“Perfect as a base for wedding preparations”

Reviewed 17 Oct 2018

Beautiful large house with clean, well-equipped en-suite bedrooms. Perfect for bride and bridesmaids to prepare for the big day. Large grounds to unwind in afterwards. The hosts, Ruth and John are on hand to answer any needs should you require. I would imagine it to suit large family who are looking for a base for holiday. Recreational equipment all supplied to keep all members of family occupied. A rare find and fully recommended.

“A lovely house in a great location”

Reviewed 3 Mar 2017

The house was lovely; it provided lots of space for a large family gathering. It was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was so helpful that each bedroom had a bathroom. The table tennis table was a big draw; we would have loved to have used the patio table, overlooking the lovely garden, but perhaps a bit of an ask in February! The location was great. We were in Brighton in less than half an hour. It was nice to walk across he fields towards Albourne. We had a lovely time and we will be back sometime in he future.
