Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, with only a few mentioning the presence of cobwebs and the need for a more thorough cleaning in some areas. The majority of reviews, however, do not raise cleanliness as an issue, indicating general satisfaction with the standard of cleanliness.
The location is frequently described as peaceful and ideal for exploring Sussex, with easy access to both the coast and countryside. The tranquil setting and proximity to attractions are consistently praised, although the closure of a nearby pub was noted by some.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a cosy wood burner and a conservatory that is appreciated. However, several guests have commented on the softness of the mattress, suggesting that comfort levels may vary depending on personal preference.
The cottage is well-equipped according to guests, with a special mention of the powerful shower and good wifi. Some guests experienced issues with appliances and maintenance, such as outside lighting and underfloor heating, which suggests room for improvement.
While guests have mentioned a warm welcome and some basic supplies upon arrival, there are not enough consistent references to gifts or additional thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

We loved eating in the conservatory and enjoyed looking out at the wild flower meadow. There are many NT properties and other beautiful gardens to visit in the area. No need to travel very far.

The garden is a beautiful orchard where you can relax and read or just listen to the birds. The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome.
