The Owner Says
We have spent 2 years converting the old cattle fold which kept livestock safe into a cosy self contained Eco holiday stay, that visitors have described as a "Secret hideaway" a "Retreat” and "Bolt Hole". We are "Off Grid “ with a solar panel array with battery storage for electricity, solar thermal panels for hot water and a Biomass boiler for heating. Low environmental impact has in converting and is in running very important to our ethos for the site.

Amazing!
We had a truly lovely time. Upper Barn is a really beautiful and peaceful site and a very special place to stay. Tim has thought of everything one could need inside and outside and was on hand for any queries. There are beautiful walks from the door and it the train station 10 minutes walk away opens up more options. We will be back!
Special place and fantastic location
We stayed at Upper Barn for 5 days. The Barn has been beautifully and thoughtfully renovated in a very eco-sensitive way. Much thought has gone into the design and set up and provisions to make your stay comfortable. The owners couldn't be more helpful. The walled garden was perfect for the kids and dog and the position on the South Downs close to the South Downs Way, Amberley village and pub and river Arun was fantastic. Thank you
A truly beautiful, relaxing place to stay.
The barn is amazing, everything you need for a perfect few days, and the outdoor space is wonderful. A great fire pit, shepherd hut and interesting bird life. The villages of Amberley and Houghton are very close, easy walking distance, and both have welcoming, cosy pubs. Good walks on the doorstep, the barn is on the South Downs Way. This really is a great place to stay - just so peaceful and calm. Totally recommend a few days there.
Wonderful secluded property
A wonderfully secluded property which has high quality furnishings. It has an enclosed walled garden with beautiful views and fire pit. Private off street parking for two cars and secure area for bikes is an added bonus. Rail station and decent pub are nearby (walkable). The owner is very responsive with an attention to detail. Highly recommended.
A special place to stay
We had a fantastic week at Upper Barn. It's such a special, secluded spot, perfectly located for walking on the South Downs and the local amenities (pubs! - three good ones within an easy walk). Tim has done a brilliant job with the barn and has thought of everything to make the most of its footprint and provides everything you'll need for a comfortable stay with lots of lovely touches. It's off-grid, but you lack for nothing. The outside area is great. It's all surrounded by a wall or fence, so our dog could have a good roam outside. We loved sitting round the firepit, roasting marshmallows under the stars (there was an owl hooting, too...). It's an easy drive to the beach and local farm shops, and Brighton too if you fancy it.
Beautiful idyllic escape
Thank you so much to Tim for the most relaxing week in this beautiful barn. It was such a tonic to getaway from it all! The views are stunning and the barn and it's garden are wonderful. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed the firepit in the evening, toasting marshmallows. Tim supplied us with some fabulous goodies - English wine, delicious bantum eggs and plenty more treats. Much appreciated. Tim was a great host and excellent to communication with. We loved the walks and enjoyed a couple of delicious meals at the Black Horse pub - 15 minutes walk away. Amberley is a very pretty village with a shop, tearoom, train station, museum and pubs. We also visited Chichester Marina and Arundel Castle. Most of all we loved relaxing at the barn, enjoying the tranquility - just perfect!
Wonderful and relaxing time at the Upper Barn
We had a wonderful time. Tim's attention to detail is what makes the barn exceptional. We have had everything we could wish for and were able to fully relax. The barn was squeaky clean, the bed and linen were very comfortable, cozy, and of high quality. The kitchen was very well equipped even with a large collection of spices (from the Mediterranean to Asia). The surrounding is beautiful, with a large enclosed garden (ideal for the dogs) and enough garden seating's to enjoy the morning- as well as the afternoon sun. You can watch the sunset from the garden. The South Down's hiking way is just passing by the barn, so no need to take the car. The picturesque Amberley village with the nice Black Horse Gastro Pub is just in walking distance another plus. Communication with Tim was quick and easy, we definitely would come back.
Idyllic
We spent and excellent week at Upper Barn a totally relaxing place to stay - Very high specification with great interior design and a super secluded garden. Directly on the South Downs Way for great walking and close to the pretty village of Amberley. Owner is very helpful, would totally recommend to anyone.
Idyllic getaway
We had an amazing and very relaxing few days at Upper Barn. It's perfectly situated for heading off on long walks over the South Downs and exploring the area. We particularly loved the beautiful garden and evenings by the fire-pit toasting marshmallows while listening to the sheep bleating on the surrounding fields! The barn is well equipped, cosy and comfortable with real attention to detail that makes you feel welcome - like binoculars and local maps and welcome goodies like delicious local eggs! The perfect getaway.
