Wake up in the heart of an English Vineyard
Award-Winning Sussex Bed & Breakfast
The Flint Barns are unique and historic buildings, located in the Cradle Valley, that lie at the western end of Rathfinny Wine Estate. We believe this is the perfect place to stay to enjoy the picturesque landscape of the South Downs National Park and the rich history of the area where coast meets countryside.
BOOK

"home away from home"
The barns have been lovingly restored with contemporary furnishings to house 10 en-suite bedrooms, offering beautifully appointed “home away from home” accommodation.


“A Napa Valley-style Vineyard on the South Downs” Chosen by The Telegraph as a chic place to stay for some Green Belt glamour.

TIME TO RELAX
Our Flint Barns Dining Room on the ground floor offers a welcoming restaurant and separate cosy lounge and snug, fitted with fireplaces. Outside, you can relax and enjoy a glass of Sussex Sparkling in our enclosed courtyard or atop of our open bank which overlooks the Vineyard.
