The space
Welcome to our delightful historic cottage in the heart of West Ashling, a picturesque village nestled at the base of the South Downs National Park. The pretty mill pond is just a short stroll away, and there are some lovely walks which start not far from the cottage. Feel like you have stepped back in time with the regular sound of passing horses hooves heading to the downs. Our cosy cottage has plenty of character with a wonderful fireplace with log burning stove, perfect for cosy nights in!

Ground Floor
Step into the bright and airy kitchen, overlooking the garden, where you can prepare meals whilst keeping an eye on the children. The delightful garden offers the ideal setting for a summer barbecue. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find the inviting sitting room and dining area, providing a charming space to relax with loved ones.

First Floor:
Head on up to the first floor, where two cosy double bedrooms await, one featuring a king bed and the other a double bed. The family bathroom, complete with a shower over bath, is conveniently located here. Additionally, there is a third bedroom with a single bed, as well an office room equipped with a desk and chair is available for any work needs.

Outdoor Space:
Step outside to our south-facing garden, basking in the sun's warmth throughout the day. Unwind and enjoy an alfresco drink amidst the peaceful surroundings. Enjoy the sounds of rural village life with horses hooves clopping along the lane on their way to the Downs! .

You will have exclusive access to the entire cottage, with professional management services ensuring cleanliness, fresh linens, and towels between each stay. Remote self-check-in allows for flexible arrival times, and our 24/7 guest support is available to assist you during your visit.

Upon arrival, complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits await you, providing a warm welcome after a long journey. We provide fresh white bedding and towels (one hand towel and one bath towel per person) and offer miniature travel-sized bottles of shampoo, shower gel, and soap. Additionally, a kitchen pack is included, featuring essentials such as kitchen roll, Jeyes cloths, sponges, washing up liquid, bin liners, tea towels, washing pods, and dishwasher tablets. Loo rolls are also provided for your convenience. Should you require more supplies, a Co-Op is just a few minutes drive away in Bosham.
