2 bedroom self-catering family-friendly cottage on a working farm in Sussex

Step into the fascinating history of Dairy Byre, our Visit England 4-star Gold Award winning cottage that once served as Woodshill Farm’s bustling milking parlour. Here, generations of farmers hand-milked cattle before storing fresh milk in traditional metal churns for collection and distribution to surrounding villages – a charming reminder of simpler times when farms were the heart of rural communities.

This cottage sleeps four guests and celebrates the building’s agricultural heritage whilst providing every modern comfort. Original features tell the story of farm life through stunning split vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and traditional stone and brickwork that create an atmosphere rich in authentic character.

Contemporary amenities blend seamlessly with historic charm. The fully equipped kitchen features modern appliances including dishwasher and ceramic hob, whilst the comfortable living space offer relaxation after countryside adventures. Two well-appointed bedrooms – including a king-size master with en-suite – ensures a restful nights sleep. This cottage is the perfect family retreat in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
