A charming flint cottage in a lovely location. It suited our needs perfectly and the owner was very helpful.Comfortable and spacious.The only improvement to make would be to sort out the water upstairs; the bath is fine, but the hand held shower is not!

Second visit!

Second visit to the property, Sara and Neville welcomed us back! Perfect little cottage for a base to visit daughter in Brighton. Would definitely recommend sunday dinner at The Swallows Return, its only about a 5 min drive away. Now planning the third visit!

A good time in Patching (West-Sussex)

We (my wife Machteld, our Tollerdog Auke and I, Lieuwe) had a good time in Patching (West-Sussex) in one of the French Cottages. Except for the shower who did not work, we had almost everything we needed. Especially the beds are very comfortable. Sara is a very good host and is able to tell you a lot about the local and regional history and about the places you can visit!!

Great cottage, great location, great hostess

The cottage has an awesome history. Enough space for a family of four. A great back yard to play in. The hostess, Sara, was super kind and had a lot of knowledge about the surroundings and history. Everything you can think of is available: a baby bed, a gate to close of the garden, enough cutlery, bottle opener, washing machine… everything! The location is super. We could travel to all castles and touristic locations within an hour. Would definetely recommend this place!

Base camp for exploring the area

All in all, we had a wonderful stay. Sara is a perfect host and makes you feel very welcome. Her knowledge about (local) history is almost encyclopedic and we're so glad we took her advice and visited wonderful Arundel. The cottage itself was exactly as advertised with a dining pub conveniently located within walking distance but we were very pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the beds. Everyone in our group slept like a baby right up until we were awakened by birdsong and could feast our eyes once again on the stunning country views. All in all, the perfect getaway !

Victorian Cottage Stay.

Pretty cottage with a garden. Overall was good to have space and facilities such as a washing machine. Cottage well equipped. Downsides for us were steep stairs, so difficult to get suitcases up there and no shower, which was an issue as mobility issues meant using the bath was impossible. (Would have appreciated an alternative of lighter weight duvet or blanket option, as it was extremely hot when we stayed. Also, a couple of fans would have been useful.)Parking space is very limited and a bit of a lottery as to whether there would be space for you - particularly returning to the cottage late evening.Maybe I should have read the property information in more detail! We could see the owner had tried to preserve the Victorian character of the property, but felt this had sacrificed making the downstairs living room more comfortable.Overall, an OK stay, but just not ideal for us.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul 2025
Thank you for coming to stay. It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband on your trip to England. We always make it clear to guests that if there is anything they need we are happy to help where possible. We however cannot sort problems out that we have not been informed of. We believe that the stairs are of a normal gradient for UK homes and are actually quite spacious. Parking is on a public lay-by or road and is always available very close to the property. All facilities are described or pictured in the property details. Items such as lighter, or heavier duvets, anti-allergy bedding and fans are available. Please just ask. The living room downstairs, is as shown in the pictures.

Wunderschön!

Wir wurden von Sara sehr freundlich empfangen, bekamen viele gute Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt und hatten eine wirklich wunderschöne Woche. Das Haus liegt sehr idyllisch, ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat einen traumhaften Garten mit Blick ins Grüne. Es ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht (z.B. auch Wanderkarten und ein Handtuch für den Hund :-), und die Lage ist günstig für Ausflüge zu den großen Seebädern und sogar nach London (mit dem Zug 1 1/2 Std.bis Victoria Station). We enjoyed our stay very much!!! Thank you very much, dear Sara!
