This beautiful cottage is outstanding in every way, each room has its own personality and warmth, from coming in the gate to the front door and beyond.
Great for snuggling up by the fire after a long soak in the beautiful bathroom after a long walk or shopping.

This was our second visit to this delightful cottage. Penny's attention to detail is second to none. Everything you could need is there. Warm, inviting, comfortable with an excellent welcome basket. A pleasure to stay here.

we never usually go back to a holiday venue, but this is the second time we've stayed at Mill Barn, and it's really becoming a peaceful home away from home.

the place is fantastic, very well appointed throughout, wth a superb bathroom, nice kitchen, and very relaxing lounge area. owner Penny could not be more accommodating and helpful, and really makes you feel so welcome, both in person and with her welcome pack.

it's pleasantly independent of any nearby buildings, and over the private garden wall is hundreds of hectares of forest for walks and exploration. and if you like pheasants, rabbits, or owls, the nearby woods have many.

my only concern is leaving this review may help more people discover Mill Barn and limit our own chances of returning again! {:-)

My husband and I could have chosen so many places to stay on our recent trip to the UK…long and the short of it, we chose Mill Barn and are so glad we did!
An absolutely stunning property, well taken care of by its owner.
We received a very warm welcome after our flight from Toronto…after it being an overnight which was 4 hrs late departing.
I was able to contact Penny with ease from the airport to update her, her reply was almost instant and reassuring that it would be all ready for us to rest.
The setting of the cottage it unbelievable and sooo very quiet.
All amenities are up to date, much better than you would even expect.
If you are thinking of a stay at Mill Barn please, do not hesitate…thank you Penny for such a wonderful stay!

This was our second stay at Mill Barn. Owner, Penny, goes a step beyond in making sure that the cottage is in pristine condition when you arrive. The place is immaculately clean. Fresh flowers adorn every room. A lovely hamper filled with goodies is an added luxury. Everything works as it should.
Location wise, this is perfect. Near enough to travel to Lewes or Haywards Heath (and beyond) but far enough away to enjoy total quiet - we loved just walking on the heathland surrounding us . The garden was a wonderful retreat too.
This is a perfect place for romance and a perfect place for rest and quiet. Personal circumstances meant that I needed the latter this year. The cottage haven was exactly what was needed.

We stayed at Mill Barn last year and loved it so returned. Very peaceful location with lovely garden, lots of birds and next to the common. Ideal for 2 people though the stairs can be a bit tricky. And a great location for the South Downs and numerous properties and gardens.
We would hope to return again.

This former barn was associated with a nearby historic windmill and has been converted to a very high level providing proving a superb holiday accommodation for two.
Set within a Chailey common this wooded setting provides both tranquillity and the opportunity to enjoy many walks directly from your door, with the convenience of being just a short distances from connecting roads and easy access to all of Sussex.
With quality furnishing and fittings throughout all maintained very high standards and decorating with fresh flowers and a welcome basket provided by the very friendly and helpful owners (Penny).
Your holiday will be one of very happy memories, as ours certainly was.

Quite simply the best English property I’ve stayed at.
Everything well above average in this superbly equipped and pretty Cottage.
The Owner had left an excellent welcome for me and visited to ensure all well. It was - warm and cosy and a lovely place to come home to after a days work locally. My only fear is I won’t be able to book it next time!
Thank you so much.

Home away from home. This cottage is equipped with everything you would need. Attention to detail in all spaces.
Lovely area for walks and hikes. Close to shopping. Great hosts.
Parking is right outside your cottage.
Bedroom and bathroom are upstairs. Comfortable bed and extra large bath.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable seven day stay in this excellently presented property. Everything was of a very high standard.. It was ideally suited for two people. It was in a delightful setting, away from the main road and very quiet but not isolated. We would have no hesitation in returning.

We’ve enjoyed a wonderful, relaxing week at beautiful Mill Barn (our second visit). Yet again Penny has thought of everything to ensure a memorable stay. The generous welcome basket and fresh flowers were perfect!

Enjoyed some great walks on the South Downs Way from Ditchling Beacon and a couple of relaxing days out at Nymans and Sheffield Park. Returning to the beautiful garden at Mill Barn afterwards just completed the perfect day.

Our second stay at Mill Barn and it has been just perfect, again! It is a real ‘home from home’ thanks to Penny’s hospitality and attention to making any stay here very special. It has been lovely to come in the autumn (last visit was in the summer) and enjoy the cosiness of evenings by the fire. Also, the walks on the Common and the autumnal colours have been wonderful.

There is lots to see and visit in the area, Sheffield Park, Hever Castle, Charleston and lots more. We’ve loved it all! Thank you Penny.

Mill Barn is the most stunningly beautiful place to stay. The location is just idyllic, with the sound of birdsong and we loved watching the rabbits playing... Surrounded by bluebells and gorgeous countryside, I cannot think of a better place to escape to – it has a truly magical feel. As for Mill Barn itself we just love it. The attention to detail, the calming decor, fresh flowers and herbs, basket of treats... Thank you Penny, we didn’t want to leave!
