Make the great escape to this thatched barn conversion, surrounded by farmland fringing the village of Fishbourne and yet just three and a half miles from Chichester. Perfect for a fuss-free, multi-generational family stay (including a four-legged friend), there's a vast lawn outside for a runabout and a patio area (albeit a little tired) for evening barbecues. With no local amenities or public transport within walking distance, you'll need a car to get out and about. Make the historic harbour village of Bosham your first port of call – just a short drive away.

Home truths
Due to this home's remote location, you'll need a car to get the most out of your stay. There is a large gravel driveway to park in front of the property.
This home has stairs which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility, although two double bedrooms and two bathrooms are set on the ground floor.
Bathroom essentials are provided so you can pack a little lighter.
Some of the bedrooms have opaque glass windows, so the views aren’t the best.
Please respect our neighbours and keep the noise down between 10pm and 7am.
There is a small supermarket in Fishbourne (2.4 miles away) to pick up essentials.
