peaceful and comfort
Review Submitted: May 6, 2009
Date of Stay: April 2009
Our family has 5 persons: two parents, three children (14, 12 and 10 years). The boys slept together in the double bed (which was no problem).
The property is clean and comfortable. Was just redecorated, we think. Not very big inside, but a very large garden. Appliances and some furniture were new and very complete. We cooked most of our stay ourselves. Views are spectacular. You have neighbours, but the walls are so thick, we didn't hear them and suppose they didn't hear us either. It's very quiet, at night you hear owls, at day time the feasants. Very peaceful.
There's a book with leaflets of what to do and general information and suggestions. Didn't need to contact the owner further, but they live in walking distance. Big supermarket at 10 min. in Pullborough, found everything we needed.
We loved walking the public footpaths (we're dutch, we didn't know them): they wander through farmersland, blooming forests, small settlements. We did need our navigation system: you could get lost without it. Every morning we started with a walk and ended with a visit. Arundel castle is expensive but worth every penny. We loved also the Weald and Downland open air museum, Royal Pavillion (Brighton) and Bignor Roman villa. Found after a long search Cisbury Ring near Findon, good walking, wonderful views.
The cottage is a great place to stay if you plan visits in the surrounding area (plenty to see, watch the opening hours! some are closed on monday, others on thursday, friday or wednesday!) or if you want to relax and have a walk in the fields and forests.
And after a long day return to the cottage and start relaxing. Stress is far away, nature close by.
