  • "Lovely welcome and the fridge has some surprises waiting for us!"

    The furnishing were first class, the TV had a wide selection to choose from. A prefect stay for two old codgers, and even managed the stairs when nature called during the night !! The garden birds entertained us whilst eating in the conservatory. The area was perfect for exploring a county we had not visited before. We will definitely return before our days are numbered !

  • "Great facility for two in a lovely location very handily near to the A27 yet by beautiful woods for walking."

    The extras the owner provides are very thoughtful and all is very dog friendly. Really enjoyed our stay and such a comfortable bed ensured a really great night's sleep all week. Just by way of help, guests need to be aware of the sloped ceiling in the bedroom and steep stairs up to it. The 'freezer' detailed in description is in fact just an icebox in the fridge. That said, these really are not negatives; we loved it and would happily stay again.

  • "It was clean, comfortable, fresh and well appointed."

    The welcome package was perfect. And all the little touches such as the bedside torches, tissues and water were extremely thoughtful. A great base to relax in. Very dog friendly. Off road parking was a bonus.

  • "We received such a friendly welcome when we arrived at the property, were delighted with the welcome pack and loved the location of the barn."

    The accommodation was delightful and we immediately felt at home as did our dog. Being adjacent to Swindon Woods was an added bonus and we had a lot of lovely walks in the woodland and further afield. We will be returning.

  • "Debby made us very welcome on our arrival and showed us around the property."

    The barn is a lovely little property and is situated in a very peaceful situation in woods, we found this very handy as we could open the gate in the morning and take our dog straight into the woods. Although quiet and peaceful, a 3 minute drive down the lane takes you straight onto the A27 which is great as you can easily access any areas you wish to visit. The barn itself was very comfortable and well appointed with the added bonus of a nice conservatory, and garden with patio, table and chairs Good pub down the road,and a great village shop which served breakfast. Had a very enjoyable weeks break so 5***** to Debby

    Thank you so much Brian , am so please you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the local pub in Eartham and village shop & Cafe. I hope you will all return in the future. Many thanks Debs Property Owner

  • "This is a great cottage with wonderful features."

    It is spacious, well equipped and offers a flexible choice of places to eat from the lounge, sun lounge and the patio. The upstairs bedroom has a sloped roof with a spacious and super comfortable bed. The shower which is downstairs provides hot water and is highly effective. The garden is great for four legged friends and was much enjoyed by our pooch and us. We would recommend it to others for its positioning to visit other places, gardens and eateries, too. The host is chatty, informative and kind.

    Sue thank you for your lovely comments, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay in The Stables Barn .I look forward to seeing you all in the future Many Thanks Debs Property Owner

    Great location. Woodland on the door step. Coast 20 mins drive. Fontwell races across the road and Goodwood races 15 min drive. Some lovely touches make it feel a home from home. Warm welcome from host Debbie on arrival. Great for the dog, big enclosed garden. Everything we wanted for a pleasant stay.

About the location

FONTWELL

Arundel 5 miles; Goodwood 5 miles; Chichester 6 miles; Petworth 11 miles; Worthing 14 miles.

Fontwell is a small hamlet in the heart of the Sussex countryside, made famous by Fontwell Park Racecourse, where in October 1949 Queen Elizabeth II had her first win as the owner of Monaveen. The racecourse is still a popular venue with 23 meetings each year, including the customary Boxing Day race day. Fontwell itself is made up of several scattered cottages and equestrian centres, nestled within Slindon Woods on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Arundel is 5 miles to the east, here visitors are able to tread cobbled streets and explore this pretty market town with its castle and cathedral both set high up on the hills overlooking the River Arun. Arundel also offers quaint shops, art galleries and a number of pubs and restaurants, as well as a monthly farmers’ market, here you can buy local cheeses and breads, along with fruits and cakes, so why not fill your picnic basket and head for the South Downs, or to the coast for a day on the beach. You cannot come to this part of Sussex without visiting Goodwood. With horse racing, motor racing and Goodwood House, a 17th century stately house home to the Duke of Richmond (open to the public from March to October) everyone will have a day to remember. With so much to see and do you will want to return to this Sussex hamlet time and again.
