An enchanting cottage in an idyllic corner of Chiddingfold. People return time and again – for the house (1545), the garden blooming with flowers, vegetables, hens and dovecote, the glowing interiors, and Sheila and John. The sitting room is inviting with rich colours, flowers, beams and a roaring log fire; the turning oak staircase leads to bedrooms that are cosy and sumptuous at the same time, and bathrooms with deep roll top tubs and a pretty armchair. Breakfast is a spread with homemade bread and home-grown tomatoes. Gorgeous countryside, walks on the Greensand Way… who would guess London and the airports were so close?
We stayed in Sheila's beautiful house for one night - six of us, including 2 young children - and she looked after us extremely well, even though it was the day before the village's Open Garden day, which meant lots of visitors coming! The garden was beautiful and we wished we'd spent more time in it, and we loved the freestanding baths too. Highly recommended!
