Guest Reviews
- Harriet (8/5): Peaceful, convenient, comfortable. - The location was perfect for what we wanted to do. The property was simple but attractive and comfortable.
We made our own breakfast but that was fine and expected. Can't think of anything we didn't like!
- jayne (9/5): Beautiful - Beautiful surroundings Bit light in the lounge for sleeping but it didn't upset the person sleeping in the lounge!
- Eliza (10/5): -
- Samantha (10/5): Wonderful, a real gem! - Everything! Could not fault it.
- Adrian (10/5): - Excellent property in an excellent location.
- Angela (10/5): Perfect stay in the South Downs - This was such a lovely welcoming home from home, amazing facilities and comfort, welcome milk in the fridge on arrival and such a quiet and relaxing spot.
I will be returning and staying for longer. It was wonderful. Thank you so much
- Quinton (10/5): Peaceful Farm Setting with Luxury Finish - Beautiful and peaceful farm setting with birds and animals in the morning

* Exceptionally clean and well maintained
* High-end, luxury feel with beautiful furniture
* Lots of windows and natural light
* Spacious and comfortable throughout
* Great location — feels remote but still close to everything Nothing to fault — everything was excellent
- place (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable, absolutely brilliant for a getaway and highly recommend N/A
- Jeanette (10/5): Super countryside accommodation - A lovely accommodation in the Sussex countryside. Spotlessly clean and fresh with everything provided for a weekend stay.
Brilliant host, quick to answer any questions.
We really enjoyed our visit!
- Howard (10/5): Light modern 1 bed apartment in a delightful rural setting - Really nice space - light and modern, but in a delightful rural setting on a farm. Great use of space. Nice lounge area, well equipped little kitchen. I was just staying a night - but it would be a great base for a longer stay. Nothing I didn’t like - but as the pictures clearly show, it’s in a roof space. I’m a little over six feet tall - so I had to take care not to bang my head. Managed it without too much difficulty!
- Hsing-Chiung (10/5): -
- Emily (9/5): Perfect escape - Great and beautiful location, really comfortable accommodation and has everything you need N/a
- Kevin (3/5): Personally I'd never stay there again - Decent bathroom and bed Washing machine directly below accommodation was very disturbing, initially sounding like the space shuttke at take off. I complained about the noise only to then find myself on the receiving end of a lecture about it being a working farm, which was offensive and completely irrelevant. If you offer holiday rentals then the parameters for quality are the same as for everywhere else - if it sounds like a laundrette then that's unacceptable.
Unfortunately that wasn't the only issue. I have stayed in so many places on booking.com and the price, £120/night, was veey expensive indeed, the property being more in line with £70-80/night accommodation.
The seating was very cheap and uncomfortable, there were no curtains anywhere in the premises. The bedroom had some sucker- backed fabric in the chest of drawers which was described as "blackout curtains", which would not cover the whole window (see photos) and were absolutely pathetic for keeping light out
The accommodation was cold on arrival, despite a message from the host before I arrived saying that they had put it on fir ne, and it didn't reach a satisfactory temperature for a further 5 hours after my arrival.
Basically it was very expensive for what it was, and it was much worse than significantly cheaper alternatives
Update based upon owners response - the owner is clearly trying to discredit me. Can't blame her for trying, but just to be clear, I'm at Genius Level 3 and have run my own holiday let for 15 years with over 400 reviews averaging 4.92/5. She told me rudely that the washing machine would be on all day and if I didn't like it perhaps I should just leave, so if she calls that offering me a refund then perhaps she did. I probably did make a bad job of putting the "curtains" up, but this just shows that it's not obvious how to do it and if they just provided curtains then guests wouldn't have to struggle with the process
- Claire (9/5): Great apartment for a country getaway. - Clean, comfy, well designed and decorated. Everything you need is available . Welcoming and friendly hosts.
- Rich (10/5): I loved this apartment, it was perfect for me, quiet, secluded and provided a sanctuary after a really busy business day - Beautifully quiet and secluded Nothing to report here.. it was perfect!
- carlee (8/5): - Wonderful area. Lots of extras included such as coffee and toiletries. It feels like a little bit of magic Nothing
- Harley (10/5): -
- Desigan (8/5): Comfortable, peaceful, clean & great location to explore Lewes, Brighton & the countryside! - Great place near Lewes, stayed with our 2 children and we were very comfortable. Milk/coffee/tea/water and sweets were waiting for us & even a little Christmas tree! Thank you! There is no separate bedroom, just a separate space, all one room.

- robyn (10/5): -
- Victoria (9/5): Beautiful rural location, very clean and new - Very clean, lovely location Difficult for four people to eat together but we managed
- John (10/5): - Comfortable, spacious, lovely view
- Steve (10/5): Very relaxing - the location is close to a working farm and truly rural. With easy routes to Lewis, Brighton and Glyndbourne. Not really a negative, but choosing the right turning for the last few hundred yards is a challenge - particularly in the dark. But if you follow the detailed instructions from the host you will not have any problems getting to the right location.
- Sue (10/5): Highly recommended! - Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay here. A super retreat. Beautifully appointed and very helpful, communicative owner. Glyndebourne very close and a lovely pub in the village.
- Janis (10/5): -
- Nick (10/5): Wonderful stay, warm welcome and a stunning location in the South Downs. -
- Kerry (10/5): Stay there if you get a chance. - The host. She was not only friendly and helpful, she was informative. She’s created a terrific space.
- Michaela (10/5): Modern, beautiful apartments
overlooking farmland with views. Great hosts - Wow, modern, clean and cosy with beautiful views. Spacious apartment. Attention to detail was brilliant. The place smelt amazing too! Nespresso coffee machine with pods, fresh milk and water. We decided to stay in and order Uber eats, even in this secluded location. Peaceful location with the odd Cockerel crowing! Goats on the field were roaming around..Huge sofa bed. Everything was of high quality. Friendly and welcoming hosts live in adjacent house. We loved it. Steep metal stairs so would not suit all. Highly recommended 😀 Nothing.
- Sally (10/5): Stayed 1night for a local wedding simply perfect - Set in gorgeous countryside with beautiful views
Very stylish converted barn

- David (10/5): Exceptional apartment in every way, great value for money - Everything! Beautifully renovated, well appointed and equipped to a high standard. Delightful hosts, lovely country location and very good value. Nothing!
- Claire (8/5): Peaceful location leading leading to a great night’s sleep in clean facilities. - Peaceful location and extremely clean. Waking up to chickens, goats and lovely scenery. Good value for money too. The bedroom and lounge is open plan which wasn’t what we were expecting. Can create privacy issues if also using the sofa bed.
- John (10/5): -
- paul (10/5): beautiful tranquil relaxing stunning views - beautiful conversion set in idyllic country side location , everything you could want provided by extremly friendly hosts who live on site, would 100% stay here again nothing to complain about
- Lynne (10/5): Idyllic location, comfortable and quiet. - The location was excellent, tucked away down a country lane in a quiet, secluded spot overlooking fields. The property was stylishly furnished to a very high standard. It was clean and tidy and very comfortable. I highly recommend this property Although the satnav took us to the appropriate location, there were no signs to show the name of the property.
- Bob (10/5): Lovely one bed apartment in a great, quiet location. - Jess was very quick to respond to all my questions and was there to meet us. The property was very well equiped and very clean in a great location. We awooke to lovely views of the South Downs.
- Joan (10/5): We will be back 😄😄 - Beautiful apartment everything you need It’s perfect
- Alan (10/5): Very comfortable stay in a beautiful location. - Comfortable and clean apartment in a beautiful and quiet location. Very handy for Glyndebourne Opera which we visited to see a family member performing. Nothing.
- David (10/5): Very comfortable, well designed, clean studio in a fine rural setting, perfect for our short stay. - Well designed studio appartment, easy to settle into and comfortable for our stay. Clean and uncluttered but well equipped with everything we needed. We found the black-out blinds in the bedroom worked well - these may be a new addition as some previous reviews have mentioned being woken by the daylight in the early mornings. No issues.
- Julian (10/5): Doeling - An immaculate, light spacious apartment. Tastefully decorated in a lovely rural area with beautiful views over the fields. Very close to Glyndebourne. Would love to come back. It may be worth asking the charming hostess for what3words. In short .. it doesn't come any better
- Marta (8/5): We loved it staying in this property as the place is beautiful and peaceful . The flat was very clean and it didn’t lack - The location is beautiful; the house is surrounded by open fields and it is adjacent to a farm with some goats chicken etc. it is very peaceful . The flat was immaculate. The hosts were friendly and helpful
- Anna (10/5): Peaceful stay - This is a lovely apartment. It is comfortable and clean and we found everything we needed. The views are stunning. It was quiet and peaceful. Nothing
- Stephen (8/5): Lovely location in beautifully appointed apartment - Beautiful location only 10 minutes from Lewes by Taxi/car. The apartment is very well appointed with everything that you could possibly need. The milk and bottled water in the fridge were most welcome. Our stay was in July and it was light very early. We didn’t realise that there were no blinds on the bedroom window which meant we were awake from 4.30am. Also the rooster’s morning cries! WiFi isn’t great.
- Susan (8/5): Rural location. Peaceful one night stay. - I had a peaceful, comfortable and relaxing night's stay at Doeling, Barcombe. It was a very well equipped self-contained holiday flat. It had 2 hobs and a microwave for cooking meals which I made use of. The farm setting was lovely and it was nice to see the chickens running around in the morning!
- Serena (9/5): Superb - Very smart clean, little apartment, comfortable bed, and nice toiletries.
Good location. That there were no curtains or blinds on the velux windows. Eye masks don't cut it for sleeping for me.
- Caren (9/5): Superb - Clean, spacious and comfortable. Nothing
- Simon (9/5): Comfortable stay in apartment on Sussex farm - Very nice spacious apartment in an independent building on a working farm with beautiful views over the Sussex countryside. Nice touches like milk in the fridge and coffee and tea in the kitchen. Comfortable bed and good shower. Window blinds would have been appreciated on a sunny morning in mid summer!
- Rob (9/5): Superb -
- Judith (10/5): What a perfect stay - would very much like to have a reason to revisit for a longer stay! - Very peaceful. Bright and comfortable inside, countryside views.
Super modern. Everything had been thought of to make for a relaxing stay.
Thoughtful extras (manicure set and mending kit too!)
Bottled milk, bottles of water. Nothing at all!
- John (8/5): Lovely cosy place, very pretty setting, helpful owners! - Lovely cute little place, super clean and tidy, owners were extremely friendly and helpful. Perfect place to crash before and after our wedding. Not a complaint but maybe feedback…. With nothing to cover the windows by the bed, the sunlight streams in in the morning! Whilst this can be lovely sometimes, unfortunately it did make it difficult to sleep in the early hours.
