Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with only a minor mention of cobwebs. The high level of cleanliness contributes to the overall luxury experience.
The location is generally praised for its beauty and proximity to local attractions. However, one review notes the road can be noisy, slightly detracting from the idyllic setting.
Comfort is highlighted with luxurious beds and linens, though one guest found the carpet uncomfortable. Overall, the property provides a comfortable and relaxing experience.
While guests are delighted with the facilities like the hot tub and welcome hamper, there is a mention of the need for a handrail for garden steps, indicating a potential area for maintenance improvement. However, there are not enough reviews discussing maintenance to provide a score.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through the generous welcome hamper, fresh flowers, and well-considered amenities. Guests should note that such personal touches, while common, are provided at the hosts' discretion.
About this property
Situated in a peaceful village at the foot of the South Downs are these two very different, yet equally beautiful properties, located next door to each other. The area has numerous walks to enjoy from the doorstep, two excellent pubs within walking distance and it's only a 30 minute drive to the coast.
1 Church Cottages and The Garden Room are two beautifully completed properties sitting next door to each other in the delightful village of Westmeston at the foot of the South Downs National Park. Although both have been finished to the same high standard, each has it's own individual style. This combined booking option is ideal for small family groups or couples holidaying together.
The larger property is 1 Church Cottages, an attractive semi-detached Victorian cottage with large open-plan sitting and dining room, a lovely kitchen with Aga, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cottage has a well-established, south-east facing garden perfect for outdoor entertaining with two seating areas, garden furniture and a gas barbecue. Next door to the cottage is The Garden Room, a detached single-storey studio with large, bi-fold doors spanning the full length of the frontage. The property features a large open-plan living space with kitchen, dining, sitting and bedroom area, as well as a separate bathroom. Underfloor heating runs throughout the property, keeping the studio comfortably heated during the cooler months. Like its neighbour, The Garden Room has a generous outdoor area featuring a large, south-west facing patio terrace, plenty of seating and a hot tub. The two properties are separated by a tall wooden fence with lockable gate that can be opened to connect the two gardens and allow access between accommodation.
The local area has many picturesque walks to discover. A real highlight for guests is bound to be the footpath from the front of the house that leads directly to The Downs. There are also two excellent pubs within 2 miles walking distance of the cottage, as well as an abundance of cafés, pubs and restaurants a little further afield in Lewes (6 miles) and Brighton (7½ miles).
The two properties can be booked separately as 1 Church Cottages (sleeping four guests) and The Garden Room (sleeping two guests).

The cottage and garden room were upto the usual Rural Retreats standard on the whole but I found the carpet uncomfortable to walk on with bare feet, there were a few cobwebs around and there needs to be a handrail on all the steps in the garden. The welcome hamper and scones etc were a lovely touch. It was great to have a hot tub too.
