Hale Barn

Escape to Hale Barn, a beautifully restored, 250-year-old listed timber-framed barn in the heart of Sussex. With space for up to eight guests, it’s a characterful countryside retreat for memorable stays together.

Step outside to your own luxurious hot tub and patio, where open countryside views set the scene for a relaxing soak. A covered, paved veranda with outdoor seating offers another lovely spot to unwind in the fresh air.

Inside, original beams and vaulted ceilings create a striking sense of space, while the galleried landing adds to the barn’s distinctive charm. Settle beside the cosy log burner, stretch out on plush seating and enjoy a film on the large flat-screen TV. The well-equipped kitchen has top-quality appliances, generous worktop space and everything you need to cook up a feast. Gather around the solid oak extendable dining table, with room for eight to share relaxed meals and good company.

Set apart within a 56-acre, family-run working farm, Hale Barn is ideally placed for discovering the Sussex countryside. Follow the nearby Weald Way, explore the head of the Cuckmere Valley, or venture into the South Downs National Park and the High Weald. The coast is also within easy reach, whether you’re setting off by car, bike or on foot.

Make friends with the farm’s much-loved residents during your stay. Donkeys, ponies, micro pigs, pygmy goats, alpacas, sheep and poultry all call the farm home.

There’s plenty to explore nearby. Discover Farley’s House and Gallery, once home to surrealist photographer Lee Miller and artist Roland Penrose, or follow the scenic Cuckoo Trail along the old railway route from Heathfield to Eastbourne Park. For memorable days out, visit Drusilla’s Zoo Park, Herstmonceux Castle or the gardens and historic buildings of Michelham Priory.

Enjoy a spot of fishing or a round of golf at nearby locations.
