    "Excellent quiet out of the way place to relax, the only thing we found a little annoying was the loud noise of the hot water pump every time you turned a tap on."

    Other than that it's a lovely little cottage.

    "Calvin's Cottage is a fabulous place to stay."

    It is well equipped and beautifully decorated and the owners are really helpful. We stayed for two weeks, with our dog, and found it warm and cosy but also with plenty of space. It was great to access to the fields and lots of green space to walk the dog. We could not have been happier with our choice.

    Thank you so much for your amazing feedback . It was great to meet you and it was actually sad to see you leave . We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time in the cottage ! Property Owner

    "Having just been converted it was a shiny and new accommodation to a high standard."

    If you're looking for a quiet bolt hole for a romantic getaway then this is a nice peaceful location with the added bonus of the sound of two horses in the stables. The hosts were accommodating and helpful with any issues or questions and the home made gin and vodka was a nice touch.

    Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your short stay and the horses ! Property Owner

    It is stunning and has been beautifully done. There was everything we needed and more. It was a lovely surprise to have a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us together with home made blackberry jam in the fridge and home made blackberry vodka and gin. I would recommend this property 100%.

ARUNDEL, WEST SUSSEX

Worthing 8 miles; Goodwood 8 miles; Chichester 10 miles

A popular tourist destination for couples visiting Sussex, Arundel is a historic and picturesque market town. It sits just outside the South Downs National Park with the River Arun winding through it. The town is known for its thriving events calendar with independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants, cafes, delightful drinking spots and great attractions. Leisure pursuits include walking across the South Downs to canoeing, boating or cycling; there is something for everyone in Arundel! Arundel Castle is open to the public from April to October, whilst Arundel Cathedral stands majestically over the town and is open every day. This beautiful building is well worth a visit, but be ready for the steep climb up the hill and along cobbled streets. Within easy reach is the quaint village of Yapton, another historic location once thriving with smugglers. Within the village is St Mary’s Church, built around 1180 AD, along with local shops, pubs and a bespoke coffee shop all within walking distance. Climping Beach is a nearby, romantic and quiet pebble beach with an expanse of sand at low tide, perfect for windsurfing and dog walking. Less than an hour's drive away you'll find the cathedral city of Chichester, Brighton and the historic Portsmouth. Arundel is surrounded by diverse landscapes for the best of Sussex countryside and coast.
