Superb accommodation. Perfect for a couple. What joy to find real wooden coat hangers instead the usual mixtureof wire + plastic! Great welcome + thanks for the very welcome "goodies" -  a really nice touch. This accommodation was so cosy we forgot how cold it was outside. Thanks. ps Kings Beach Hotel no longer does evening meals.

We've had a very enjoyable stay. The barn is lovely and cosy. We had very nice lunches at The Walnut Tree and also the lodge tea shop by the lake in Arundel Park. A local map or O-survey map in the barn would be useful for guests to borrow.

S&D November 2009

It's our second visit and we've had a lovely time again. When can we move in?

RS&L November 2009

What a wonderful weekend away it's been, what a shame it wasn't long enough! We all wish we could live in Sycamore Barn, and visit more of the surrounding area.

TT&T November 2009

Reminds on of village life, sounds of the chickens, church bells and foxes on the prowl. For eating out the Inglenook Hotel is hard to better but for the real 'foody' a must is the 'Fork & Field' in Chichester

T&L October 2009

Very nice clean accomodation, thank you for goodies. Great bird watching area. Recommend Bosham Quay. Don't forget to visit the church there.

P&D October 2009

We have had a lovely short break in a beautifully converted barn, the milk, the eggs & cookies were very much appreciated! The nature reserve is well worth a visit. We would definitely come back.

M&M October 2009

Had a really lovely time in this idylic setting. Especially enjoyed the eggs & cookies! The indian takeaway in Pagham was very good and we had a beautiful walk to Pagham Harbour.

G&P October 2009

We have so enjoyed staying here, it has made us want to find somewhere just like it to live. In fact you have come very close to having a couple of squatters!! Thankyou so much, much success to you.

P&D October 2009

Lovely short break, great clean accomadation in lovely setting. Found lots of interest in local (15 mile) area, including Chichester and Arundel which are beautiful. Weather was fab with breakfast on the patio.

P&J September 2009

A visit to Chichester Festival Theatre is a must. Have a pre-theatre meal at the Brasserie in the Park for an excellent start to the evening.

Thank you for a lovely week. The barn is very cosy and has everything you need. The weather has been fantastic too!We have walked and cycled for miles - we would definitely recommend the Salterns Way cycle route from Chichester to West Wittering. Plus you don't have to pay for the beach if you cycle.

P&L September 2009

Very comfortable,very nice location.

Sycamore Barn was very easy to find. My initial impression from the outside was slight disappointment but once inside that swiftly went. The place is lovely and bright and clean with all the facilities you could possibly need. A little welcome package was a very nice touch. We were within easy walking distance of Pagham Beach, Pagham Harbour (very stinky and trod in big dollop of dog poo...a kind dog owner had not cleared up....). Chichester and Bognor are a very short drive away. Three car boots, Shafi Tandoori very nice and five minutes away.
Had a great time. Would highly recommend.

Don't forget to tell the hens that they gave us the first class raw material for a delicious omelett. Thank you too to their efficient owners. The old barn is a very nice base to vivit the area and I have to mention that I appreciated the proper kitchen (sorry, I am French) We particularly enjoyed the walks round the bird reserve.

What a lovely place Sycanore Barn is and a perfect location. The conversion has been thoughtfully carried out and is a lovely place to stay. The egss were lovely and a very nice touch.n However the ongoing noise from the builders and the tile cutting over 3 days has tarnished our experienceof staying here. Would love to come again but will be checking to see if any building work is going on first. Can recomend Crab & Lobster pub for a special meal out. The Ship Inn, Itchenor was a lovely pub & lovely place to visit.

RSL August 09

We have had a fantastic weekend break, extremely restful and peaceful away from stressful jobs. We can highly recomend Inglenook pub in the village for a meal approx 20 min walk and Chichester Marina. We had a fantastic meal at the China Royal in Chichester. Brighton is laso worth a visit. Can't wait to come back.

S & s August 09

Great place & wonderful cottage. Anyone staying try walking down to the beach & then along to the harbour Sky satelite needs retuning. We would love to come back in the future.

P & A  August 09

Had a very nice break. All mod cons etc. Like home from home. Lovely place. Clock in the kitchen would be useful.

L & T August 2009

We have had a beautifully relaxing week. What a peaceful place! We have enjoyed exploring the Downs and particularly enjoyed visiting Uppark. The biscuits, wine and eggs were a lovely touch!

Very well apppointed and equiped, lovely feel to the whole place and the little terrace is great for al fresco meals. Lovely spot with everything you need close by.

This is a beautifully converted small barn fully equipped with everything you need for a short break. The standard of the conversion is excellent and it makes a very pleasant change from a standard hotel.

Very relaxing, enjoyed our short break, wish we had longer to explore more.
