The Experience

The Milking Parlour is the perfect retreat for a couple or two; find an airy living room, a private patio for sunny breakfasts, comfortable bedrooms with views over the South Downs and goose-down-topped beds to sink into after a day walking or cycling – footpaths leave from the door. Sandra loves welcoming guests and is on hand at the barn should you need anything. She leaves you a generous hamper with supplies for a continental breakfast – look forward to homemade organic bread, homemade granola and good coffee. On summer evenings, head straight out across fields to The Cock Inn for great food and local Harvey’s beer. You’ll find lots of great gardens and festivals to dip into at Glyndebourne (a few minutes’ drive) or head to Lewes for independent shops and cafés. The coast is within easy reach.

Reviews

Laura, Reading

My boyfriend and I spent a perfect anniversary weekend in the Milking Parlour at Little Norlington Barn. The place itself was wonderfully bright, clean, nicely decorated with a well equipped kitchen and the most powerful shower ever! Sandra was beyond welcoming and friendly and was unbelievably accommodating to our dietary requests. The private decking catches the morning sun and the whole place has an incredible view of the South Downs. We had the most relaxing weekend and would recommend this gem to anyone. Hopefully we can stay again! Thank you Sandra!


David, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

A perfect B&B experience in the Sussex countryside. First class accommodation in a converted barn, excellent breakfasts with plenty of choice. A wonderful hostess, Sandra, who made the stay so pleasant, who made you feel at home and who was great conversationalist. I would stay again.


Pauline, Bedford

This beautifully converted barn is a gem, and the jewel in the crown is Sandra - our warm and bubbly host. An amazing breakfast, locally sourced, with home made goodies like yoghurt, breads and granola, will send you on your way each day. On your return , as you sink into the sofas in the spacious lounge, Sandra is there with tea, cake and lively conversation. Come back after supper to a log fire then climb the twisty stairs and fall into bed. Perfect.


Simon, London

We stayed for two nights in the separate apartment which was beautifully furnished & appointed. Originally a milking parlour, it offers total privacy with the option of self catering (Kitchen included). But there are lots of v.g. local pubs. Your stay includes wholesome Continental/Scandinavian style breakfast with lots of home made organic touches delivered in person by Sandra in a plentiful basket. English Breakfast available in Main Barn on request. Isolation makes it great for star gazing & stunning sunsets. Easy access to Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings and all they offer. Host gets a 10!

  • The Milking Parlour at Little Norlington Barn, set in an acre on a tranquil lane, can be booked as 1 of 2 options: a 1-bedroom apartment for a couple enjoying a romantic break or a 2-bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms for 2 couples holidaying together.
  • South Downs National Park and the South Downs Way are but a few miles away, perfect for rambling and cycling, or explore the beautiful landscape of Seven Sisters, Cuckmere Haven and Beachy Head. For the adventurous, learn to paraglide or go gliding nearby.
  • Music and art: Glyndebourne opera is just two miles away, or immerse yourself in the homes, haunts and art of the Bloomsbury Group – Charleston Farmhouse and Virginia Woolf’s home, Monk’s House, are close by as is Berwick Church with its murals
  • Visit the historic town of Lewes 4 miles away with Norman castle, award-winning Harvey’s brewery, wealth of antique shops and independent cafes to stop and soak up the atmosphere. Take a trip to Brighton, 13 miles away, for The Lanes and the Royal Pavilion
