The cottage is well located only about 20 minutes drive from Fishbourne for the ferry to/ from Portsmouth, which took 40 minutes. There is a large Tesco supermarket and a Garden Centre close by, with good food served at the latter. The cottage was really well presented with a welcome pack of bread, milk etc. Towels for use in the cottage, plus Read morecleaning sprays etc were also provided. There is plenty of outside seating and a fire pit. Sky TV (if this is your thing) is also provided. Directions for the many local walks and to towns/ places of interest etc were given in a book which was very helpful. Nearest pub we walked to is about 2 miles away following bridleways. If you have dogs then you can walk them for miles if you wish to, across unspoilt countryside. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again. Hide

Absolutely wonderful. This property gives you the freedom from everyday life, and yet is fully equipped for all your needs. The peace and tranquillity of having a bath in the forest is amazing, it certainly regenerated the "Tarzan" in me, which had been missing for years!! We might take it for the whole of next summer!!
