The Byre - Self-catering house in Sussex
Milton Street, Alfriston, BN26 5RW, Sussex
England,
Royaume-Uni
Come for a restful stay at this award-winning barn. In the lofty space where once the oxen were fed and watered, you can settle on a comfy sofa, be warmed by large cast-iron radiators, admire the view over the church and the famous Long Man of Wilmington. Two bedrooms with timber framed walls and antique chandeliers are off the hall and have lovely vistas over the lily pond or fields; a shared bathroom has a deep copper bath and Bramley soaps and lotions.
Cook in the well-equipped kitchen with a copper worktop, plenty of prep space, pretty Portmeirion china and an antique welcome hamper full of delicious treats to tide you over. On balmy days you can sit out at a small table near the lily pond and listen to birdsong or wander down the lane to The Sussex Ox for a restorative pint.
Walks from the door are plentiful: there's a farm gate right opposite you with green fields leading up to the Downs. Pop into Alfriston for a medieval high street and independent shops.

The Owner:
- Walking distance from The Byre rests The Long Man of Wilmington. A large chalk figure carved into the downs with interesting folklore surrounding its origins.
- Walk across the field to Wilmington church and take a look at the magnificent 1600 year old yew tree in the churchyard, it's well worth a visit.
- Just over a mile away is the medieval village of Alfriston which lies in the valley of the River Cuckmere. Visit Alfriston church known as the ‘cathedral of the south’ and don’t miss The Clergy House – the very first property bought by The National Trust.
- Alfriston village is crammed with little independent shops including art, antiques, vintage clothes, gifts, a bookshop and a useful local store. With three tearooms & two country pubs you are also spoilt for choice when it comes to good food & drink!
- Don’t miss the stunning meanders of the Cuckmere river at Seven Sisters Country Park or visit Birling Gap and the magnificent Seven Sisters chalk cliffs with stunning walks and breath-taking views of the coastline.
- Discover a world-leading opera house, uniquely situated in the heart of the Sussex countryside. Glyndbourne celebrates world class music and theatre at it’s best, and it’s only 15 minutes away from The Byre.
