The Cabin At Berretts Farm in Horsham

A great little rural yet cosmopolitan cafe that has friendly service and takes pride in what they do. Their Halloween display was top notch and this is the first time I've ever seen a place that serves a 'cappuccino' for dogs...

My first visit having cycled past many times. Located just south of of Henfield on the South Downs Way. Pleasant coffee and cake stop, undercover seating as well as uncovered. I am sure I will be back.

View is excellent atmosphere very good. A very good place for dog walkers

Awesome venue with lovely views. Coffee was good, we tried the carrot cake and the almond cherry bakewell, both were average and didn’t taste homemade but there were lots of other options which might be nicer. Very dog friendly and some portaloos at the back. Overall a great spot.

Banging coffee stop. Could not recommend more - delicious coffee, food and fab atmosphere. Sun was shining when I was here but there is a covered area for when it’s raining. Stop here and you won’t be disappointed!

Great place for a break when cycling or walking. Good choice of drinks and nibbles!

Good coffee, home made cakes (some Gluten Free). Portaloos.

Always great service, coffee and cakes.

The location of this pop up eatery is really amazing with expansive views of the distant South Downs, and a setting just off the disused railway close to Henfield village centre. Most of the time it’s a coffee shop popular with walkers and cyclists, but occasionally does an evening bar with street food food. The pizza was superb.

Amazing setting in a beautiful field. Coffee beans great, but barrista did not know how to make a flat white! Which is a shame because everything else was on point.

Delicious biscoff brownie! Yum. Beautiful day. Nice stop off point during a bike ride.

Great place for going for a coffee/drinks, with a nice view over fields. They have ocasional events (i.e. BBQ night, pizza, etc). Does not get a 5 as there’s no where to park, or have the greatest wheelchair accessibility. The cakes are average, not being an expensive place.

This is a lovely location in a field just off the Downslink path which runs through Henfield from Horsham to Shoreham. The carrot cake is very nice.

Beautiful view and a perfect place to stop and have a break. The setting is lovely and the food is delicious. Overall, a perfect place for a cup of tea. Only bad thing is it’s quite hard to find.

Always lovely coming here. Lovely friendly service and great coffee and cake. I particularly love the views.

We visited here recently, overall a nice visit the coffees and cakes we had were lovely and a very nice setting! However, the visit was dampened by a rather miserable and rude staff member. A smile and hello / thank you would have gone a long way in making the visit more enjoyable.

One of my favorite spots on a sunny afternoon. Perfect to pop into while enjoying the downslink. Lots of seating with lovely views of the South Downs. A great selection of sweet treats and tea/coffee and cans. Dairy free milk alternatives available, although they do charge which is my only negative. All in all, a lovely spot!

Lovely location, coffee and cakes nice, toilets not so nice. Some savoury food would be good.

Nice spot for a rest on the Downs Link. Nice cakes and coffee.

Lovely place to stop for a coffee and a delicious snack. Highly recommend the kinder Bueno rocky road!

I love coming here with my friend & our dogs you get to see beautiful views the staff are all ways friendly & it's dog friendly as well. all the cakes are always home made & delicious. But I do think they should do toasties or sausage rolls they would go down nice with the customers well done all the staff you all do a wonderful job

Really nice spot,great you can take the dogs.very friendly. Xx Great coffee and cake Would definitely go back.

Great place to walk to grab coffee and cake meet friends old and new dog friendly too

Friendly staff, great cake and coffee. Rustic set up but with fantastic downland views. Great for kiddie run around, bike parking, wc, bench seats and tables. Pumpkin shop in October. Fantastic coffee stop, love it wether walking or biking regardless of the weather. Highly recommended.

Even though it was pouring with rain the welcome and atmosphere was warm friendly !! All dogs played happily and all got on !! The pumpkin shop had everything I needed for Halloween !! Brilliant coffee and cakes !!

What a charming lovely spot. I went as part of one of their golden retriever meets and it was a lovely event. So many nice, well natured dogs, great coffee and cakes and a really lovely environment and view. Lovely to see someone doing something a bit different and it absolutely thriving. We’ll be back for the next goldie day.

The most amazing place to stop for a delicious coffee & snack next to the South Downs Link, whether you are a rambler, horse rider, dog walker, cyclist or runner. This is a small outdoor cafe run by brother & sister, Kieran & Emily with a great team of helpers, located in a field with a lovely view that opened after lock down. It has rapidly become a meeting point for locals & visitors alike for a delicious coffee, cake & natter and has just won 'Best Sussex Cafe' in the 2023 England's Business Awards. Its super friendly and dogs, horses & people are all welcome. They have regular specialist events showcasing local food, produce (they sell their own eggs), dog breed gatherings (most recently over 40 golden retrievers!) & a twice yearly arts/craft show. The decor regularly changes to match the seasons & different festive occasions. This is well worth a visit especially if you have a dog in tow. You and the dog won't be disappointed!

Friendly cafe on the Downs Link. Good coffee & rock cake. Will be even better if they get a stove and can sell bacon butties!

Hi I stopped there when doing the BHF London to Brighton charity ride and as before the tea and cakes were excellent. Can recommend the Bakewell slice thanks David

Great coffee and cakes. But the view is fabulous. Love stopping here on bike 🚴 rides

Delicious hot chocolate, the baked goods look yum too! Great destination for a bike ride along the Downs Link. Plenty of comfortable, spacious bikeracks which won’t leave scratches, as well as a surplus of seating. They have portaloos for public use, bins and snacks to fuel your journey. Thank you for your good service

Honestly, the best coffee this side of Naples! We are regulars. We’re also great fans of their cakes and locally produced eggs and hone. Regular appearances of the Gorrilla Pizza people always ensures our presence too - genuinely Italian-style pizzas which are ENORMOUS! They do veggie and vegan too. A great place for kids and dogs which can safely roam free as there is no road nearby. Just right beside the Downs Link and so fab for walkers, runners and cyclists!

It looks like a cabin in a field. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow 😋

Coffee great, all the cakes looked amazing I wanted one of each!

A spontaneous decision to cycle part of the Downs Link meant a few things were omitted from the rucksack… Coming across a sign saying ‘Cafe Open’ was a godsend, tasty coffee and a Bakewell Slice, together with a refill of tap water in my bottle made the ride much pleasanter. Friendly staff, lovely location, I’ll be back!

We enjoyed a selection of coffee and treats on Sunday, brilliant idea and the perfect place to relax during our bike ride, thank you, we will definitely be back 👍👍👍

Stopped after cycling on the downs link. As the weather was so good it was a stunning place to enjoy their bar selection. We stopped when the pizza van was there and had a relaxing couple of hours. The pizza was quick and tasty. It can fill up quickly from 1730 on sunny evenings so bring a rug to sit on. Really recommended.

Fabulous. Views, coffee, staff, cakes, not to be missed. A great place to stop just a short walk along the Downslink from Hollands Lane, Henfield, open every day during the summer from 9-4. Organised event on 24 June to raise funds for local hero.

Great outdoor space, coffee and cakes only i.e. no breakfast options.

Great stop for a mid ride coffee and snack!

One of the best places to stop and have a coffee on the downslink

Great place along the Downs Link for cake and coffee... would highly recommend the millionaire shortbread.. fab 👌

Lovely place to stop for tea and cake .

Lovely spot to stop off while out for a walk on your own or with family & the dogs, Looking Over beautiful views of the Sussex downs

This is a perfect place to stop off on the Downs Link for coffee and snack. They serve hot drinks, cakes, crisps and energy gels. The location is stunning.

Lovely views , coffee and cakes plus , happy friendly atmosphere. Super staff . We call it our "coffee club "

Really welcome stop on our bike ride today with great coffee, fab cakes and lovely views and friendly service. Couldn't wish for more! We will definitely be making a return visit!

Sitting outside in sun watching the clouds scud over the Downs is very tranquil. Just need a coffee and a cake to kick in a little more energy to help us on our way and here is perfect. Shelter if raining and very rustic. Cockerel filling the Spring air with a farm voice. Would like more food options but realise this is off grid.

Such a lovely place in every way. Everything about it is perfect! Our visit this time was on Mother's Day....they gave a bunch of daffodils with every order!!!

Good stop off for coffee and cake. Portaloo for convenience and ample seating with scenic country view.

So happy to discover this lovely cabin on the Downs Link near Henfield. Serving great coffee and delicious at a great spot in the countryside.

Stunning views while having a lovely bit of cake and cappuccino

Lovely steak and ale pie with mash and heavy supplies by Rushfields. Mulled wine, marshmallows and lovely atmosphere by Berretts.

A great place to stop for a quick or long drink and a cake on a nice walk. Very dog and bike friendly. Lots of seating and beautiful views of the South downs countryside. Look out for their special events. 9am most mornings is a great time for social dogs and their owners.

Lovely location. Good coffee, but disgusting cakes. Optimistically we’ve tried the cakes at least a dozen times and they are overly sweet, fatty and taste horrible. I don’t know why they don’t make them or buy from somewhere that knows how to make them.

Hot lovely coffee nice cakes gorgeous views while enjoying the above

Second time we have stopped off here for afternoon coffee on our way back from Shoreham on the Downs link cycle path. Great little place with plenty of seating, toilet facilities and fantastic coffee and cakes.

Nice place in a field. The cream tea used Cornish Cream and very nice French Jam. Pleasant. literally just off the Downs Link and convenient for walkers and cyclists

What a wonderful place for a pit stop when cycling. Coffee and cakes really good quality and setting just stunning. Very friendly staff. Loads of seating and great views

Very friendly team serving and great views. You must come and try it!

Normally drop into the Old Railway when cycling through Henfield but on this day it was closed so chanced this place. Friendly as it was there were no real savoury choices just loads of sweet sugary choices available so won't come back but the decaf coffee was fine.

Lovely place, although the Portaloo might not be to everyone's taste. Apart from on the cycle path I didn't see any advertising in the village which is only a few hundred yards away. I hope it does well, but come winter?

A very nice coffee shop situated in the country which is very dog friendly.

Top place to stop on the bike for coffee and cake

I have not had a tastier Eccles cake outside of Lancashire. Washed down with a delicious mug of vanilla chai latte. I always stop here when cycling the Downs Link.

Since we found this hidden treasure we often visit to enjoy some decent coffee and cake while the kids tare around the grass for a bit. We went to their anniversary late one afternoon in March and they had great craft beers and a superb pop up pizza van. The atmosphere is always welcoming and the sunsets over the field are worth the walk.

Awesome location, great coffee, massive cakes! Perfect!

Great place to go, with kids and dogs

Stopped here on a walk with friends. This is the first time we have found the cabin to be open as we don't tend to visit at the weekend and it was welcome news to discover the cabin is now open every day. It is a pleasant spot to sit at one of their picnic tables with a coffee and enjoy the countryside.

What a great little find on a ride on the downs link from southwater.Had a lovely coffee and bit of carrot cake that was a perfect size.Fantastic setting on a sunny day.The cabin will defo be our stopping point in the future....keep up the good work.

Fantastic coffee and super friendly staff! I visit this little hidden gem almost every week. Just can't get enough of it! They have the best coffees and the tastiest brownies in whole West Sussex. They do pizza nights too! Highly recommended! 👌🏻

Even in today’s miserable weather we received a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The coffee and cakes were as delicious as always and the view - though somewhat murky - never fails to impress. A great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Absolutely love The Cabin. With the most amazing countryside all around you. The staff are fantastic always friendly and happy to help. Great coffee, cakes and other yummy snacks. The perfect stop on a beautiful walk. Thank you guys you never disappoint.

Please don't support this miserable little set-up, staffed by cold, unfriendly, conceited staff. Not sure what they've got to be conceited about anyway; it's a small hut in a field. No warm welcome for their paying customers, so I immediately felt very uncomfortable. And then, when I asked to see the amount I was going to pay, because the card reader had no display screen, the bloke tutted, made a face, raised his eyebrows and very begrudgingly turned his screen round 180 degrees to show me. When I mentioned that I found his attitude to his paying customer very rude, he muttered 'whatever' and wandered off. I would have found this attitude utterly incomprehensible pre internet, and now with reviews widely available, I find it even more staggering that someone can care so little about customer service that he doesn't even pretend to make an effort to use common courtesy to avoid a bad review. Visited 3pm Sunday 3rd April 2022. Shan't be returning and I recommend you don't either, unless this scant regard for you and your custom doesn't bother you. There are many other very nice, very friendly pubs and cafés on the Downs Link as alternatives.

Friendly outdoor cafe with cake biscuits with hot and colds and good amount of seating with great peaceful view

Great location about 1 hr north of Shoreham if you are cycling the Downs Link and a welcome stop for cake and coffee. Great views, and sunny weather help the experience and good to see some proper bike racks for all the bikes. Did not stay too long as we were keen to keep moving but a friendly welcome and good service.

Beautiful views of the South Downs from the grassy seating area. Great place to stop on the downslink and nice range of teas, coffees and soft drinks. Toilet now on site! Well done

We have been going to this charming place for quite a while now, when walking with the dogs it’s in an ideal place to stop have. Coffee & cake ( carrot cake is to die for ) And have a well earned rest and catch up while the kids enjoy themselves running around. Staff are always very friendly, and you are greeted with a smile, well worth a visit you won’t be disappointed,

Since the Cabin opened I have watched it grow, expand and develop into a stunning little rest stop, fabulous coffee and the most amazing cakes and brownies with extras available for GF and vegans. Marmite cheese straws a big hit and the honeycomb brownies and...

Limited choice, and everything overpriced. They charge £6.50 for soup and a cheap supermarket white roll which wasn't even cut in half - the sport of rolls you can buy in a pack of four for under a pound. Herbal teas (in a bag) are...

Lovely place to stop for a coffee which was really nice. Great views.

Lovely spot to stop along the downs link. Good coffee and cakes.

I can see why it might appeal to walkers and cyclists on the Downs Link but found it too expensive

Friendly , welcoming , great meeting place ! Dog friendly , ideal for walkers and cyclists. Excellent coffee and selection of fresh snacks

Brilliant find whilst cycling up the Downs Link from Shoreham. Great setting and will definitely use again. Back here in February the place is even better and nicely done with under cover seating ,again brilliant views of the Downs

Stunning views lovely staff and great snacks. The Cabin is a favourite of ours, as a family we love to walk past and stop for a coffee and grab biscuits for the kids. They have a covered area with tables and a toilet, parking for bikes and free treats for dogs. They are adding new things all time, but currently have a selection of snacks including; biscuits, shortbread, millionaire shortbread, flapjacks and other similar things. But not generally any cakes. They always Include a vegan and a gluten free option. They serve good coffee and always make it well. My only criticism would be their choice of chocolate topping which is too bitter for some.

Had good coffee and a delicious slice of carrot cake. Definitely worth the break from cycling the Downs Link.

If you’ve missed this little gem, then you’ve missed out! A lovely spot with great drinks and cakes with a commendable local ethic. Always friendly service with a smile. I recommend if you plan a walk or ride on this part of the downslink that you add this to your agenda. You won’t regret it.

Ideally placed for a coffee stop on the Downs link way.

Great place to stop mid walk, fantastic views, great little cafe.

Definitely recommend the brownies!

Excellently placed on the South Downs route. Great choice and pleasant service, with an incredible view.

An oasis. Perfect for walkers/ ramblers, & also for others- short walk up a stony path to wonderful field, with benches with beautiful view to salve your soul. The Cabin has basic cakes/ coffee/ smoothies- delicious to enjoy in the open air. Highly recommended.

Fantastic views from the cabin of the Downs. Excellent cakes and coffee. Right next to the Downs Link so very suitable for a stop.

Had a lovely coffee here...an Oat latte. Nicest one I have had in ages. They had vegan flapjacks and shortbread but I was after cake cake.

A lovely cafe just on side of down link cycle route very well laid out to sit and easy to get to for local people. Only had coffee very good.

What a lovely little find. Happened to stumble across it whilst walking our dog. Small little cabin that serves drinks and cakes. Tables are nicely separated and hand sanitiser available should you want to use it. Gorgeous views, worth stopping by, just to show support if nothing else. Could do with marketing the place, because like us, I wonder how many others don't know it's there

Unexpected coffee stop on the Downs link

This place is a hidden gem of Henfield. They serve coffees, cold drinks and recently added smoothies, which are divine. They have a good range of cakes, highly recommend the millionaire's shortbread in particular. Mmmm. There are plenty of benches, and parasols when it's sunny....

Even on an overcast rainy day the cabin is a great place to stop off and grab a drink and bit of cake. Reasonably priced and they even do a loyalty card scheme Well worth stopping off at if you’re on the downs link and the views are lovely too
