This beautiful country property borders the grounds of a 200-year-old Grade II* listed windmill, the landmark that gives the village of Windmill Hill its name. The windmill has been carefully restored with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund, other donors, and a team of dedicated volunteers. It is now an operating windmill, open to the public most Sunday afternoons from Easter to September. House guests can visit the mill at other times by prior arrangement. Entry is free but the Windmill Hill Windmill Trust relies on donations to ensure the continued maintenance of the mill.
Windmill Barn has an enclosed garden to enjoy in the summer and has the benefit of private parking. During the winter you can curl up in front of the wood burner after a brisk walk through the surrounding countryside.
The property resides on some of the highest ground for miles around, and is set within ‘1066 Country’, overlooking the Pevensey Levels National Nature Reserve, beyond which is the English Channel.

We loved our week in Windmill Barn.A perfect base for all of the historic sites we wanted to visit. Lovely friendly hosts, who can't do enough for their guests - yet do not intrude on privacy. We would defo recommend, and very likely will. 5 star accommodation.

Very kind hosts. Very comfortable cottage, even with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.A few restaurants at about 15 minutes walking distance. The (delicious) Indian restaurant does also do delivery to the cottage. This information would be nice to have in the cottage.Small supermarket at 5 minutes walking distance, bigger supermarket at 15 minutes walking distance.Nice castle and gardens at walking distance, walking route information would be nice to have in the cottage.
