Fascinating property - very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Extremely well equipped. The paddock was an added bonus for exercising my daughter's young dog. The hamlet of West Dean is absolutely beautiful - lovely walks in to Friston Forest and up the steps to an amazing view over Cuckmere Haven. Enjoyed the little farm shop for apple juice and jam....

We had the most wonderful time at Heringaud. Such a tranquil place, in the heart of the countryside and perfect for a short break or longer peaceful holiday. The owners were very friendly and happy to show us round and the property was perfect for us. Thank you!...

Our break at Heringaud Barn was a wonderfully peaceful stay. Immaculately clean, warm and welcoming. Equipped with everything you could need and located in the centre of this quiet and historical village. The only traffic were the walkers en route of the many nearby trails. Our dog loved the large enclosed paddock for a sniff or ball game - perfect. And the WiFi was super fast and efficient which was a definite bonus. Can highly recommend and very much hope to return soon....

Heringaud Barn was a delightful property. The cleanliness was exceptional. The location of the barn was so peaceful. We explored the area and it's amazing dog walks too. We would definitely recommend Heringaud Barn for countryside lovers. Equally, its location meant it was not too far away from lovely Alfriston and Lewes etc!...

Excellent location with loads of walking from the door through the Friston Forrest and along the Cuckmere river plus the Seven Sisters. Good food in local pubs and café - all walkable. Well appointed, warm and comfortable, the barn is situated in a small quiet hamlet that seems to have escaped time. There was no through traffic and plenty of space to to park our car with a private paddock to exercise our dog. Our hosts (we never met) provided a very generous welcome package and as our stay was over Christmas week had put up seasonal decorations inside and out. Highly recommended....
