    Nothing could have been better.

    This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The views from the accommodation are breathtaking, the village itself is like a quintessential chocolate box type of English village. It is so close to Arundel for a day out but it's also a perfect place to sit and do nothing, watching the clouds drift across the rolling landscape. The accommodation was so cosy, warm, clean. Facilities were excellent, bed very comfortable and Caroline, the host was so friendly and warm. We really had the best time.

    The breakfast was excellent and the host was just lovely. The local pub does good food and is friendly, but we also really recommend sitting out on the patio with a glass of wine and enjoying the wonderful view.

    Nothing… before going I was a little nervous about no cooker, but it forced us to relax in the evening rather than slave over a stove like we usually do on holiday. There is otherwise a well stocked kitchenette with a microwave, and our lovely host provided a delightful breakfast everyday! Would definitely stay again.

    Calm and relaxing location, you can hear a pin drop of an evening. Stunning views over the fields. We enjoyed many a drink watching the setting sun and stargazing.

    no problems at all

    an idyllic retreat in the heart of the South Downs over looking fields and farmland. The most amazing base for walking, good pubs, nice food, relaxation. Amazing to feel in the middle of nowhere but a stones throw from bustling town of Arundel which has everything you need. Sitting on the terrace in the afternoon sun was delightful and being able to take many footpaths into woods or along the river from the doorstep was perfect. For anyone looking for walking or cycling in the most beautiful surroundings this is perfect.

    A bird watcher's paradise

    We wished we could have stayed for longer!

    A bird watcher's paradise! The views across the valley to Arundel Castle are spectacular, especially at sunset, and so are the birds you'll see - soaring red kites and buzzards, hovering kestrels and plenty of swans, pheasants, owls at night, and even a woodpecker on the bird feeder. We used the property as a base to visit nearby RSPB reserves Pullborough Brooks and Pagham Harbour / Church Norton as well as the Arundel Wetlands centre. It is a haven to come back to, super cosy (under floor heating, plus super long hot water bottle) and very comfortable bed, amazing shower and comfy sofa (facing the view!) Breakfast delivered in a basket every day, there's a fridge (with ice box) toaster, decent microwave and kettle, the local pub (The George at Burpham) is a 10 min walk away and does excellent food, plus there are plenty of restaurants and good takeaway options in Arundel (the Chinese being the best). Caroline is a fantastic and friendly host, nothing was too much trouble, she left us to our own devices but we really enjoyed her company and expert knowledge of the local area. There is a very useful folder of local walks in the property. Parking is off road in the courtyard.
