Some guests comments:
“Highly recommended, we had a great time”. "We had a fantastic stay. The house is really beautiful and has everything you could think you would need and more! Ruth is an amazing host and very helpful. During our stay we went to Goodwood racecourse and had trips into Brighton. It is easy to reach by train, Hassocks railway station is about 10 mins away but there is a taxi rank based there so very easy to get to."

We have lived here for over 25 years. We travelled extensively before settling here and absolutely love the area for it's beautiful countryside, lovely walks, lovely pubs and restaurants and country club but with easy access to vibrant Brighton and the sea.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love and with the cottage and couldn't believe we had found such a beautiful home. It has a wonderful garden with adjoining footpaths leading to the South Downs and it is great to be able to go for great walks without needing to use the car.
We are also very well located with London an hour away by train and close to Brighton and Gatwick.
The area has everything from beautiful country side, and pretty villages, close to the sea, the buzz of Brighton and so many activities - tennis, swimming, golf, riding, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing.

The local villages are a great pleasure to visit and enjoy their pretty cafés and interesting shops.There are some wonderful restaurants and cosy pubs in the surrounding area and a fantastic country club and golf club nearby.The short drive to Brighton where there are great walks/bike rides along the front,sailing at Brighton Marina or dinghy sailing and windsurfing at Hove Lagoon.Brighton has an abundance of cafes and restaurants,the atmospheric Lanes,theatre,cinemas,it's own wheel,and the pier.
