A wonderful break

The property was in a wonderful situation, a beautiful, peaceful outlook onto fields which we walked across to visit the lovely farm shop. The cottage was cosy and comfortable and our little one really appreciated the toys and high chair provided. Alison was really friendly and helpful. We had a really wonderful three nights, thank you.

The stables

Wow !!!!! we loved the peaceful atmosphere of the property, right in the middle of the countryside surrounded by nature, it had everything and more inside from a well stocked kitchen/diner and comfy beds. We had family come to visit and there was plenty of room and the host was really lovely. We also brought our six month old puppy with us too and he loved it .

A lovely relaxing stay in our converted stable/barn

We stayed in this comfortable rustic barn conversion with south facing patio and glass doors overlooking the woods and fields for over 2 weeks. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. Comfortable lounges and beds. It was a short drive to typical English villages and the South Downs Way - views from Devil's Dyke were breathtaking and the restaurant/pub there superb! Petworth was a standout destination with lots of history and marvellous little shops. Alison was our perfect host - so friendly with lots of local knowledge. She gladly provided extra towels for our unexpected guest and nothing was too much trouble for her. A wonderful stay.

Christmas Getaway

We had a fantastic time at this property for a one off Christmas getaway. The property itself was beautiful, the photos really don’t do it justice! Alison even decorated for us, which was a lovely touch and made our stay feel extra special. Alison was very responsive before our stay in answering any questions we had, and was always available during our stay (even though it was Christmas!). The only small problem we had was regarding the oven fan which didn’t seem to be working. We did let Alison know and hopefully this has been fixed now, but something to check if you are planning to cook during your stay. Overall a gorgeous place which we would highly recommend!

Perfectly located

The Old Stables is the perfect base to explore the South Downs and nearby coast. The property had everything we needed for our stay. We were unaware that there was a studio flat above and some of our neighbouring guests were a little heavy footed.

All I could ask for

The best get away place I could ask for. It was absolutely perfect break for me and kids. So quiet and public footpaths perfect for tranquil walks. The owner is the nicest person you will meet and my kids loved the stay. The cottage has everything you need and I was making 3 meals a day without any issues and actually really enjoyed staying indoors as the place is just so wonderful. Definitely will be coming back.

Family Time

We had a great few days at the cottage. There was plenty of space for 4 adults (mum, dad and kids of 21 and 18) and 2 dogs. The cottage was well equipped and the light into the kitchen/dining area was fabulous all day long. Alison was very friendly and answered all our enquiries quickly, both before and during our stay. It was an easy journey into Brighton and to the University of Sussex. We also went along the coast to Worthing and visited Arundel which was stunning. The walks from the cottage were also worthwhile with the dogs.
