High Barn Retreats

Tyckte om: Beautiful location, view of the sea, nice walk to the beach and pubs etc. We loved how natural and simple the site was. Delicious eggs from the farm delivered right to our tent.

Tyckte inte om: The toilets were on a bit of an angle which made me feel like I was going to trip over when I went up and down the steps to them! Not a big issue, but could easily be placed slightly further along the fence where it’s flatter next year

Från föreståndaren: The loos were installed when I wasn't there. I was, um, surprised(!) at where they put them... 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Tyckte om: Stunning location, helpful owners, easy access to Brighton (£15 Uber either way or 30 min walk and 20 min bus or an easy 15 min drive) great price for the campsite, even cheaper if you have a big group of you all pitched up.

Tyckte inte om: Can’t park next to your pitch and the grass is a little rough by the pitch and could see how some of the branches could come through the bottom of the tent if you do not spend time removing them before pitching up. Very steep hill so it is a challenge even getting your stuff down to the campsite, never mind getting it back up (well worth it tho).

Från föreståndaren: Nice to meet you, albeit briefly! We are considering what to do about cars for another time. 😊

Tyckte om: The space! We had enough privacy, and the location was so nice and remote. Great wild camping with toilets and running water. Great value for money

Tyckte inte om: Not a big deal but the toilets were placed on a slope so it was very easy to trip and lose balance

Från föreståndaren: Yes, I completely agree about the toilets. I was a little surprised when I saw where they'd put them! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks for coming!

Tyckte om: Amazing stay, the owners are wonderful just all round lovely people! The compost loos and bins were very clean and actually I found them better than portaloos for smellyness. The site was very peaceful and loved the sunset and sea views. Big hike everyday up and down the hill with a four year old but we took it slow and both really enjoyed it.

Tyckte inte om: Take the description of wild camping seriously! I damaged my ground sheet and sleeping mats and we both got lots of little cuts from the stubby spikey reed type grass because we wore shorts and sandles! This is just because I wasn’t properly prepared for wild camping nothing to do with the site.

Från föreståndaren: Lovely to meet you and your son! Pleased to hear you had a good time! :)

Tyckte om: Nice views

Tyckte inte om: The walk to the site. If we had know you had to walk so far to the site and leave the car so far away we would never had booked the site if we had known. Its a shame that isn't in the in the listing for the site

Från föreståndaren: All the details are in the welcome email. I don't want cars on the site because it would cause enormous damage to the fragile grasslands, and they would probably get stuck. I would also be concerned about everyone's safety. I am always available for a chat and would have happily talked through any concerns you had if you'd called me.

Tyckte om: Loved how cheap the camping was, we paid £35 for 5 people for 2 nights. Toilets were clean and the manager was lively and helpful and even went and got ice for us.

Från föreståndaren: Don't tell everyone about ice! They'll all want some! Pleased to hear you had a good time! :)

Tyckte om: Lovely area, views and stuff to do in the local town. Nice camping area that wasn’t too busy! Great for wild camping

Tyckte inte om: Earwigs 😂

Tyckte om: If you're looking for a sustainable camp site in the most beautiful setting - Then High Barn is for you. I stayed here for Pride Weekend and everyone was so friendly and nice. It's quite far out but it's a 30/35 min walk (down hill) to the nearest bus stop. Which was really easy to get to Brighton Town. I loved how ECO friendly this campsite is. I loved the layout of the site, with different pitches marked out in the grass. I liked the how clean the toilets were - even though these were completely wild. I also REALLY appreciate the email to pre arriving - this had some really nice touches and good tips. Really recommend - great job. Can't wait to book for next year.

Tyckte inte om: I didn't like how it wasn't mentioned how much of a walk the car park was and it wasn't clear about the hill either - That wasn't fun to find out on the day. As I'm young and fit - the hill didn't bother me as I could manage it. But if you aren't great with hills, I would be aware of it. I also didn't like how rough the grass was, this poked a hole in the bottom of my tent. But over time I guess this will become softer. Other then that.... it's a perfect lil campsite.

Från föreståndaren: I'm really pleased to hear that you had a good time! The field is so dry that the spiky bits left over are really rigid but brittle. We've been discussing how to improve it. We've also been discussing moving the car park.

Tyckte om: - Gorgeous valley view of the fields and the sea. - alot of space available on the pitches. - Good value for money. -Friendly and helpful staff. Jessa was wonderful and very helpful, she helped us bring some of our things down unto the site. And made us aware of the fire pits and local produce such as eggs and sausages available.

Tyckte inte om: - The massive downhill leading to the campsite pitches. Warning on the description wouldve been helpful so that guests could bring maybe a 4x4 vehicle. Driving down to the pitches was an absolute no,, you will have to walk with all your equipment to the site. It's a 5min walk and completely doable but definitely not accessible if you have any mobility issues.
