  • Pam

    The location was an easy drive to Goodwood. The area has good pubs and the Petworth House and Park were great to explore. The property is as described, so not the best for people who have problems with steps. A tall person might have to watch his head in the bedroom which has a sloped ceiling. Good place for a short stay.

  • Jonathan

    She also provided a wealth of information regarding local geography and attractions. I would definitely recommend this place and hosts to anyone considering a visit to the South Downs.

  • Chris

    Nice and quiet with awesome views. Easy reach of places to visit and some lovely places to eat. Jo and Stu were very welcoming and were the perfect hosts. Property was very well equipped nicely laid out. Bed was very comfortable ( slept Like a log). Every where was very clean and tidy. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly come back again. Well done!
