Nice location with a pretty garden . We were visiting during the recent long heatwave , we asked if we could have a fan as it was very hot in the loft area where you sleep , told clearly No !! I would suggest there should a fan in the property to make it more pleasant. We visited other places that had fans which made it a much more comfortable

Excellent!

Myself, my husband and my 2 year old stayed here and absolutely loved it! We booked the night before we were going to go on a whim and Helen was so accommodating which was amazing. The grounds are beautiful and the barn is a fantastic place to stay if you're looking to unwind! Will definitely be back - Thank you!

Property was lovely and as described. Check in was simple. We came away to relax and get away from being mid house move and from constant builders noise at our flats. Unfortunately for us, the one morning we had to relax at the barn, someone decided to use a leaf blower continually around the property for around 2-3 hours which ended up driving us out to escape the constant noise. When we came back, although we were warned that there will be a property viewing taking place that day, we were taken by surprise in the late afternoon when relaxing on the sofa to find 3 faces peering in at us through the glass. This then happened again at the end of the viewing with no consideration for us. Unfortunately these aspects made the stay not very relaxing at all and the same as what we are currently dealing with at home, which was the reason we booked to have a peaceful break away from it. The barn itself was comfortable enough, with everything you would need.

A lovely stay in Sussex

We spent our last few days in the UK at the barn and loved our stay there. The accommodation was very comfortable and charming - full of character. The location was superb, tucked away in the heart of the lovely Sussex countryside with friendly local pubs within easy walking distance. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and were happy to suggest the best local walks from the cottage using the map they supplied for us. Just a short drive from Gatwick Airport, we hope to stay again next time we visit the UK.

We really enjoyed our two-week stay at Step Cottage. It's a good location for driving to many National Trust locations, and close to towns with a variety of stores, and many nice farm shops with fresh meats and produce. Our hosts Helen and Andy were very helpful and gave us advice about towns and shops to visit that made our stay much better. The cottage is a nice place to relax with a pleasant garden, very quiet and restful at night. The kitchen has everything needed to make nice meals.

Visiting National Trust properties

This was a fantastic base for visiting a number of beautiful National Trust properties. The accommodation was perfect for us and met all our needs. Very clean and well equipped. All arrangements were easy and Helen was very helpful. Beautiful quiet spot which we really didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend.
