Guests say
The Barn in Chichester is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its warm and comfortable ambiance, welcoming hosts, and idyllic location. Guests enjoyed the hot tub, sociable spaces, and the property's suitability for family gatherings and special occasions. The charming local pub and village shop add to the convenience, making it a recommended choice for a getaway.
Most guests found The Barn to be clean and welcoming, particularly noting the upstairs cleanliness. However, one review mentioned that the downstairs cleanliness could be improved, suggesting a generally high standard with some room for attention to detail.
The location is consistently described as wonderful, idyllic, and beautiful, with easy access to local amenities such as a tea shop, village shop, and a nearby pub. The proximity to family in the neighbouring village was also appreciated, indicating a highly desirable location.
Guests found The Barn to be warm, comfortable, and cozy, with a special mention of the property being well-suited for those with mobility issues. The presence of a wood fire and a hot tub contributed to the overall comfort.
While the hot tub, log fire, and sociable spaces were highlights, some guests noted that the dining facilities were not adequate for the number of guests the property can accommodate, as the table only seats six. This suggests that while the facilities are generally good, there is room for improvement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, while the hosts are described as welcoming and informative, it is not possible to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts, and the score is set to null.

For the price we paid it was well worth it. There was plenty of space, it kept warm ( it was February) and was clean and welcoming. The hot tub was perfect. It's ideal for a family gathering and 10 could sleep there if needed. It was peaceful in the day and during the night, and the children and the dog enjoyed the field behind the barn. We would book again.

We had a great time at the barn conversion over christmas. There was a lovely christmas tree and we had a wood fire. The arrangement of the bedrooms suited us well as an extended family with a large open plan kitchen/dining area and sitting room. The location was excellent for us as we had family in the neighbouring village. As there is a bedroom downstairs with large wetroom the accommodation is perfect for those with mobility issues.
