   "We had a super week in this lovely little cottage, and cannot wait to return. Mr and Mrs Graham made us feel very welcome, and their two children are brilliant. It is amazing how much has been made of the small space, but it is cosy and warm, and the bed is wonderfully comfortable. There are some lovely walks direct from the cottage, which is in the edge of a lovely wood, but because of previous heavy rain, we had to abandon the wood walk!!! The pubs are very friendly, and the food all good value for money, and dogs are very welcome, even offering treats for the dogs. The café in Borne Hill Gardens caters for dogs and owners if you like sitting in a run down, scruffy "garden" area, which looked more like a dumping ground for their old plastic garden furniture! On top of which, there was no shelter, and when it started to rain we were made to stay outside. So I ended up with soggy cake, and my husband's soup and our hot drinks soon got cold. We felt that as they were not very busy, we could have been offered a table right near to the door to the garden?Other than that, holiday was brilliant, weather was fine and warm, The walks were wonderful and the colours of the trees were amazing.We have returned home well refreshed, and relaxed.Thankyou for our lovely holiday."

   "Objectively nice place to stay. Clean, more spacious than some other cottages we have stayed in. Appreciated having a dishwasher. Great location for us near to nearby family. Thought the cottage lacked something in terms of atmosphere. As it was Christmas week, we would have appreciated some Christmas decoration e.g. small tree, which other cottages we have stayed in over Christmas have supplied (doesn't have to be much but adds to the ambiance). Would have appreciated some coffee (there was none) — every other cottages we have stayed in supplied coffee, even just a few sachets to get you started. Only discovered a few teabags (unsealed) stuffed into the sugar pot a few days into our stay (stained as they had obviously got a little wet at some point). Most cottages supply sealed sachets for tea bags or in a tea box/caddy that are obvious to find. Returning to a more positive note, the kids appreciated the gingerbread men and carrot cake. We went to the Pantomime at the farm, which was superlative. Other than this the cottage was cosy and warm."

   "The cottage is extremely small but adequate for a couple as a base. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is very narrow and there is no conventional oven. Using the hob which is on top of the microwave is a little awkward. The cottage is warm and cozy. The free wifi extends to all the rooms and is fast enough to watch catch up on the iPad. The owners are very friendly and the walks from the door for the dogs are to die for! Parking is right outside the cottage. There is no garden as such but there is a small area at the side of the cottage with chairs to sit and have a cuppa in the autumn sunshine. We had a lovely short break, lots of walking, dogs had a great time and we visited a local beach and nymans country house (only did the walk with the dogs not the house and gardens). We would return if we were in that area again."

   "We have just spent a fantastic week at S13862. On arrival we found tea coffee etc as well as a plate of home made biscuits, very thoughtful. The property is warm and comfortable and tastefully decorated throughout. It is very well equipped, making it a home away from home. The beach is a short walk away. And we enjoyed daily walks with our two dogs Lilly and Patch, the house is bigger than the picture suggests and there is room on the drive for two cars. It was a great location as we explored the south coast. The local pub is friendly too and welcomed out children and our dogs. We thoroughly enjoyed arriving back each evening to a lovely home which always had hot water to wash away the days adventures. The owner also supplied lots of information about the house and the local area which we found very valuable. We will be back"

   "the house was really nice and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for our stay. In the interest of openness I have to admit the living room smelt of the last occupiers (two dogs according to the guest book) the rug and the living area was also covered in dog hairs. Wouldn't normally be a problem but we have a 1yo who spends every minute exploring around the floor. The mattress in the main bedroom was really hard and it had a plastic sheet on which meant you woke up in the night in a patch of sweat. Other people have also mentioned the lack of wifi. It didn't bother me for the first few days but coupled with the lack of phone signal meant evenings got very boring. With the 1yo it's not like we could go to the local pub for a change of scenery."
