious we had room to spread out and didn't get on top of each other at all and with the high ceilings the noise wasn't a problem at all!The facilities are really good and the kitchen is very well equipped. The location is really good, near to pubs and shops and not too far to wonderful beaches.

We had a wonderful stay at the haybarn. Eight adults four children and two dogs. No one was disappointed with the facilities. The children loved the play areas Wendy house table tennis football etc and the added attraction of a hot tub for the adults. The woods beyond the house enabled us to walk the two dogs daily with ease. We will certainly be back to enjoy this lovely holiday let in the future
