Very well maintained and gorgeous little touches to make you feel at home. The owners were lovely and gave me space but were around for any questions I had. The area is beautiful, lots of lovely places to explore. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in this area who wants a comfortable, home away from home place to stay.

Large bathroom with a good shower over the bath. Lovely welcome pack. Spotlessly clean in a very quiet location.

always neat and clean and the 'little extras' are a bonus. Particularly enjoyed sitting with the half door open onto the garden right up to bedtime are there no midges in Worthing? Thank you Ian and Sue x
