About this house rental
PRIVATE POOL FOR EXCLUSIVE USE!!!
The Pool House is a recently converted, light, contemporary house which is quietly situated on the edge of Petworth and an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is only a short walk to the centre of the historic town, with its convenience stores, delis, many antique shops, independent retailers, gastro pubs, restaurants and cafes. It is also within easy walking distance of historic Petworth House and Park and the Shimmings Valley.
The property benefits from the sole use of a large swimming pool during the summer months (operates only from the end of May to early September).
Inside, the house comprises a large open plan sitting room with dining area and well equipped modern kitchen with granite worktops. There is a downstairs bedroom with kingsize bed and ensuite wetroom (and direct access down stairs to the pool and garden- only in the summer months).
Upstairs there are two more ensuite bedrooms, one kingsize bed and the other a double. There is a second sitting area upstairs too with a small double sofa bed. (There is an additional fee of £50 payable on arrival for making up and supply of extra linens if sofa bed required)
The house is furnished with contemporary furniture and fittings, with light oak flooring throughout. The beds are all very comfortable and the hotel quality linen has a very high thread count and is ironed by hand!
There is ample room to park up to three cars outside (additional cars by arrangement) and for the summer months only, a large well maintained pool and pool garden laid to lawn with flower beds and rambling roses. Modern and comfortable garden furniture, including six pool loungers and a dining table and six chairs, are provided together with a bbq.
Contactless checkin and out.
Enhanced cleaning/ disinfecting programme - detailed information will be available before guests arrival.
From the beginning of June until the end of September only weekly bookings from Fridays unless otherwise agreed.

We stayed at the Pool House only last week, and had a lovely time. There were 3 reasonably sized double bedrooms all with en-suite which was a real plus. The pool was large and well-used over the week! It felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, yet within a 200 yard walk, you were in the town of Petworth. The coast is within easy reach, our favourite destination being Littlehampton which we really enjoyed.
There were a few gripes (the TV could be larger, you have to walk through the downstairs bedroom to reach the pool, and I thought paying for pool heating on top of the cost of the rental was a bit much) but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property. Helene and Robert were also very nice and quick to respond to one or two issues that we had, but left us to our own devices the rest of the time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The property was beautifully appointed throughout with everything needed for our stay. The location is ideal, accessible to restaurants and stores as well as Petworth House, but also perfectly peaceful.
Carole was great to deal with both before and during our stay.
Highly recommended.

A very comfortable house, well presented with a relaxed feel. Great location for the South Downs and walking into Petworth including Petworth House. A well equipped kitchen also the bonus of all 3 bedrooms being en suite. Carole contacted us throughout our stay to make sure all was fine and whether there was anything else we needed.
Overall a very enjoyable stay, thank you Carole.

Carole and Robert are great hosts and have done all they can to make the property a high standard and very comfortable. The bed linen, towels and mattress are extremely high quality. To find a property with a pool is just wonderful. The garden is beautiful and such a relaxing stay away from London. Everything is close by with a 5 minute walk and I would love to return and rebook. They also made my dog Lou feel extremely welcome !
Wonderful hosts and a wonderful property - thank you so much !

Just steps away from all that Petworth has to offer.
The Pool House is beautifully appointed and very comfortable in every way. The hosts are very friendly and always on hand, living in The Old Rectory next door. This was our second visit and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

This is our first choice for stays in or near Petworth. We have stayed at this lovely little house several times and we plan to return. It has everything we need, is super clean and comfortable and it is just steps from the village and the park. The hosts Carole and Robert are very accommodating

Perfect little house in the ideal location for visiting Surrey/Sussex. An easy stroll to the local shops including our favorite place for morning coffee. Just opposite Petworth Park, so ideal for your morning walk. Walk or drive to several nice pubs.
The hosts Carole and Robert are very accommodating. We have stayed here several times before and we hope that we will always be welcome back.

2nd stay
This is our second stay at the Poolhouse. Carole was just as helpful and gracious as before Property is modern and clean throughout. Three bedrooms and three baths which is not the usual in England. Kitchen has everything you will need. Great walking location to Petworth town, Petworth Park and local footpaths. It has all we needed and then some. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did. Already booking for next year.

No hesitation to recommend
Lovely property in perfect setting. Very quiet but only moments from the shops, pubs and restaurants. Top quality bedding and very comfortable beds. Hosts are next door, friendly and readily available for hints and tips.
Didn’t quite make 5 stars overall as one or two things just let it down a little which was a shame. In no way spoiled our stay and easily rectified. Would definitely book again.

Family Get Together
Excellent property with 3 (!!!) en-suite bathrooms. Very comfortable beds & good kitchen facilities although the top cupboards are too high ( a small step stool would have been useful). The property is very well positioned to enjoy all the attractions that Petworth & the South Downs have to offer.

Great property, clean and well equipped very close to Petworth Estate, the town and its amenities.
We especially enjoyed the pool and spending lazy days in peace and quiet chilling.

An absolutely wonderful stay!
Many thanks to our hosts for offering our family such a warm welcome to their fantastic property. We enjoyed a much-needed break in the lovely, spacious, spotlessly clean and well-equipped poolhouse. Despite Covid-imposed restrictions, we had a very comfortable stay, with no amenities lacking (pristine bed linen incredibly good!) Our friendly hosts were always available to promptly answer any questions yet provided us space and privacy throughout our stay. An ideal location just a stone's throw from the shops and restaurants of Petworth and all that the National Trust's Petworth House has to offer. Thank you, Carole and Robert, for an absolutely wonderful week.

Extended Family Break
We booked the property mainly due to the swimming pool and the fact that it was in a location that we hadn't been to before.
The pool was lovely, despite the miserable weather we managed to swim most days.
The house is right in the centre of Petworth a really excellent position, you can walk to shops and restaurants which are all very good. Petworth house is literally across the road and is well worth a visit.
The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed, we had two adult boys who didn't want to share so one slept on the sofa bed on the landing which was fine but it is a shame that none of the rooms had twin beds rather than just doubles. The only downside we would highlight is that you have to go through the downstairs bedroom to get to the pool and the shower room with that bedroom needs mopping after every use and steams up completely as there is no window, the towel rail is connected to the central heating which isn't on during the summer so if you have miserable weather like we did your towels don't dry and it ends up feeling a bit damp. The rest of the house was perfect.
We would visit again and would recommend, the hosts live next door and were very helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this wonderful house, it’s a superb place in the most amazing setting with the most lovely hosts. The house was immaculate, a beautiful space for relaxing with everything you could possibly wish for. Our hosts were there if you needed them but very discreet otherwise. Petworth and the surrounding National Park is exceptional. Our deepest thanks to our hosts and their wonderful family for a never to forget stay!

Peaceful getaway in stunning surroundings
The property was immaculately clean, comfortable and well proportioned. Communication with the hosts was friendly and extremely prompt without being intrusive. The pool was fabulous and this part of the South Downs is great for walking, cycling and touring the beautiful villages. Overall, a relaxing stress buster of a week. Thanks so much Carole

Petworth 2020
The pool house is a perfect location as a base for the south of England. The owners are very friendly and answer all questions - we found the property really clean and maintained and wanted for nothing during our stay. The house was really well stocked with every appliance and modern utensils. The location was great for Petworth Park which was literally over the road. We would highly recommend this property to other potential renters..... Steve & Tracey
