We all loved it

‘ We all loved it, thank you all so much. Not just the space itself but the fantastically facilitative way you - between all of you - communicated beforehand and on the day.’
– Karen Dobres, Lewes FC
Light, airy and comfortable

‘ The Grain Store has been the perfect location for our team meeting. Light, airy and comfortable with more than enough space for us all to get together on the big table as well as plenty of nooks to break out for individual work. We enjoyed a fast and stable Internet connection as well as fantastic tea and coffee from the well-appointed kitchen and delicious sandwiches brought in from Stanmer Park. Just watch that you don't get too distracted by the amazing views over the South Downs! ’
– Claire Wills, Coolstays
Modern and cosy

‘ As I drove up the lane to The Grain Store, I was struck by the quiet, the rolling green hills and the huge open sky. The internal space is modern and cosy which worked so well for our meeting. It’s been designed with collaboration in mind and has multi-purpose areas, making it a very flexible space. The uniqueness for me was how The Grain Store allowed me to switch off from the city and focus entirely on the task at hand. ’
– Ayesha Murray, Executive Coach
The ambience is perfect

‘ This is an amazing meeting space with breath-taking views of rolling countryside. It’s truly a great place to hold meetings, workshops and courses. I participated in a workshop at The Grain Store during which we enjoyed the versatility of the space, from sitting in a circle, eating and cooking together. The ambience is perfect. ’
– Mire Patel, Prana Coaching
A perfect choice for my work

‘ In my work facilitating leadership teams, it’s very important that participants feel at home and can relax into truly being themselves. The Grain Store offers teams the space to do just this. The interior decor is stylish and comfortable and the location right on the South Downs Way makes it a perfect choice for my work. ’
– Simon Confino, Founder WE-Q
Our meeting at The Grain Store was beyond my expectations

“Our meeting at The Grain Store was beyond my expectations. The group was immediately comfortable in the space so we could start exploring topics quicker and got a huge amount done in the time we had. Cooking and eating together in the kitchen was great for the team. I just wish we had more time to get out and enjoy the incredible landscape. I highly recommend this place to groups looking to stretch their thinking and deepen their bonds with one another.“
– Russell Pocock, Group Leadership Capability Director, Accenture, Brand Learning
It was super-productive for me

‘ What a great place to think, broaden - and narrow - horizons, write, and breathe... It was super-productive for me. The Grain Store is a testament to remarkable craftsmanship and indeed taste - a genuine triumph. ’
– Jonathan Smales, Founder and Director, Human + Nature
Most days there is no better place in the world to be

‘ Heading out onto the Downs for either a walk or a bike ride is always something to be savoured. There is something about the landscape that is always appealing. The rolling topography and views both of and from the Downs are spectacular and once you’re up on the top you can go East or West for a day’s excursion. Most days there is no better place in the world to be. ’
– Ian Lock Leadership Consultant, Executive Coach and Author
