Attended a baking workshop and had a wonderful time. I am a novice baker and in the past have tried my hand at a few types of breads, and the results have always been very variable. The course has given me the confidence to try again and also to understand the science behind baking.

My daughter and I had a fantastic day learning to bake bread under Les?s guidance. We?ve dabbled in bread-making for a while but this course elevated our making to a whole new level! Artisanal loaves, spelt rolls, focaccia and French baguettes were all within reach and tasted heavenly. Les and Louise were both very welcoming, and the delicious lunch and refreshments were much enjoyed by all. We?re looking forward to putting our new skills to the test and baking more bread soon!

Went on a day course of bread making, and had an incredible day, learning so much, and making our own bread, under expert tutelage. The course runs at a gentle pace, and we went home enthused (clutching our 4 different breads we'd made) about not buying supermarket bread again. Made welcome from the moment we set foot inside (50 minutes early, by mistake) coffee and home-made biscuits, and the food we were served was wonderful, both at the coffee break, and for lunch. Definitely going back for more courses here. It's set in an idyllic position in woodland, and the rooms are laid out so well. We had a lot of laughs and it was beyond expectation. 6 stars!!

Thank you Les for what was an amazing and informative day at the Artisan Bakehouse. The introduction to Bread making course was excellent, you made us all feel very welcomed, you were extremely patience with us and I feel much more informed about the art of Bread making going forward. The lunch that was provided was again excellent, it was a wonderful day and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn how to bake their own bread. Thank you

We had a family holiday here & everyone from age 4-74 had the very best time.The cottages are beautifully finished & all the great things about country living are here: Old oak beams, an AGA, huge fireplaces, Beehives and oak trees dating back 100s of years.The Shepherds hut is perfect for a couple with a bed behind a curtain, wood burner and luxury hamper, it is just too beautifulWe took our children ages 4-6 and they all had a great time: Swimming in the pool, bouncing on the trampoline, swinging on the swings, and seeing what wildlife they could find in the surrounding trees.Les and Louise really thoughtfully left us fresh bread & fresh eggs from their hensWould highly recommend staying here !

Fantastic weekend away staying in the Baker?s Hut. The owners made us feel so welcome, there?s the endless Sussex countryside to explore, and the hut has everything a couple needs for a getaway. Would highly recommend a visit.

Magical weekend away at The Artisan Bakehouse. We stayed in the Bakers Hut which was beautifully designed, with a super comfy bed, sweet little kitchen with all the amenities you could need, and a spacious shower room. The welcome basket was such a lovely touch, filled with fresh bread, cookies, fruit, jam, & eggs from their chickens, reflecting our hosts attention to detail. Les & Louise made the weekend very special. They also recommended some fantastic places to visit in the area, including the Kinsbrook vineyards and the Chalk restaurant at the Wiston Estate for some incredible food. With some lovely walks through the surrounding bluebell woods and a picnic area & fire pit outside the hut, this really was the perfect place to enjoy the bank holiday sunshine. We hope we can come back soon!

We recently had the pleasure of attending a days bread baking course at The Artisan Bakehouse, run by the affable Les. From start to finish the experience was 5 star. Beautiful coffee and delicious home backed cookies to start the day, a well prepared 'classroom' with everything set up for the day, a fun interactive class all learning how to make three breads - including a DELICIOUS pizza that we had for lunch which came with a world class crumble. With bags of bread to take home at the end of the day, the experience continued to bring us pleasure as we stuffed ourselves throughout the week. Amazing experience in an amazing setting run by a wonderful couple. Thank you.

I had the perfect day learning how to bake bread properly. Les was the perfect host and teacher explaining everything simply and easy to understand. Louise provided a perfect lunch with a lovely vegetable lasagne followed by a perfect crumble and ice cream. I would heartily recommend any person to have a day at the bakery, whether an introduction to bakery or something more advanced. Brilliant.

I live locally and I have just spent a brilliant weekend at the Artisan Bakehouse to learn how to make sourdough bread with Emmanuel who is a brilliant teacher and the whole weekend was relaxed and enjoyable. I have been on many of the different courses and Louise and Les always make me feel welcome and the lunches are always delicious. If anyone is interested in baking I would recommend these courses without any hesitation, in fact I am already looking to book my next one.

An excellent workshop run in the beautiful and relaxing environment that is The Artisan Bakehouse. Les is a wonderful instructor, knowledgeable, informative and most of all patient. His enthusiasm for baking made the workshop a joy. The workshop itself was well structured, easy to understand, and gave plenty of opportunity to practice techniques that I will no doubt make use of again and again. A fantastic day that I would happily recommend.
