The space
I’m delighted to welcome guests to our cosy cottage in the heart of West Ashling, which is a pretty village at the base of the South Downs National Park. My cottage has original beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace which is perfect for warming up in front of on winter evenings. I’ve enjoyed furnishing it with ornamental accents and quirky furniture to create a charming cottage experience.

My Property sleeps 4 guests in 2 double bedrooms.

Ground Floor:

Entrance leads into the kitchen which is bright and airy and overlooks the garden. The kitchen can open on to the garden which is perfect for keeping an eye on the children when cooking and for getting things ready for a barbecue. The kitchen leads on to the sitting room/dining room area which is a lovely space for relaxing in with family and friends.

First Floor:

Upstairs has two double bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a double bed. The family bathroom is located here with a shower over bath. Also upstairs is an office room with a desk and chair.

Outside:

The courtyard garden is south facing and a real sun trap. You will spend many evenings out here enjoying an alfresco drink and making use of the charcoal barbecue. There is allocated parking for one car and plenty of free street parking.

My property is pet friendly. Please read and be sure you can adhere to the Pet section on ‘Other things to note’ before booking with your pet.

Guest access
You will have access to the whole cottage and garden during your stay. There is parking for one car on the driveway.

Other things to note
Parking
Is available for one car in the driveway but there is plenty of free street parking in the village if you need more.

      Disappointing the photos and description are deceptive, the cleaning score didn’t match what we found. The fireplace was. The fireplace was lovely but no kindling was left so had to buy our own. The lounge area was great and comfy sofa’s. The garden was nice and safe for my dog.. The second bedroom had NO storage - no drawers, no wardrobe, nothing! Also no mirror in this room, or the small room. The main bedroom was advertised as a king size bed it definitely wasn’t - it was a double and cheap spongey mattress. There were no plug sockets accessible for hairdryer use in the main bedroom except next to the bed which were 6 foot away from the mirror. There were a lot of cobwebs - kitchen, lounge, upstairs. The shower curtain needs washing or changing badly stained! The bottom step of the stairs is the same colour as the floor and the first step and stairs are carpeted so gives the illusion when coming downstairs that your down to the floor when your not subsequently I hurt my ankle as I slipped and so did my friend - dangerous! The kitchen tap drips very badly and is very annoying! Would be nice to have curtains or blinds in the kitchen as very exposed especially at night with lights on. Very unhelpful hosts I asked for an early check in and late check out and was told to ask on the day which we did and was told no they had to do an extensive clean! Well they obviously didn’t and no late check out which would have been nice on New Year’s Day ... Read full reviewClose

      We've had a lovely stay- nice to just get away from everyday life and only 1&1/2 hr away from us.. We've never been to Chichester before, the location was perfect to see the beautiful surrounding area. The kitchen had everything we needed even cling film which was very useful. The garden was enclosed and safe for the dogs. The cottage is lovely and plenty of room for us all (4 plus 2 dogs). ... Read full reviewClose

      A lovely break in a very pretty and comfortable cottage with all the amenities and a lovely fire. A really lovely cottage - beautifully decorated and comfortable.. Nothing really but I was concerned that u less you are really focussed on the shower curtain and making sure it doesn’t let water let out from when you are Hank g a shower, the surrounding wood will rot ...
