A wonderful barn conversion with everything you need for a relaxing break. The garden is lovely with the hot tub an added bonus especially after a long walk it was great to relax in with a view over the area beyond the garden..The owner couldn’t have been more helpful and was close by if needed. We will definitely be coming back again to explore more of the area, and having some homemade meals from the community shop.

Cherrystone Barn was delightful even better than we we were expecting, we had a lovely welcome hamper and the barn had everything we needed and more! The garden was perfect for the dogs as they could roam around and we could relax knowing they couldn’t get out but also designed beautifully and you could out straight in to fields and footpaths. that went for miles. Happy tired doggos and happy relaxed ppl! Can’t wait to go back.

The property is in a lovely location and was convenient for all we wanted to do. It is private and has lovely gardens. It is also clean, comfortable and well stocked. I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 because I think there are one or two things that let it down slightly. Some of the pots and pans need replacing. A knife had the end missing, the toilet brush needs replacing. One of the wooden outside chairs is broken. Small things but for the price of the property all should be in order. The shower in the bedroom is awaiting renewal. The main concern was the failure of the housekeeper to return calls either when we were trying to find out about the key on arrival and to find out what to do with the key as we were leaving early. Luckily the gardener was on site and said she would look after the key. Then the housekeeper turned up so she had got our message but failed to answer it. It seemed a bit chaotic in terms of this aspec of the booking. Otherwise Rural Retreats we’re helpful when we reported that we couldn’t contact the housekeeper.

Absolutely perfect place for a dog friendly break. We have just booked for next year which says it all really! The barn is lovely, the garden is absolutely beautiful even without the luxury of the adjoining paddock. Our pooch could not believe his luck! Everything in great condition and perfectly clean, and the welcome hamper was very generous. We did walks along the coast and Alfriston - all lovely & we were lucky with the weather. Couple of things that could be useful to know ahead of time: the freezer is tiny, there is only one small frying pan so depending on your plans you might want to bring your own; and if you have a dog you may want to bring all your own provisions as the village shop and closest farm shops don't allow dogs into the building.
