About this property

Converted Barn

Orchard Barn is luxurious self catering accommodation, situated just off the South Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Orchard Barn is just a few miles from the historic city of Chichester and many attractions including the Goodwood Estate with its Horse Racing, Festival of Speed and the Revival, the historic Dock yard at Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight to name a few. Orchard Barn is a beautiful converted Sussex flint barn with unique views of the downs and the surrounding area. There are many walks right on your doorstep and some challenging cycle rides for the more adventurous. Outside the barn are two patios with garden tables and chairs and a gas BBQ. There is under-floor heating throughout the ground floor of the barn. The hot water is heated by solar panels and we have also installed a rainwater harvester which is used to flush the toilets. The garden is fenced so it is safe for small children and dogs to roam.

Fabulous South Downs Holiday Home

We had a really great week here. We thought the house was bigger than it appears in the photos and was very comfortable and well equipped. Check in was straight forward - we found the property easily and the owners (who live next door) popped in to check we were ok. There are plenty of beautiful South Downs walks and cycle rides directly from the property or within a 30 minute car journey.

Perfect in every way.

Large roomy house with everything you could need for a family holiday. A quiet bedroom for the baby. Loads of dining space and a huge kitchen with everything you could want. Had a lunch party for 14 in the garden with matching chairs. Sally, the host lives next door and was on hand for any problems. Could not recommend it more for a holiday at any time of the year.

Delightful property!

Orchard Barn is a gem of a property. With a family group of 6 adults and 2 children we had great space to roam, a beautiful garden and everything we could possibly want in terms of amenities and equipment. Beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Sally is a helpful and friendly host and we felt well informed and nicely cosseted.

Excellent accommodation in peaceful rural setting

Our group of friends really enjoyed staying in this property. As a group we like walking and visiting historical sites. The ability to have walks right from our doorstep and easy access to National Trust and other places of interest ticked all our boxes. We appreciate the effort the hosts have put into making this such a good place to stay on holiday.

This place is just perfect for a family get together. It is well equipped and spacious. It is in a very rural setting, good for walks and not too far to the coast. We would like to come again.

New Year's Stay

This is a great barn with a huge amount of living space as well as an enormous kitchen. We were a group of 6 but even with another 2 people, the barn is very spacious. It was immaculate when we arrived, the kitchen is well equipped and we had a fabulous stay. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great during our stay but we managed a couple of local walks and a pub lunch. I would highly recommend this and would be more than happy to go back!

Amazing house and hosts

We had the best stay, the house beautiful and is stocked with all you’d need and more. The host is very helpful, accommodating and very easy to contact. There are lovely local walks and pubs and there was nothing we wanted for. We’d love to stay here again, thank you so much. Would highly reccommend to others.

A lovely bolt hole, with country walks and trails. But close to Portsmouth Royal Naval Dockyard, Chichester. There are some lovely sights to see and days out to enjoy. Location is perfect. The property has everything you need, ensuite bathrooms and Wi-Fi. Home from home.

A fantastic place to stay.

The barn is beautiful and full of character. It was a great place to stay and very spacious for our group of 8. It was very well equipped. The bedrooms are very comfortable with beautiful bed linen and ensuite bathrooms. The only suggestion that I have is that it would be a good idea if the two bedrooms with baths only, to have shower attachments.

Lovely Cottage - Everything you need

Our party was 3 generations - 7 adults 1 babe and a hound we had a chilled long weekend at Orchard Barn, plenty of room for all to have together time and quiet away from it all time. Garden safe for both the toddler and the dog - the more amongst us enjoyed running the local roads/trails and boot camps in the garden. The cottage facilities are brilliant the kitchen very well equipped. Bedrooms spacious and comfortable - all ensuite 2 upstairs with baths and the 2 downstairs with showers - one a full wetroom. Definitely one of our best cottage bookings we have had over our many years of holidays in the UK.

Excellent property - very spacious and well-equipped.

The host popped round to ensure everything was satisfactory. The property was very roomy and comfortable. The two downstairs en-suite bedrooms make this an ideal let for a family with older or disabled members. The gardens are secure and sunny with plenty of outdoor furniture.

Family weekend

A lovely family jubilee weekend away at this super accomodation. Orchard Barn is spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. We had ample space for 7 adults and a dog and thoroughly enjoyed the tranquil setting whilst being within a range of places to visit. The approach roads are narrow but we managed fine and there are numerous footpaths all about for exploring the Sussex countryside. We would most definitely return.

Gorgeous property, beautifully clean & super well equipped.

Lovely, spacious converted barn which had plenty of room for our family group of 8 adults & 1 baby. 4 double en-suite bedrooms & great communal spaces to be together or in smaller groups. So well equipped for a rental property too. Host was super helpful with local information prior to our stay & an added touch of flowers, biscuits a bottle of bubbles. Highly recommend & would happily stay again .

Great stay at Orchard Barn

We had a lovely weekend stay with our wider family at Orchard Barn. It is a beautiful, spacious property with a very well-equipped kitchen. For those who like walking, there are some great walks straight from the house or a short drive away.

Perfect Family/Friends Holiday House

Impressing property from the very arrival. Very high standard; even down to the baking trays and the knives in the kitchen. Big full upright fridge and freezer in the utility room, which I don’t think was mentioned on the Vrbo website. Enough space for a bit of me-time for everyone around the barn, useful when you are a group. Plenty of room for Little People to run around. Beautiful bed linen. Can’t put my finger on one single thing that could have been better; well apart from the odd serious downpour we had 😉

A lovely barn for a wonderful stay

My family and I, plus dog were very happy at Orchard Barn. Everything is 5 stars, from booking in (Sally is ever helpful), to the stay and checking out. I highly recommend this place. It is however not near the village so you'll need to be organise with food (easy all supermarkets deliver). The kitchen has everything you need and is probably one of the best self catering places I've stayed in. Everything was very clean which was very reassuring during Covid. Sally lives next door and is on hand if you need anything. Wonderful walks at the door step or a short drive away. Beach in 30 mins. And, underfloor heating, solar powered and loos flushed by rain water but with all the modern convenience that you'll need. I brought my own knives but did not need them as the knives in the knife block were all super sharp. We'll be back! Thanks Sally!

Country hideaway

This spacious, well-equipped property has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The house is ready for large groups, with plenty of large tables, a generous kitchen and choice of outdoor seating. The surroundings are quiet and there is easy access to many parts of the South Downs Way for a variety of walks.
