Acorn Barn is an excellent house in a beautiful location. It is very well appointed and the owners truly welcomed our dog. The walks from the house are very enjoyable and the close proximity of the Sussex Ox was a bonus. There is much to see and do in the area, especially if you enjoy walking, natural history and visiting historic buildings. ...

Acorn Barn is simply wonderful, both in terms of atmosphere and comfort. The description of property was accurate and may even have understated the property's size, comfort and overall quality. The garden surrounding the property ensures you can always sit in the sun or in the shade, depending on what you wish. The EV charging station was a true live-saver, it turned out. The location of Acorn Barn was excellent as well. Secluded enough to be on your own, but just a short drive away from villages and towns. Communication with Classic Cottages also deserves to be mentioned - extremely friendly and professional....
