It does have steep quirky steps to get upstairs but this was part of its charm! Barn was also excellent. Jonathan was very helpful and accommodating for our needs. The gardens were also wonderful. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03f54341-4bfe-4f05-98d4-424f0c9efa3b-1748850257754.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1481a7e6-4002-4dd2-bda7-0913cc4f0919-1748850257670.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alison P.

Lovely property with an absolutely gorgeous garden. Stayed as a group of 8 friends and really enjoyed the pool and garden. Lots of great walks nearby.

The property has old world charm with modern cons that blend well. Jonathan has preserved the 16th century character which made this property special for us. Our family of 3 generations from Australia absolutely loved it. We would 100% recommend it and hope to visit again. Thanks Jonathan for your hospitality & allowing us to experience your beautiful property. ##### Sandra B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tony w. 27 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful Christmas A wonderfully characterful property in a superb setting . It was the perfect place for our family Christmas - out of a film set. Jonathan was a brilliant and caring host who was available for anything we needed from the booking process until our departure...he was especially helpful with the supply of new high chairs , cots and even a baby gate ..top quality care and attention. Petworth specifically and the South Downs generally make for a beautiful location for venturing out from this lovely property . ##### tony w. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam K. 18 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming cottage with luxurious comforts The 16c house is quaint with sloping walls and floors, original beams and inglenook fireplaces. Sympathetically renovated with lovely quality finishing. The garden pretty, with lots of spring bulbs emerging and colourful chickens in a stable supplying fresh, warm eggs. Jonathan was the perfect host - attentive, thoughtful and generous. I used the pool, as yet unheated, for invigorating cold water dips, thawing out in a lovely, hot roll-top bath after with a view of the trees. Plentiful dog towels, a drawer full of dog treats and special shampoo should the need arise, very reassuring knowing Jonathan understands the needs of a holidaying dog owner so well! Great place to walk too, loads of footpaths, literally outside the gate, and the lovely Petworth for coffee and culture too. ##### Sam K.
