Another very comfortable stay in this lovely cottage. Appreciated its cool interior in the heatwave this week! We have been three or four times now, which says it all. Great walks with the dog, two pubs on the doorstep and so many National Trust properties to choose from within easy reach. We love it here.

Lovely cottage in a delightful village. Very well-appointed kitchen, excellent gifts on arrival and great shower. Bed is huge, though the mattress is on the softer side, which is the only thing that would make me hesitate to rebook. Otherwise, it has all you need!

Fabulous week at the cottage. Close to where my daughter lives in Haywards Heath which was the reason for the booking. Lovely quirky olde worlde cottage but with all modern facilities. Courtyard was great for the dog and enjoying the late summer sun. Store next door and two pubs within two minute walk were perfect. Not on a through road to anywhereRead more so quiet village as well. Plenty of great walks, visitor attractions and country pubs nearby so thoroughly enjoyable week. Hide

A very well equipped cottage, with an exceptionally comfortable bed and very generous welcome pack! The location is excellent, though the parking can be tricky, but once you get used to it, it's fine! There's so much to do in the surrounding area that we couldn't pack it all into one week. We only tried one of the pubs in the village, but can heartRead moreily recommend The Crown for its ambience, food and friendly staff. Wish we could have stayed longer. Hide

This cottage is cosy and cute, has all the requirements needed. Beds are super comfy and there is a little shop with some essentials in, along with logs and kindling. However as a non driver and a vegan it did cause some issues. That's on us though. Location is perfect for dog walks and a good hearty country side pint in a local pub!
