We had a great time at the cottage. The size is perfect for a 4-member family. The hosts are super welcoming and helpful. If there should be any problem, just ask and it will be solved. The Check-in was easy and perfectly prepared. Also the kitchen items were appropriate. You can even bake a cake. Everything is there. Also the tips in the welcoming folder were great. We used them a lot! We would stay there again any time.

Fantastic Property

What a fantastic property. Perfect for the my wife and I and 2 boys 9 and 16. The location is excellent, Brighton and Eastbourne easily accessible, and we took a trip to Thorpe park. The cottage is fully equipped and immaculate, even provisions supplied for when we arrived. This cottage will suit active and non active people, we all loved the tennis court, table tennis and darts provided fun in the evenings. A walk on the Common behind the cottage is a must. It is so serene in the garden. We loved the rabbits on the field leading to the property. I cant recommend this property enough. Great hosts and perfect property. Thanks

A comfortable house in beautiful setting

Andrew and Fiona were great hosts, friendly and welcoming and not obtrusive. Larch Cottage is brilliantly located for exploring Sussex- coast, Downs, Forest and more. Clean- well spotless. Comfortable and extremely well equipped. The walk in shower is ideal of those with mobility needs. Garden is quiet and leads into delightful common. Could not recommend more highly.

A great place to stay

Hidden in the back corner of their property this Vacation Cottage is a beautiful retreat from the real world. Fiona and Andrew are great hosts and will go out of their way to ensure your stay is a memorable one. Inside the cottage, Andrew has prepared a detailed booklet explaining how everything in the unit works, including reviews and instructions to find the local pubs, tourist destinations, and the train system. It is a great resource and you should take the a few moments to read it. If you are returning to the property in the early evening, you will be greeted by rabbits as they gingerly run in the grass along the drive way. This is a beautiful quiet spot, it is relatively easy to find, and it is along a nice road that will take you to the motorways. I highly recommend this vacation let if you are travelling and staying in the Southern UK, located only 30 minute drive from Brighton to the south, Crawley to the east and London about 90 minutes to the north. It is a centrally located property to start your day from with all the sites a short drive away. Thank you Fiona and Andrew for letting us stay in your Vacation Cottage. Fiona greeted us when we arrived and left us a wonderful chocolate cake for us to enjoy. As I mentioned earlier, it is a quiet retreat from the real world and a beautifully kept property that you are more then welcome to enjoy. Graham and Lisa

Comfortabele bungalow

Ideale ligging om streek te verkennen en vanuit het huisje over de 'commons' te wandelen. Spijtig genoeg hoor je het lawaai van de straat in de tuin. Tuin zelf is wel aangenaam en bungalow heeft voldoende comfort. Vriendelijke gastvrouw.

Ideal for our family

Ideal location for us, grandparents, son and 10 year old grandson, for our visit to East and West Sussex from Eastbourne to Portsmouth to see family and friends. Larch Cottage was modern, clean, comfortable and with everything we needed. Fiona couldn't have been more helpful, especially with laundry, food and wonderful chocolate cake. We wish we could have stayed longer than 3 nights!

Excellent accomodation with a neat and tidy enclosed garden

Enjoyed our stay which was helped by our welcome from Fiona and the thought she had put in to the items left in the accomodation eg cereals, milk, tea, coffee, bread etc as well as a delicious chocolate cake. The garden had direct access to Chailey Commons on which I enjoyed a lovely walk every morning. The property was ideally located for what we wanted to do which was visiting gardems, National Trust properties etc and we never travelled more than twenty miles from the property. A most enjoyable holiday.

Lovely new cottage in a peaceful area

This is a new superb 2-bed cottage, with underfloor heating and a powerful shower room! We all had a lovely stay and the landlord was very helpful, providing a few basic items on arrival including a yummy cake for the kids. The cottage is near a Common, great for walks.
