Guests say
Rose Cottage is a charming and well-equipped retreat in a picturesque village, offering stunning views of the South Downs and direct access to scenic walks. Guests praise its comfort, cleanliness, and cosy atmosphere, with many highlighting the lovely garden and proximity to a welcoming local pub. While the cottage is ideal for couples and dog owners, those with mobility issues should note the steep stairs and uneven paths. Parking is on the road and shops require a short drive, but the peaceful setting and thoughtful touches make it a delightful base for exploring the area.
Multiple guests describe the cottage as very clean, tidy, and immaculate, with no negative comments regarding cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, direct access to walks, and peaceful village setting. The only minor drawback is the need to drive to shops.
Guests consistently mention the cottage as comfortable, cosy, and snug, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. The steep stairs may be a concern for some, but this is clearly noted in the property description.
The cottage is described as very well equipped, especially the kitchen, and suitable for dog owners. Some mention the garden could be better maintained, but overall facilities are highly rated.
Several guests appreciated welcome gifts such as wine and biscuits, as well as a generous welcome package. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

A lovely cottage. Perfect size for two people and with a lovely garden although it would’ve been perfect in summer (we went in March). The pub opposite is great, and local farm shop not too far away. Around a 20 minute drive to Brighton. We’d love to come back! Thank you for the welcome wine and biscuits too.

2nd time staying at Rose Cottage in a matter on months and it won’t be the last! Beautiful quaint little cottage in the most incredibly scenic village. Literally on the foot of the South Doens and you can walk straight from the property up to the aspens and along Devils Dyke. The property is immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. Also the local pub serves great food and is very dog friendly.

Great location with walks straight from the door and pub a few minutes walk away. Shops and restaurants are a drive away. Beautiful views from the cottage (if the weather is kind, which it wasn't always for our stay). The layout is great with a large dining kitchen. The internal steps might be a little steep for some guests, but this is mentioned in the description. The garden is lovely but the weather wasn't conducive to sitting out unfortunately.
