A charming flint cottage in a lovely location. It suited our needs perfectly and the owner was very helpful.Comfortable and spacious.The only improvement to make would be to sort out the water upstairs; the bath is fine, but the hand held shower is not!

Victorian Cottage Stay.

Pretty cottage with a garden. Overall was good to have space and facilities such as a washing machine. Cottage well equipped. Downsides for us were steep stairs, so difficult to get suitcases up there and no shower, which was an issue as mobility issues meant using the bath was impossible. (Would have appreciated an alternative of lighter weight duvet or blanket option, as it was extremely hot when we stayed. Also, a couple of fans would have been useful.)Parking space is very limited and a bit of a lottery as to whether there would be space for you - particularly returning to the cottage late evening.Maybe I should have read the property information in more detail! We could see the owner had tried to preserve the Victorian character of the property, but felt this had sacrificed making the downstairs living room more comfortable.Overall, an OK stay, but just not ideal for us.

Quaint Peaceful Cottage

I love this cottage. Sara, the owner does such a good job of giving information about the cottage's history. There is even a binder with extensive additional information about the property. I love period dwellings so this was right up my alley. The cottage kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to make your own meals and the garden to the back of the cottage is beautiful. It's dog friendly so that was an additional bonus for us.

Sara is a lovely host who genuinely takes care of her guests. The house was clean and throughout very wel taken care of abiding the Covid rules. Sara is there where needed but not overbearing. The only thing missing was a shower but other than that it is pretty much perfect. Would recommend!

Half Term break

A very comfortable and cosy cottage, with everything we needed. It was ideal for the dog, with no carpets to worry about muddy paw prints downstairs, and good walks from the door. A good selection of walk books was in the property to help plan some lovely South Downs rambles, too.

Lovely place for a break

We had a lovely couple of days at this cottage. It was perfect for 2 adults, 2 children and our dog. Good walks straight out of the front door and really easy access to dog friendly beaches so we could soak up the sea air. Sara was really helpful and friendly. We would definitely return.

Lovely, traditional !8th C Sussex cottage - the simple pleasures of life

Most charming and hospitable hosts - Sara goes out of her way to ensure that one receives the warmest of welcomes and her cottage is a most agreeable place in which to stay. Very simple and traditional in its furnishing, but all the better for that/ It transports one back to the era and charm of The Railway Children (sans Jenny Agutter, alas) and feels deliciously English in a manner that is all but lost in most comparable houses. Surrounded by rustic beauty but exceedingly close to many of the main attractions of the Sussex coast. A delight in every regard.
