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.

Bathroom essentials are provided so you can pack a little lighter.
