Beautiful house in peaceful location
A beautiful old characterful house in a peaceful location and stunning views. So well equipped with everything you’d need and the garden is great with walks right on the doorstep. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean

Very homely, welcoming cottage with everything needed to settle in quickly.
A very characterful cottage with wonderful views and in a quiet location. We visited for a 3 autumn night stay and were warm and cosy and appreciated all the basic supplies i.e. Fire wood, kindling, tea, coffee, milk etc. Large garden and great outside seating. Home from home. Would recommend Half Moon pub/restaurant nearby.

ideal retreat
Perfectly peaceful place to stay, not too 'fru-fru' so ideal for dog owners with a very nice enclosed garden. Walks on the door step plus walk to the local pub!
we stayed a week with our dog and everything was perfect!

Perfect and peaceful weekend in a house which feels like home
Working and living in London can be stressful and sometimes I long for a bit of peace and quiet in the country with a chance to curl up in front of the fire, go for long walks, have time to read and think. Streatwick ticks all the boxes. A lovely house, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. A particularly well stocked kitchen for those who like to cook and crisp white bedlinen and very comfy beds for a long night's sleep. The owner, Eve, couldn't have been more welcoming. We didn't meet in person but all my questions were answered promptly and warmly, making me feel as if I was in safe and caring hands. We've already booked our next visit. Even if the weather isn't as hot and sunny as last weekend, it won't matter. The views will be just as wonderful and the fire just as inviting.

Large country cottage amazing views
Streatwick is an extremely well laid-out, thoughtfully furnished and practically resourced cottage. Everything is there, and placed where you might place it at home yourself, which is helpful. The bathrooms and bedroom are pristine. The fire was laid when we arrived, with a welcoming tray of teas/coffee and shortbread. The books and cosy sofas, local walks direct from the doorstep and the astonishingly beautiful views from the south facing garden and patio area completed our delight, We will be back. Many thanks to our our helpful host.

Gorgeous getaway in a perfect location
Our family had a lovely few days at Streatwick - just what we needed after a hectic Christmas. The cottage is perfectly located with glorious views over the South Downs and access to a wide range of footpaths and country walks. The cottage is very well equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. The beds are very comfortable and the cottage is warm and cosy with a lovely open fire. We will definitely be back!
