If you like peaceful seclusion with easy access to all the Sussex Weald, the Downs and the coast have to offer, then The Tack Barn is the place to choose. This eco-friendly property is beautifully appointed with tranquil views over a natural Sussex pond. A welcome basket awaits its visitors, but that must remain a surprise;) The owner is not only helpful and happy to share a few tips with her guests, but also offers access to her extensive orchard and vegetable garden for fresh fruit and vegetables when in season. Enjoy! March 2024 Surprise treat for my husband’s birthday and the Tack Barn did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated with a lovely touch of spring flowers - loved the cowslips in the bathroom. Corina was very welcoming, enthusiastic and helpful. I don't feel I would have hesitated to ask for anything if there were a problem. The Ram at Fire was excellent after our walk along the Downs. Even when the weather turned yesterday it was a relief to return to the cosy barn and light the woodburner. The barn is inspirational in its decor and clean, organic interior. Thank you for a lovely experience, so much to see and do here - sorry to be leaving today. August
The Barn is fabulous and has everything you need for a comfortable stay, together with unexpected touches such as the great selection of books by the bed and in the bureau. Outside the deck provided the perfect spot for early morning yoga and welcoming the sun as it rose over the pond... We've lounged in the hammock under a canopy of leaves and watched the squirrels, we've climbed the tree-house and chatted to the donkeys, and eaten outside as often as we could. This break has enabled us to live in the moment for a while and re-set. We feel a little more refreshed and ready to navigate life again! July Such a calm, peaceful and very comfortable place to stay. I particularly loved being able to throw the bedroom french windows to let the morning in. Corina and Dominic were very welcoming, lovely extra touches meant such a lot, beautiful fresh garden flowers in the house, welcome basket of goodies, picking veggies from the garden for dinner and being able to use the EV charger on site took away the angst of searching for chargers. Such a great base from which to explore the wonders of East Sussex. Hope we can return soon. More reviews and articles here... |

What a wonderful place to stay. Amazing walks, loved Lewes - especially the Bloomsbury exhibition. Loved my visit to Charleston Farmhouse and the 'David Hockney - Love Life’ exhibition. That sums up our visit - love life! We hope to return. December 2023 Thank you for a great stay. We have enjoyed the Christmas atmosphere in the house... so beautifully and artfully done. The surroundings of the Tack Barn are sublime. December 2023 A second trip to the Tack Barn and just as lovely as the first. Had a fabulous time at the Glyndebourne Christmas Concerts, but what a treat to return to the lovely cosy barn with added beauty of decorations for Christmas. Such a peaceful relaxing place to stay.

This is a very special place to stay. Not only is the Tack Barn very beautifully decorated with a well-appointed kitchen, and great library of local interests and history, but you are surrounded by all the things that make Sussex so special. Corina, the host, is an amazing resource for local food, art, and wonderful places of interest and natural beauty. I was welcomed with juice from their orchard, flowers from their garden, eggs from their hens, and other delights. I enjoyed eating meals in the covered outdoor space, watching the sun rise over the pond and gardens, and listening to the bird song from the hammock, hung in the little woodland out back. This stay was a delight for the senses. |
