Nicky and Peter introduced themselves and answered all our questions. There are sweet outdoor spaces with great views. It's cosy and the one-track road makes you feel right out in the country.

This lovely cottage was just what the four of us needed. Located down a lovely country lane, the Stables is close to many attractions-and good pubs. The kitchen is well-appointed, with sn excellent coffee maker! This is perfect for those who love the English countryside. Our hosts, Nicky and Peter, were most welcoming and helpful.

Lovely Cottage
This cottage had 2 double bedrooms and 2 shower rooms. It was very comfortable ,clean and well equipped.
The weather was warm and sunny so we made a lot of use of outdoor seating area to relax and dine.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The surrounding area is so peaceful, with lots of trees. The South Downs is nearby, as are several gardens and stately homes to visit. We had a wonderful relaxing week. Thank you.
