We stayed at Saddlers for my husband's 60th birthday. We had all our family come to stay as there was plenty of space for all of us to have our own ensuite rooms. The house is beautiful, lovely decor, super clean and comfortable for 9 of us which is not always easy! Milly the owner was so helpful before our stay and gave us lots of great ideas of where to go and what to see. Along with a welcome hamper, there was even a card and cake for my husband! We had a really great time at Saddlers and would definitely return. ##### Alison H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayte H. 13 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### loved it!!! This house was at a great location and it was right in the middle of everything making it very easy to go places. Milly was a lovely hostess and the house was perfect for a large family. All the rooms were excellent and very clean. The sunny garden had ample furniture and beautiful flowers. The house had been well looked after and was in great condition. Had an amazing family holiday and would be happy to go back!!! ##### Kayte H. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee B. 3 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house The house was lovely - and the garden even better. A drive to the beaches in the area but that suited us just fine, lovely and quiet where we were. Everything was spotless when we arrived, and we were very lucky with the weather and had a week of being outside in the glorious gardens that surround the house. The only - and very slight - quibble was that the fridge was on the small side if the house was full to capacity - but then the week we were there was very hot so literally everything had to go into the fridge. Thank you for a lovely stay. ##### Renee B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judith B. 31 Jul 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house for family get together Spacious, comfortable house with lovely garden. Really good for our multi generational family get together. Easy access to many interesting places, especially Kingley Vale and West Wittering beach. ##### Judith B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon J. 1 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful property Great property, immaculately decorated and with so many unexpected luxury touches. Stayed here with 3 generations of the family and a dog. We never felt constrained as there was so much room in the house and the lovely gardens. There’s every conceivable utensil and appliance in the kitchen, and all the en-suite bathrooms were perfectly clean and equipped. Milly couldn’t have been any more helpful as a host, and even posted some items back to us that we’d left in one of the bedrooms. All-in-all, a fabulous property with loads to do just a short drove away, as well as pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance. ##### Simon J. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy C. 10 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful country home This is the first time we have been to West Sussex. The owner made us very welcome in her beautiful home. We arrived to a delightful hamper full of essentials. The house was spotless and immediately we felt at home. The house is set in lovely grounds and surrounded by picturesque scenery The house is in a great location, close to some beautiful was along the South Downs and not too far from some gorgeous beautiful beaches. The owner left a wonderful welcome pack with detailed instruction and also lots of places to go and visit. ##### Lucy C.
