Kaunis mökki sijaitsee palkitussa kylässä

I will definitely be back to this wonderful location and lovely property. Very comfortable, with excellent facilities, all modern and clean. I could always get a speedy wi fi connection and mobile signal.

The hosts were very helpful and friendly without being intrusive and the clever design of the property and grounds allowed privacy. The village and surroundings are so beautiful and there is an interesting history trail. West Dean is also close to many places well worth visiting, such as the New Forest and Salisbury, Stonehenge, Old Sarum, Portsmouth Historic Ships etc.

Off road parking was useful too, as I only used my car once in two weeks - the train service is so regular (station just around the corner). Only 10 mins to Salisbury, 15 mins to Romsey and just over an hour to Portsmouth on the train.

I'm only disappointed that I haven't discovered it before!

It's not a cottage but is an annexed part of a larger house and is described as a studio. It was really quite small and consisted basically of a bedroom cum kitchen and an en-suite. We had just arrived in the UK after spending almost two weeks travelling by air and through Italy so we had far too much gear than would really fit in. We also had a mountain of laundry to do but with the nearest laundry facilities in Salisbury we ended up doing some hand washing and buying a drying rack to hang it on. That would probably not be a problem for UK based holiday makers merely seeking a week away in a rural setting. The lack of cell-phone coverage was more important, however, because there was no land-line in the cottage. Reliance on the public call box outside by the side of the road might not be entirely appropriate. Overall, however, we found it to be very clean, well maintained and with excellent amenities.
