About this property
Modern Barn In The Heart Of Sussex, Easy access to Lewes and Brighton
Larch Cottage is a modern 2 bedroom recently re-built barn, with a lovely open living area, well-equipped kitchen, patio and garden area plus you will have use of the owner's tennis court.
The attractive private garden has its own gate straight onto Chailey Common, with excellent walking. The Common is renowned for its heathland, wildlife, and the remains of WW1 training trenches. There is lots of wildlife to enjoy - deer, cows (in the summer), lots of rabbits and squirrels and a wide variety of birds.
Chailey is in the heart of Sussex, within easy reach of many local attractions (Lewes, South Downs, Bluebell Railway, Brighton, Ashdown Forest, Sheffield Park, and much more). There are lots of walks nearby and plenty of great pubs to enjoy! Several beaches are within a 45 minute drive.
The barn is well equipped, including underfloor heating, washer/drier, dishwasher, Smart TV and wi-fi. Artwork by local artists is displayed on the walls.
It sleeps 4, ideal for two adults and two children, though there is space for a cot as well. There is one double room and one twin room.
Please note we are usually a FRIDAY changeover, but can accommodate other days. Arrivals from 3.30 in the afternoons and departure at 10.30 in the morning.
The barn is down a private driveway off the A272 main road. It is well set back from the road. You cannot see the road from the cottage or the garden, though you can sometimes hear it from the garden.
The free wifi is fine (for a rural area). The mobile signal is poor for some networks. If that is a problem, we can provide you with a land-line.
COVID-19: We are implementing a 2 day gap between guests, extra cleaning routines, and also changing temporarily our check-in to after 16.30, and check out to before 10.00am. For further detail please contact us.

About the host
Hosted by Fiona

The cottage is owned by Fiona and Andrew Robson and is situated on their property, but in a secluded position. We have three children aged 27 - 32, who have all now (mostly) left home, and this is a relatively new project for us. We built the barn in 2014, welcomed our first guests in 2015, and are enjoying receiving our many visitors who come from all over the world.
We also love to know a bit about our guests before the arrive. Please do tell us, for example, why you are visiting Sussex when you make your enquiry.
