Just a short stroll from the sea in Saltdean, this beautifully restored 19th century hay barn offers a rare combination of boutique-hotel style luxury and the space and freedom of a self-catering retreat. With its spa-like touches, enclosed gardens and a hot tub for starry night soaks, the barn is the perfect choice for discerning travellers seeking comfort, convenience and a touch of indulgence just outside Brighton.
Step inside and you’ll be welcomed by a soaring 35-foot vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, stone flooring and stylish interiors that combine antique charm with contemporary comfort. The main reception room is light, airy and spacious – an inviting hub for socialising with loved ones. Sink into the sofas by the wood-burning stove or enjoy a movie night on the HDTV system with Netflix. Upstairs and down, you’ll find two beautifully appointed bedrooms and two bathrooms, complete with deluxe beds, pressed linens, spa robes, slippers and complimentary toiletries. With a choice of pillows, massage cushions and even an aromatherapy relaxation room, this really is a wellness-inspired retreat.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with high-end appliances, including oven, hob, air fryer and Nespresso coffee machine. Gather at the island for drinks while dinner is prepared, then dine together either inside or in the enclosed garden, where you’ll find lounge and sunning areas perfect for alfresco evenings. For those staying seven nights or more, a complimentary Champagne and spirits tray awaits, while all guests are treated to a generous welcome selection of wine, beer, sparkling water, teas, coffees and sweet treats.
Outside, the barn is set within tranquil landscaped gardens offering privacy and a truly peaceful atmosphere. The rear patio features a sunken four-person hot tub alongside dining and lounging space, while the front garden makes a lovely spot for morning coffee. Step directly onto the path behind the barn and you’ll reach Telscombe Tye, a vast stretch of unspoilt grassland between the South Downs and the sea – perfect for long walks, cycling or simply taking in the incredible coastal views.
And when you’re ready for adventure, Brighton is just a 20-minute drive away, with its famous Pier, Royal Pavilion, buzzing nightlife and independent shops. Closer to home you can dive into the Saltdean Lido swimming complex, just a few minutes away, or enjoy the sandy beaches and ocean swims just 200 metres from your door. With so much to explore and such indulgent comforts to return to, the barn offers a truly memorable stay.
