A romantic and very comfortable retreat in a smartly converted dairy with a pretty garden, close to the South Downs

Read guest comments

Inside you'll feel private and cosy, views are over the orchard and garden. Walk straight in to a roomy porch with oak boarding and the kitchen with its original brick floor, an old pine dresser with pretty china, pale blue cupboards and plenty of stuff for even the most demanding cook. You'll find fresh eggs, croissants, bread and homemade jam as well as flowers.

The bathroom is off here, with painstakingly restored terracotta floor tiles, a proper big white bath and a window. The open-plan sitting room has a comfy sofa, lots of interesting books, an electric wood-burner and an antique chair. Sleep like a log in the comfiest big bed with feather and down; your bedroom has one exposed flint wall and thick fabrics.

Wander the garden to find a quiet spot, set off on superb walks in any direction or stroll half an hour down a bridle path to the Jolly Sportsman in East Chiltington for excellent local food and wine.

  • The Dairy is part of the curtilage of Streat Place Barn, built around 1600, and traditionally restored by us over the last 30 years.
  • The historic town of Lewes is just 7 miles away - enjoy a high street full of local shops, artisan makers and lovely cafés. The bustling city of Brighton, with it's beach too, is just 10 miles away.
  • There are some wonderful places to eat out just a stones throw from The Dairy, perfectly walkable to, they include 'The Jolly Sportsman' in East Chiltington, 'The Bull' in Ditchling and 'The Half Moon' in Plumpton.
  • We have culture in abundance - from the decadent escapism of 'Glyndebourne Opera', the beautiful 'Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft', the inspiring 'Charleston Farmhouse' and 'Farley's Farmhouse'.
  • Get a taste of the local foodie scene by hunting out 'The Sussex Peasant' in Ditchling, 'Dill' in Lewes, 'Artelium' Wine in Streat, 'Plaw Hatch Farm' in Forest Row, 'Fire+Wild' in Firle.

"Paradise for humans and the dog. The dairy is beautiful, flint & brick, extremely cosy, luxurious but individual and not 'in your face' . We called it 'home', from the first day. Dog walks on the doorstep, in all directions. Hosts charming, helpful, available and discrete. Streat is a beautiful location, off the beaten track, with pretty flint church (next to the dairy); the only trouble is that, being so attractive, this part of Sussex has too many cars using even single lanes country tracks. Thanks for a marvellous stay."

"Absolutely amazing place. Beautifully restored,gorgeous linens, lots of lovely up cycled things. Area is lovely. The barn and courtyard idyllic. Steve and Jinks interesting, friendly warm. Couldn't rate it highly enough, just a shame it's five hundred miles from us!"
