Great location in the centre of Petworth - ideal for our Downs walking holiday. Really good quality bedding, mattress, pillows and towels.Kitchen well equipped but best used one at a time , a little tight.Great communication with our host Carole, very prompt and good responses .Only comment that we’d make is, it was ideal for 4 of us and whilst the 3 bedrooms were all good sizes, the communal space may have felt a little crammed for 6?Excellent stay

Charming property in ideal location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautifully appointed throughout with everything needed for our stay. The location is ideal, accessible to restaurants and stores as well as Petworth House, but also perfectly peaceful. Carole was great to deal with both before and during our stay. Highly recommended.

Just steps away from all that Petworth has to offer. The Pool House is beautifully appointed and very comfortable in every way. The hosts are very friendly and always on hand, living in The Old Rectory next door. This was our second visit and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

Just perfect and in the best location in Petworth

Perfect little house in the ideal location for visiting Surrey/Sussex. An easy stroll to the local shops including our favorite place for morning coffee. Just opposite Petworth Park, so ideal for your morning walk. Walk or drive to several nice pubs. The hosts Carole and Robert are very accommodating. We have stayed here several times before and we hope that we will always be welcome back.

Half term mini break

A very comfortable house, well presented with a relaxed feel. Great location for the South Downs and walking into Petworth including Petworth House. A well equipped kitchen also the bonus of all 3 bedrooms being en suite. Carole contacted us throughout our stay to make sure all was fine and whether there was anything else we needed. Overall a very enjoyable stay, thank you Carole.
