The Old Dairy

We found the accommodation spacious, clean, fairly well equipped and the beds were comfortable.

However, the shower in the main bedroom needs repairing or a replacement, the entry door to the property is poorly fitted creating a noticeable draft. It would appear that there has been very little maintenance to the outside of the property, so much so that a shrub is seriously blocking the second bedroom window and the shrub outside the kitchen window could also be dealt with. The front of the property needs painting.

Unfortunatly the property had the same problems it has had for the past 3 years we have stayed here, the heating in the main bedroom does not work,the heating in the bathroom can not be turned down or off, the kitchen blind was broken, the lounge curtain pole fell down when opening the curtain,both toilet seats are very stained with urine and require replacement,the bedding was in very poor condition stained and torn in places, several light bulbs blown,remotes with batteries missing, shower head in bathroom broken,The drawer on the washing machine was full of black slime.

I spoke to the owner about some of the problems and he said he would come to see us the next day but didnt turn up or even have the courtesy to call us. some of these issues were present 3 years ago some 2 years but they have not been acted upon. The Old Dairy could be a 4 star place if all these faults were sorted but we can only give it 1 star.

Very good as always Unfortunately unable to book for the same time this yeat

We didn't go due to illness, so I've given the best as when we went the last time we gave excellent reviews.

But tried to get hold of sykes was a nightmare and gave up. Managed to send txt to owner and explained to him, he was very kind and understanding.

The Old Dairy has been our favourite place to stay in the UK for 15 years.

Our only disappointment was not being able to book it for longer due to availability.

Have stayed at The Old Dairy before.

Love the outlook onto the South Downs. Location perfect for us, visiting family and friends. When dry weather, great walking with the dogs. The layout of the accommodation suits us perfectly. The underfloor heating made it very cosy. Small suggestions:- would be good to have a boot scraper outside the entrance. And a tray inside for dirty boots and shoes. Hopefully we will return again next year.

We chose the Old Dairy as a base for our Geocaching week in the area and we were not disappointed with our choice.

The cottage is easily accessible from the A27 with great parking in a peaceful location. It is a warm, comfortable and spacious cottage and except for a corkscrew, more forks and a choice of a light weight double duvet or blanket it is well equipped. We've had a great week and will add it to our "return" list

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting.

Perfect for access to Worthing and surrounding area. All facilities in good working order with some recent improvements too which has further improved the experience.

The dishwasher didn't work properly and there was no welcome pack which would have been nice apart from some tea bags.

The information book was not obviously visible. Also although probably outside of the owner's control, the access road has many potholes which will need attention in the future.

Spacious, comfortable bungalow situated in a lovely village.

It's very peaceful in a beautiful setting surrounded by fields and woodland. Gorgeous sunsets. Great for dog walks. Garden is very secure. Central for many locations to visit. Unfortunately I agree with the previous complaints. A few tweaks and repairs are desperately needed. The decor is tired and needs a fresh coat of paint, some floor tiles are cracked and wobbly, difficult lock on the front door. And mould in the ensuite shower was very off putting. It didn't spoil our holiday. We loved the location and the lovely weather helped.

Lovely cottage.

Good location for exploring the Sussex area e.g Brighton. Enclosed garden good for children and pets.

A very cosy stay with great views across the fields.

It was lovely to not move the car and walk my dog in several directions each day

Would have liked a shelf in the shower for bottles to be easily to hand.

Front door would not stay shut without locking it.

Another fabulous two weeks at this great property.

Excellent relaxing rural location but with nearby connections to roads to towns and seaside. Great pub not far. and large supermarkets minutes away. Lovely country walks start at the door! Thanks, and here's hoping for another stay next year.

Lovely cottage with wonderful views.

Comfortable beds and lovely shower. Good internet connections. On site parking. Secure garden for children or dogs.

The old dairy is a lovely property in a brilliant location.

It was so easy to get to local places (Arundel, Worthing & Littlehampton). The place was lovely and clean & the gardening crew did a great of the lawn & surrounding area. The beds were really comfy. Will definitely be returning Our only (very small) negative is that it’s a little in need of some TLC, the front door is in particular need of work.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the old dairy, the views were incredible, short walk to the local pub, lots of walks for the dog, close to the towns.

The accommodation was comfortable and clean, couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. I can’t wait to rebook. Thanks ☺️

Second time we have stayed (last February for a week) unfortunately the cleanliness was very poor the duvet and mattress in the main bedroom was very badly stained and badly worn, one of the pillow protectors was also stained , although we stayed for 2 weeks there was no change of sheets or towels supplied, the blind in the bathroom is not fixed so falls down as it did last year, the shower door leaks once again as it did last year, the toilet seat in the bathroom is very badly stained, the oven was very dirty.

Overall the cleanliness was very poor and we were most disappointed. The heating system was not working in the main bedroom this was reported to the owner but we did say that due to the mild weather it was not a problem to us. Without these items being rectified we would not return for a third visit which would be very disappointing as it could be a lovely home with a little more care and attention.

This was a perfect home from home!

I was very impressed with the essentials left, such as toilet roll, kitchen roll, salt & pepper. I had brought things with me that I didn’t need. The bedrooms are a great size and the master en suite was a very welcome luxury. The location is beautiful and very quiet. We were left to enjoy our holiday and we really felt at home. We were visiting family in Worthing, Rustington & Ferring so this was ideal as right in the middle. Not far from the main roads to Horsham, Brighton and Littlehampton. We hope to stay here again. Thankyou so much!

Lovely cottage in a wonderful farm setting great for dog walks, will gladly revisit

Excellent cosy cottage however not as clean as usual and lack of cooking dishes.

We hope to book again in January for next Christmas 2025 for 4 and for family visiting for the day so would have a problem for vegetable dishes

Comfortable and clean and good value for money.

Nice sized rooms and well equipped. Good location for exploring the South Downs/arundel/coastline, and facilities of Worthing only 10 minutes away. A little tired cosmetically, some broken floor tiles and a bit of paint needed, but these cottages have a hard life, so understandable. Definitely recommended and would stay again.

The countryside view was agricultural land and this did not help with our breathing along with the underfloor heating which was not easy to change.

The kitchen was adequate - no scissors, only one tea towel.and the bowls too high to reach without standing on a chair etc. I expected better toilet seats, not plastic one that skidded all over the bowl. There was a dirty towel in the bathroom. I was disappointed that the owner never welcomed us - he was away in the fields and his wife was working. No note or anything welcoming. Having said that, it was clean and quite comfortable.and we had a phone number if we needed help.

Had a lovely time at the Old Dairy, the house was great, plenty of space and such a lovely setting.

Unfortunately for us the weather was bad with rain everyday but one. We would certainly recommend and would go again. The only one thing what needs to be sorted is the Wi-Fi we could get no signal at all. Apart from that a really lovely place, the dog absolutely loved it.

Cottage itself was lovely and in a great location for exploring and had beautiful views of the countryside.

Having stayed in Sykes Cottages before it was a shame not to get a welcome pack. Occasionally there was a smell of paraffin that came into bathroom and twin room. A screen on the family bath would be useful as water goes everywhere when using the shower over the bath. Hooks on backs of doors would be useful for hanging towels/dressing gowns, a shelf in shower to put gel/shampoo so you don’t have to bend down each time would be useful too. The biggest problem was that the outside rubbish bin hadn’t been emptied after last occupant and was crawling with maggots!!

Fantastic accommodation in an idyllic setting.

Easy to access. Well equipped. Extremely comfy beds and excellent amount of storage space.

This is a great property with lovely views but let down by a few things.

As someone previously said, the front door locks gets jammed. There is rust at the bottom of the shower pole and mould on the edge of the shower where the screen hasn't been finished off properly. This is supposed to be a grade 4 property but don't expect fluffy towels and comfortable pillows. We've stayed at many cottages in the past and this is the first time that there hasn't been a pint of milk in the fridge! By far the worst thing was the horrendous smell of paraffin coming from the back of the cottage. We couldn't have any of the windows open at the back of the property because of the smell, which wasn't ideal when we were in the middle of a heatwave.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with everything we needed provided at the property - one slight issue with the hot water was sorted within half an hour of contacting the owner.

Particularly enjoyed the walks from the property with our dog and good weather! We also found several charging points for our EV within a few miles.

Comfortable, quite spacious cottage in a quiet location with a nice open outlook across farmland to woods beyond.

We have had a really lovely week at the Old Dairy.

It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the countryside, while being ideally situated for access to Worthing, Arundel and Chichester. The cottage is comfortable, clean and airy. We would definitely use it again as a base in Sussex. Many thanks to the owners!

Just needs a bit of maintenance, front door lock keeps jamming, patio door wood swollen so couldn’t be opened, bad smell of paraffin due to fuel leak at the boiler ( the boiler is outside ), security light not working, some lights in the bungalow not working.

Saying all this the bungalow is very comfortable, and sits in a loverly position overlooking the South Downs. We would definitely would stay there again.

The Old Dairy was a lovely little cottage but seemed to need a bit of TLC.

The furnishings were of a high standard and very comfortable but the overall cleanliness let it down. There were large cobwebs in quite a few areas, the microwave had bean spots and the oven was dirty. There were only four spoons and forks so using the dishwasher would have been a waste of time. 6 lightbulbs had blown and not been replaced. The shower head holder needs to be fixed to stop the shower head drooping. The owner came to replace the broken rubbish bin and I mentioned a few of the problems. The fuse box door was taped up with black tape, he said it would cost £300 to replace so had left it. Not a good impression.

We had a lovely relaxing stay thankyou, just what we needed.

The garden was safe and secure for the dog. Everything we required. When we decide to come to West Sussex again will certainly stay here again.

lovely cottage very warm on arrival thanks to the underfloor heating being on.

Arrived a day late due to unforeseen circumstances and did email the owner but the email wasn't even opened. Had no contact with anybody during our stay but this didn't detract from the good time we had staying there. Very well equipped kitchen and really lovely hot water for bath's and showers. Will definitely return for another stay.

Very relaxing, clean and comfortable cottage.

Great for dogs and humans alike

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and already booked for next year

Shame no one came to say hello, or goodbye.

We never saw anyone all week. First time this has happened.

Excellent cottage lovely and warm , generous space good outside facilities and parking.

All facilities provided and in full working order. Plenty of storage space and work surfaces for personal possessions. All round excellent cottage

Great cottage, great location, but lacking in basic equipment, scissors, cling film, foil, miss match of glasses, there was tea and coffee and sugar, but no milk, Heating difficult to regulate, ( Could not shut heating off, thus costing the owner more money ).

we always, strip beds and put the towls in a pile to make it easy, but on stripping the beds, we found the mattress protector and Duvet, very badley stained, No cleaning products, to clean bathroon toilets etc on leaving,We always clean to cottage to the stansard we find, or better. The cottage info should state," Bring ALL you need for your dog"

Great cottage in fabulous location, a myriad of walks from the door offering views over the south downs and its wildlife including glimpses of deer and barn owls.

Coast just a short drive offering different beaches, from the white cliffs east of Brighton, past the busy commercial front in the town, down to the quiet seaside walks at Ferring. Something for everyone.

Our second stay here and as nice as before but we had lovely sun sets this time as the view from the patio over the fields faces west.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely week here in June, our small dog liked the garden and lovely walks straight out from the garden all around the lovely village of Patching.

The wonderful dry sunny weather was a bonus. There were plenty of gardens to visit, lovely countryside and the coast to enjoy. We can recommend the Old Dairy as an excellent base, very helpful owners, everything we needed was there.

Great location for dog owners.

Clean and spacious property.

The Old Dairy suited us very well.

Situated tucked away yet close to lots of places it’s a spacious comfortable well equipped holiday home. There are so many footpaths straight from the door so we walked miles with our dog. There are also 2 pubs within walking distance, we used the Fox and highly recommend.We parked outside of places like Brighton, Arundel and Worthing and walked to them via footpaths which was easy. Plenty of supermarkets around but did have to use car for that as not walkable( no milk in fridge on arrival so take some with you) but all in all loved this barn and would definitely stay again.

Pleasant stay but a few points - heating was only on in hall and main bathroom, windows in double bedroom were poorly fitting as was the patio door.

Not too much of a problem until the wind blew! Didn't see owners at all, might have mentioned the heating issue if we had, but did not seem to warrant a special phone call. Double bed also had some broken slats and plank on the floor.

A dream of a cottage!

The underfloor heating was wonderful. The setting was perfect. Ten min walk to a lovely friendly pub. Take away from the village delivers. Great walks from the front door. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Extremely roomy and comfortable.

Reliable wifi and the smart tv was nice. Lovely views over the field.

This was indeed a lovely place to stay and the dog had a great time too with so many lovely walks to chose from.

It suited us as our son was only 15 mins away which was a bonus. I would recomend it to any dog lover

Comfortable warm cottage in great location.

Ideal for dog owners as plenty of footpaths leading across downs…Will definitely be back…thank you for a lovely stay…

Very nice stay .

Comfortable and warm. Good location with nice restaurants near by. They dodgy enjoyed good walks from the cottage. S

Oven very dirty, a few cockroaches found around front door, welcome pack poor, no egg cups had to and buy some, no salt and pepper.

Needs a bit of TLC. Cottage very comfortable, location amazing. Unfortunately the weather was very bad so couldn't enjoy the walks as it was so muddy

We spent an enjoyable week at The Old Dairy .

The cottage was comfortable , spacious and fairly well equipped in the kitchen . A nice location overlooking the Downs and plenty of local walks for dog owners . Also only a short distance to the coast and interesting market towns .

Very nice cottage.

Lots of room. Been before and will go again as it suits our needs. Great for dogs but could do with an outside tap and hose to wash them down as it was muddy when we were there.

The place was large and had a great well fenced garden for the dog.

We felt that the place was in need of refurbishment. The windows where is need of re-lacement. One of the patio doors wouldn’t open. The bath did not have an operational hot tap. The furnishings/fittings well used, I.e. the lampshade in the bedroom was torn. The bedding was crumpled and did not appear to have been professionally laundered. We did not feel it deserved 4 ticks. We felt minimal effort was put on to welcome visitors. There was no visitors book for comments. No welcome pack. Not even a bottle of milk. We left early.

A lovely place to stay and relax with great countryside views.

Would definately stay again. The only thing is nowhere to put things in the shower, and as I went with my mum who is less mobile, a stool in the separate bathroom would have been good but we can always bring our own.

Lovely location.

Very peaceful with amazing views. Comfortable beds and plenty of room for 4 adults and a dog. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Lovely walks right outside the door. The property is in need of some TLC but nothing that really spoilt the holiday. One negative was general cleanliness. Bedding was clean and fresh and bathrooms had been cleaned but things like the sticky table cloth, corners of the rooms and behind doors, windows and walls were a bit grubby. Again nothing that spoilt the holiday, but little things that would of improved the experience.

A fabulous living space and location.

We were there for 3 weeks Very large rooms. Lots of storage space and comforts. Our 9 month old grandson came with playpen and other equipment and we still had loads of room for 4 adults with the baby. Easy parking. Great views and walks from the door. Close to lots of amenities and shopping. I had no trouble working with good WiFi available. We plan to stay there again.

Just returned from an enjoyable week and would recommend this property.

It was spacious, clean, recently redecorated with comfortable beds. Lovely quiet location with lots of footpaths going in all directions from the property which was ideal for dog walking.

Ants under the fridge on arrival .

No hot water for 15 hours , volumetric had fused . Front door lock kept sticking . Hot tap on the Bath broken . Dog hairs everywhere . No hoover.

Beautiful country location overlooking the South Downs, footpaths immediately from the property, great walking with the dog.

Comfortable property, well equipped, secure garden and easy parking. Loved it. Suited us and our needs. Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay at the Old Dairy.

Lovely quiet location within easy driving distance to the local area and sea. Well equipped and clean with a nice patio and lawned area to sit out in. Mr and Mrs Darby

Lovely setting and very comfortable accommodation.

Makes a great base for exploring the south coast. Cottage has all the basics and outside seating area to enjoy fabulous sunsets. Only issue was the vacuum cleaner did not work.

After a few hiccups we had an enjoyable stay.

We managed to contact the owner who quickly rectified any issues we had.

The property was of excellent standard and we enjoyed our stay and we would come again.

However, there were 2 problems: 1) One of the beds was broken prior to our arrival and my son had to sleep on the floor. 2) The hot tap in the bath was broken prior to our arrival so we had to use the shower.

Thanks to the owner we got our money back, but the worst birthday weekend ever.

Cottage not cleaned or beds changed from previous occupants, ended up in a hotel, with food bought to a self catering cottage going off in the car, more complicated because we had dogs with us to find any where to stay or eat, went home the next day although supposed to have been in the area for the weekend, been too traumatized to write before now but feel we should be compensated

The location of this cottage is wonderful, walking from the door onto the beautiful Angmering Estate, ideal with a dog.

We have stayed here before. It is warm and comfortable but does now need a bit of tlc... curtains hanging from the rail, several chipped plates etc... nothing to spoil the stay but could do with a bit of an upgrade in parts. We had a lovely time.

Really great place to stay!

I’m disabled and everything was fine for my disability so I think that you should include that’s plus!

Property was warm, comfortable and generally pleasant, and although there were a few issues with broken items, and some kitchen items that were not as clean as I would have liked, none that seriously affected our stay.

Beds were comfy, especially after a long hike along the local footpaths! Nearby Chanctonbury and Cissbury hillforts were a treat to climb, and getting the train to Brighton and Chichester for days out was nice and easy. Worthing was also a lovely seaside town to visit. Overall, I would book again, as despite the aforementioned issues, it was a lovely spot to stay in.

The cottage in Patching was in the country very quiet with plenty of wildlife around the farmer came to see if things.

We’re OK plenty of walks for the dog

The beds had very hard mattresses which we could not get used to.

The main bathroom shower tap valve was broken (only discovered on the last day). Otherwise the was well equipped and was superbly located for our trips to Goodwood and Brighton with a lovely evening aspect which provided us with an opportunity to sit outside in the evenings and watch the sun set courtesy of the beautiful late September weather.

A few little technical defects.

Patio doors broken. Unable to to properly secure the property. Several lights had bulbs gone. 2nd bedroom twin beds not very comfortable if used by an adult

Alex, the owner, was very helpful.

Cottage was in a very rural location overlooking cornfields. Plenty of room for parking and garden nicely maintained indeed. A relaxing place for a holiday.

We had a lovely week at the Old Dairy.

The cottage is so beautifully located in an extremely quiet position with a beautiful view across cornfields and local walks from the door. If I could say one thing, and it's about the local footpaths. Since lockdown, local people have been discovering and using footpaths in great numbers. That's fine, as long as they clean up their dog-poo, but the amount of dog-mess on the nearby paths was really disgusting. Could the villagers band together to press the local council to provide dog-bins. And shame the dog-walkers into using them.

Fantastic getaway, quiet, great view from patio and friendly passers by.

Some welcome information or a few basics would have been good even some milk.

The local information provided was very minimal. That being said the location and cottage made for a very relaxed and much needed break.

We found the cottage to be very spacious, clean and very comfortable.

There were plenty of paths for walking and a pub/restaurant within a short walk. The coast was only a short drive away. We would recommend this Cottage and we hope to stay again in the Spring of 2021

Greatly enjoyed it.

Missed all the info that's normally in holiday lets but appreciate why at this time. Perhaps online maps of local footpaths etc would be helpful. Hope to return next year. Sykes always our first port of call when booking holiday accommodation.

The slightly disappointing approach to the property is soon forgotten when you step inside to find a spacious, well-maintained, well-quipped and tranquil property.

There is good walking available from the property and many local attractions are within easy reach. Chichester, Arundel and Brighton are well worth visiting (we went to Chichester by Coastliner bus from Littlehampton and used the free Park and Ride on the outskirts of Brighton). Angmering and Finton are very pleasant to stroll around for a short visit and the walk (or drive) to Cissbury Ring takes you back in time. If you do visit Brighton, try the Baqueano Restaurant in Western Road; it was wonderful.

Beautiful homely yet spacious cottage.

It would have been useful to have had a map of the local footpaths among the leaflets provided.

Very spacious, clean, cosy and comfortable property.

Well-equipped. Ideal for a winter holiday in a semi-rural edge of village location. Amazing network of footpaths right from the front door. Short, medium or long walks in lovely countryside. Good views from Patching Hill. A short drive the other side of Arundel took us to delightful quiet country lanes, and to Barlavington Estate (extensive heathland walks), picturesque Burton Millpond and the glorious Duncton viewpoint (A285). Local villagers very friendly. Nearest shop (Co-op) Angmering very disappointing, but okay for papers, milk and bread.

Was an amazing holiday.

The cottage was brilliant, very cosy and well equipt. The owners were very helpful and responded immediately when called. Couldn't rate it any better, cant wait to go back

Yet again, we had a great Sykes experience!

I have booked all over the country and have been happy and never disappointed. This holiday was no exception. A peaceful and quiet location yet not isolated. Easy access to all local attractions. The cottage was, as with all Sykes, not wanting. If we needed a wotsit to finish cooking, it was in the cupboard! All sounds a bit glowing - so the one negative - the potato peeler was not great for lefties (me!).

Cottage badly in need of exterior decorating .

Not very well equipped inside .quite basic.Had problems with the main tv twice..Owner came quickly to try to put it right but people had had problems before,also not good WiFi signal.Have stayed in lots of Sykes cottages but this one was a little disappointing.

This cottage was perfect for our week long stay in this area.

Secluded and peaceful area, suitable for long walks around the immediate area. Lovely local pubs for lunches, drinks or evening meals

We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay at the Old Dairy.

Endless possibilities for walking our dog(mostly off the lead, even on the beach nearby!). The garden was nicely fenced for an escape-prone dog as we have... The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The view from the cottage over the fields never became boring. Nevertheless a few critical remarks: the outside of the cottage could do with some TLC (paint...), the gate needs some repair, WIFI was mostly very poor and during our second week the TV signal was strange enough rather poor, especially at nights! Since we had al lot of warm to hot weather with a lot of sunshine we could have done with an umbrella in the garden and perhaps a few sunbeds for the lazy moments! We'd love to come back to the Old Dairy!

What a lovely place to stay!

If you like a rural setting, peace, quiet and walks from the door, this is the place for you. As soon as we walked through the door we could tell we were going to have a good week; the place was clean, comfortable and very well laid out. It is an a great area with lots to do around and about but you don't really need to leave; the network of footpaths is excellent and there are two pubs within walking distance. Will definitely look at returning here.

Quiet location.

Outlook in front of the cottage is beautiful - fields and woods with a public footpath nearby which would be perfect for dog walking. Would definitely recommend this lovely cottage.

This cottage provided us with a home from home experience along with a beautiful view & peace & quiet which was perfect as I had brought my Mum & my Dad who has dementia and are in their late 80's here whilst they had essential work done at their own home.

The lay out was perfect as all on one level, it was lovely & warm and was equipped with everything we needed. They had a lovely restful week in a beautiful location.

Lovely place to stay.

Will be back.

A lovely cottage on the edge of the village in the countryside, a place you can relax in and can do several walks from the cottage on the local footpaths.

The local pub is very friendly and welcoming. We would stay again in the cottage.

A very nice property in a lovely setting.

Had all the facilities needed Inc washer/dryer, DVD player. The property was well equipped with everything needed for a young family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, but there are one or two things that would have given 100% satisfaction, as follows: 1.

No underfloor heating in the en-suite shower room - the very place where heating is needed. 2. No means of drying wet towels or clothes (eg heated towel rails or radiators) 3. No clothes hooks anywhere apart from those in the hallway. 4. The kitchen was well-equipped but the knives were all blunt and the vegetable peeler hopeless NB. These criticisms did not spoil our holiday but would have made it more enjoyable for a winter break like ours

We stayed at The Old Dairy for 3 weeks with our family (including 2 little ones) it was a great stay in a lovely quiet location.

Wonderful walking trails surrounding with views and very friendly locals. The house itself was very clean and comfortable and had everything you would really need. We also got a great couple of meals at the local pub (The Worlds End) and delivery of local Chinese right to the door. A couple of suggestions would be replacing the wifi as most days it would play up and it would not be accessible. Also, we had to buy some necessities ie Salt, pepper, soaps etc that we would have expected to have been supplied. Overall a wonderful location and property, we would definitely stay again.

Would have liked working locks on the bathroom doors, a visitors feedback book, which we have found very useful when staying at other Cottages and perhaps a bit more local information rather than a folder full of leaflets.

We were not able to access the promised Google Play and My Sykes App so could not find out more information before the holiday. If so we might have learnt that there was a DVD player, so could have taken our own DVD,s to make up for the lack of TV stations on the main TV.

We had a wonderful week at The Old Dairy.

We wanted to go walking every day and were spoiled for choice with the nearby woodland containing numerous footpaths and bridleways, National Trust parkland close at hand and the coastal area between Littlehampton and Ferring only a few miles away by car. In all cases the scenery was wonderful and we were lucky enough to be treated to some stunning autumn sunsets. Our only suggestion regarding the accommodation is that we would have expected to find liquid soap in the bathrooms and cooking items such as salt and pepper in the kitchen cupboards. We didn't think to take those. Given the chance, though, we would certainly return for another holiday.

A very comfortable cottage, cosy, compact, Great for walking dog, local pub very good.

We had a lovely holiday based in the Old Dairy.

It was very clean and well appointed, with all the equipment we needed for a successful visit. However, we do have one tiny niggle, which is more down to our age (into our 80s) than any fault with the cottage. We did find it very difficult to get up from the two leather sofas, as they are rather low, and wonder if it would be possible to include one or more easy chairs in the furnishings. The immediate area has many footpaths, and it might be worth mentioning this in your description, as it is a real centre for walkers.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage in a beautiful rural location but within easy reach of all amenities.

The countryside around is excellent for walkers and also dog friendly walking. Very relaxing holiday.

The Old Dairy was immaculate and contained everything that we needed.

Quiet situation, with dedicated parking spaces. It also had a wonderful, uninterrupted view of over a mile across farmland and woodland to the west - the evening skies were something worth watching!

The cottage fully met our expectations.

The cottage is located in beautiful countryside of West-Sussex with direct access to nature walks. We enjoyed our time from start to end and recommend the place for family holidays.

Dairy Cottage is set in the most tranquil location in the Hamlet of Patching surrounded by superb views of Sussex Downs ,numerous public footpaths wake to the sound of birds and watch the deer emerge from woods as dusk falls, sheer heaven.

The owner, Alex, rang me 2 days before the holiday and gave me his mobile phone number.

Therefore, when we had a problem opening the french doors onto the patio, I contacted him. He was able to come round and sort out the issue.

Had a few problems with heating,tv reception and general plumbing in the bathrooms.

but Alex the owner of the property was soon fixing it.lovely place to stay and nice location in sussex.
