Space

This rural set-up brings together The Dairy, Wren Barn, and two self-contained barn suites (Buttercup and Clover) all arranged around the same courtyard. Each is a converted agricultural building, keeping original features (exposed timber, brick/flint) and refreshed for comfortable modern stays. Ideal for larger groups wanting space, privacy and flexibility.

Each building retains its own character and charm, with exposed timber beams, wooden floors and a relaxed farmhouse feel throughout. The accommodation works equally well for leisure stays, extended family visits, or practical stays for those working in the area.

Despite the peaceful countryside setting, Chichester, the South Downs and the coast are all just a short drive away.
