We sympathetically converted Walnut Barn’s beautiful 16th century, three-bay, timber-framed Sussex hay barn and stables into luxury accommodation in 2000. The original impressive oak frame is on display throughout, with solid oak floors, flagstone halls and a wide centre staircase leading to a minstrels’ galleried landing, with full-width picture windows. Quality furnishings, heavy drapes, bedspreads, Persian and Turkish rugs give an atmosphere of luxury.
Laid out over three floors are three bedrooms with king-size double beds and one with twin beds. All our beds have the finest, crisp, white Egyptian cotton linen, duck and down feather duvets and pillows, but we can provide hypoallergenic replacements if requested. We provide fluffy white bath and hand towels and towelling robes to heighten your enjoyment of the quality bathroom facilities.
