I was very impressed with the essentials left, such as toilet roll, kitchen roll, salt & pepper. I had brought things with me that I didnât need. The bedrooms are a great size and the master en suite was a very welcome luxury. The location is beautiful and very quiet. We were left to enjoy our holiday and we really felt at home. We were visiting family in Worthing, Rustington & Ferring so this was ideal as right in the middle. Not far from the main roads to Horsham, Brighton and Littlehampton. We hope to stay here again. Thankyou so much!

Nice sized rooms and well equipped. Good location for exploring the South Downs/arundel/coastline, and facilities of Worthing only 10 minutes away. A little tired cosmetically, some broken floor tiles and a bit of paint needed, but these cottages have a hard life, so understandable. Definitely recommended and would stay again.
