Beautiful place to stay peaceful Place to unwind just take it all in Looking forward to going back
Our third visit and the cottage never disappoints with its great facilities and outlook.
Fabulous oasis of tranquility. Luxury bolt hole which is dog friendly - great place to switch off and rest. Loved it.
A wonderful stay in a gorgeous little barn surrounded by a beautiful garden and field.
Good presentation, setting and facilities
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.
Cherrystone barn is a fantastic getaway especially with a pet. We had a fabulous time with our dog Loki. There is lots of room for them to run around within well-fenced areas.
Everyone aspect was spot on, beautiful place.
The living area and garden are really lovely. The bedroom and bathroom have lots of stylish features and a very comfortable bed but are a bit cramped. Lovely helpful hosts. We would definitely go back.
A wonderful location for a relaxing summer holiday. A luxury feel with a lovely garden and hot tub to enjoy!
Beautiful getaway. Felt very accommodated and would definitely come again.
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.
Lovely accommodation for a few days break.
We had an absolutely excellent stay. Cherrystone is even better than it looks in the pictures. One of our favourtie stays. It's wonderfully compfortable, furnished and equipped to the highest standard, and has views to die for. It's beautifully peaceful and private which is something we always love. Added bonuses a great bed, a great courtesy hamper, and a hot tub with a wonderful view. Oh and great for day trips and walks. We loved it and will certainly be back - an absolute treat.
No fuss high standard property lovely hamper !! Great walks right from the door secluded garden ticks all the boxes!! Fabulous!!!
Gorgeous little barn in a lovely rural location. Soooo relaxing. Great country walks right on the doorstep and a lovely village shop just a short stroll away. Very nice hamper too left by the friendly and thoughtful owner. Loved it!
The barn was stunning! It was exceptionally clean and well equipped. We made good use of the log burner and the hot tub and even skipped a couple of planned outings as we just wanted to spend time in the barn, relaxing. Loved the bath in the bedroom! Fantastic hosts who left the most lovely gift basket for us which really added to our stay. We would recommend a walk to Middle Farm for a cream tea and a visit to the farm shop and the cider barn! A luxurious stay in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely be back. X
Fantastic little private cottage with a totally enclosed garden for dogs. Loved the hot tub, log burner and open plan nature of kitchen/dining area/living room. Loved it!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
