We enjoyed our stay at the Mount House Barn which is both comfortable and well-appointed, with a lovely welcome from the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Maude-Roxby.We were there in the hottest June on record and the upstairs rooms (in the roof), especially, were very warm so we were grateful for the three fans which were provided which helped.

Helpful and thoughtful hosts, safe parking, comfortable and stylish furnishings, more kitchen equipment than you could hope to use, close to any number of places to visit and all in the beautiful Sussex High Weald. We would happily recommend Mount House Barn.
