About this property

A Unique & Cosy Cottage, Nearby Goodwood Events! Large Gardens - Dogs Welcome!

This homely two bedroom house is a real retreat nestled near the South Downs countryside. It has its own sunken wood valley, orchard, tennis court & plenty of places for children to play & explore, making it ideal for families. The unique house is away from any neighbours & is surrounded by a large garden. It is in a semi rural location, with excellent access to the nearby historic towns & cities & beaches on the South coast. A unique, cosy retreat for a autumn/winters getaway with family. Excellent access to Goodwood Events including Goodwood Festival of Speed, Horse Racing and Goodwood Revival.

The whole property has recently been painted and is abundant with unique artwork on the walls. Central heating has also recently been installed so the cottage is cosy on those winter evenings - along with the fireplace, it is a lovely retreat!

The cottage is cosy and quirky. The space and gardens really open the house up and make it a great place for families to explore and enjoy time playing and relaxing.

The downstairs areas consists of a cosy living room which has a lovely cottage feel with a big open fire and plenty of free firewood that you are welcome to use. There is a dining area in this room with a large wooden table and chairs for enjoying family suppers or a board game or two.
There are three aspects looking out to the land around the property which makes the room a lovely light and comfortable space.
A large collection of books are available which you’ll be able to share and read during your stay. There is also a small TV for catching those unmissable shows and wi-fi.
The separate galley kitchen is well equipped for self catering families, with an electric hob, oven and dishwasher.
The cottage also benefits from a newly installed bathroom with a stand in shower, sink and toilet.

Upstairs, there are two generous bedrooms each with their own decorative fireplaces and secondary glazing. The master bedroom consists of a double bed and is very light and spacious. It has a newly installed toilet room and sink. The twin bedroom has two single beds and views to the surrounding fields and tennis court, letting in ample of light to the room.

There is an out building in the garden which has a table tennis table with balls and rackets available.

The tennis court is in need of resurfacing however it is great for a knock around - old rackets are available and balls however if you are a keen player please bring your own equipment.

The large, open garden which wraps around the cottage is what really makes this property.
It has its own orchard and we welcome guests to help themselves to the fruit from the apple trees whilst being considerate to other guests.

The grounds also include a sunken wood where you can explore but please ensure children are supervised as there is a steep drop.

Dogs are very welcome to stay free of charge if booked in advance. We ask that they remain off of the furniture. We provide dog treats, a water and food bowl and towels for you to dry them after a nice walk! Please note that although the garden is very large, it is not secure.
Long stays are welcomed (up to 30 days), making it an excellent option for extended visits.

enjoyable stay
The Dingle is an old cottage and it did smell musty however, once we were in and out this faded. Every effort had been made to make it welcoming with a large basket of essentials and even dog treats, and milk tea and coffee in the kitchen. The A27 runs directly behind the cottage so open windows - noise. The grounds are large and flat but not secure for dogs,I used my mobility scooter with my service dog on lead, however the tennis court was a massive bonus for poochy tennis!!! Situated with lots of local attractions for a holiday, we had come for a wedding so only spent three nights, it was worth the money. Thank you.

Two adults and one dog’s opinion.
Cottage was comfortable and had welcoming touches like dog bowl and treats for our setter. Grounds had wonderful rambling woodland hime to a bird of prey who swooping over at dusk. Whilst the house itself was close to the main road you couldn’t hear the traffic noise inside the house. We loved our stay.

Cosy cottage
Description was very accurate. Property was exactly what you’d expect from one as old as this. Clean and cosy. Tennis court a great bonus to keep kids occupied. Probably better for a couple or family of three but we’d definitely come again.
