Charming cottage with luxurious comforts

The 16c house is quaint with sloping walls and floors, original beams and inglenook fireplaces. Sympathetically renovated with lovely quality finishing. The garden pretty, with lots of spring bulbs emerging and colourful chickens in a stable supplying fresh, warm eggs. Jonathan was the perfect host - attentive, thoughtful and generous. I used the pool, as yet unheated, for invigorating cold water dips, thawing out in a lovely, hot roll-top bath after with a view of the trees. Plentiful dog towels, a drawer full of dog treats and special shampoo should the need arise, very reassuring knowing Jonathan understands the needs of a holidaying dog owner so well! Great place to walk too, loads of footpaths, literally outside the gate, and the lovely Petworth for coffee and culture too.

A wonderful Christmas

A wonderfully characterful property in a superb setting . It was the perfect place for our family Christmas - out of a film set. Jonathan was a brilliant and caring host who was available for anything we needed from the booking process until our departure...he was especially helpful with the supply of new high chairs , cots and even a baby gate ..top quality care and attention. Petworth specifically and the South Downs generally make for a beautiful location for venturing out from this lovely property .
