The perfect location
West Sussex has stunning coastlines & natural landscapes, activities that connect the whole family, fun days, heritage & history finds, culture, shopping and seasonal food from local restaurants.
Its all on your doorstep...
Rubens Barn is the ideal base for hikers, cyclists and those wanting to be close to nature. As well as stunning views, nature lovers can soak in the vast range of diverse habitats that the surroundings cover, from ancient woodlands, river valleys, chalk grassland to mixed farmland and coastal habitats. The 'Star and Garter' pub is located along a small country lane 1 mile from the barn to finish off a perfect day, and serves excellent food.
