We enjoyed our midweek stay at Chilsham Barn. We have stayed before and the house has been renovated to a very high standard. It is in a complex which has been landscaped and is peaceful! The beds are comfy! Herstmonceux castle gardens are nearby and there are several places to eat in relatively easy reach.
