A family weekend in Sutton
The Tractor Shed was the perfect retreat from the chaos of a multi generation family weekend. While the younger family members camped we enjoyed comfortable beds and a leisurely cooked breakfast with the farmer's eggs.

Warm welcome and lovely stay in South Downs
We had a lovely stay in the Old Tractor Shed. Toni and David were very welcoming and the accommodation was perfect for our stay. Lots of lovely walks from the door. Plenty to visit and see locally and not far from the sea.

Lovely Stay in Sutton West Sussex
The Old Tractor Shed is comfortable, very well equipped in an idyllic location with lots of lovely walks nearby.
The White Horse Inn, a gastro pub serving tasty food is a 5 minute stroll away.
Our hosts Toni and David were friendly, helpful and always available to answer any questions.
We plan to return next year subject to availability.

Super Sutton
We had a super holiday in wonderful Sutton, a quiet nook in the South Downs National Park.
The Old Tractor Shed is a perfect country idyll away from life’s hurly burly.
Our hosts, Toni and David, were charming and most hospitable.
We will be returning!

Good location in Sussex
We very much enjoyed our stay at The Old Tractor Shed - the owners were nearby for any questions, and checked in on us to make sure everything was OK throughout the week. We didn't need to use the logs, but can imagine it would be even more cosy with the wood burner going! Lots of space to spread out, in both living and bedroom areas. We visited nearby Chichester (the only day it rained), but there's an easy walk from the door to the Roman Villa with mosaics. The gift of ham and eggs was yummy, and we even went home with some home grown rhubarb! Would happily recommend.
