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."

Our second stay and we plan to return
A beautiful, characterful house in a beautiful location. We were a group of 6 friends but it would work equally well for a larger number - it was well equipped and had plenty of bathrooms. The owner was nearby and very friendly and helpful.

Christmas break
We were nine adults comprising my wife and me and our children and spouses plus my brother. The house was ideal for our needs with plenty of living space for and a well equipped kitchen to prepare some quite complex Christmas meals. The living room was perfect for our gift exchange on Christmas Day and had been decorated with a Christmas tree which was a nice touch. The location was peaceful, and great for visits to Brighton and Devil'sDyke but close enough to Gatwick to be able to pick up two of our party who flew in from Spain. On bad weather days we were quite happy to stay in and remain cosy. Overall we were all very happy with our stay and would gladly return providing our numbers don't increase to exceed the capacity of the property!

Perfect for group celebrations.
This property was just perfect for 10 ladies celebrating some big birthdays. There's not many properties that can provide 10 single beds (if required, check property details as can also be doubles) with 5 bathrooms, which was just perfect for our needs. The grounds are beautiful, we even managed to play rounders at our age, and the local Vineyard is within walking distance, as is a Spa with a great restaurant for Sunday lunch. Slight hiccup at the beginning regarding getting in due to a lost email, but resolved quickly and the host is nearby to resolve any issues and was very helpful before and during our stay (Thank you Ruth). If you're looking for peace and tranquility in the countryside, but also want to have fun without disturbing the neighbours then this is the perfect house. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.

Charming Country Getaway
We enjoyed a 5 night stay at the cottage as part of a celebration for my father-in-law’s 75th birthday. It checked off everything we wanted - idyllic picture book cottage, lovely gardens and well equipped kitchen. Most importantly we planned to use 5 bedrooms and wanted each guest room to have access to their own private bathroom, whether en-suite or down the hall. For our early June stay we had great weather and spent much of our daytime hours at the garden table. We cooked up a storm and enjoyed family dinners in the dining room each evening. Daytime activities included a round of golf at Singing Hills Golf Course, a visit to Nyman’s Gardens and an afternoon wine-tasting at Bolney Winery. The hosts live in a separate house on property and were delightful, helpful with great communication. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we highly recommend booking this beautiful home for a small family gathering or even for a couple looking to escape for a few days to West Sussex.

Beautiful house in a beautiful spot
The property was in a wonderful location with fabulous views. Very comfortable with plenty of space for 7 adults, it was also very well equipped. We would happily recommend it.

Beautiful historical cottage in quiet rural location
We had an absolutely lovely time here as a group for a long weekend of nature walks and art and games. The best thing about the house itself aside from the feeling of history is all the little nooks and seating areas - it was great for having various activities set up in different places (board games, watercolour painting, etc) and still feel like there were spaces for people to curl up with a book or take a nap. Very cosy while still having plenty of space. Perfect place for a family or group with all the bedrooms and bathrooms. The house and the location were both so relaxing - stepping out into the garden in the morning and just being in the countryside was wonderful. Also, Ruth is an excellent property manager - onsite but in a separate building with great communication when we needed. We will definitely be booking again!
