We chose to stay at the Lodge at The Lake House as we were attending a festival nearby. We loved the location in the West Sussex countryside in beautiful grounds and away from main roads.

Hard to find something that we didn't like.

Not included but the host provided tea/coffee, fruit and the most beautiful fresh eggs from her chickens

Location was stunning. Very special to be able to take our cups of tea in the morning down to the tranquil lake walking through the wildflower meadow. There's also a high quality sheltered tennis court on site, which (if you check with the owners in advance) is effectively for your private use. We didn't even get round to using the rowboat on the lake, next time! Lodge is comfortable and has good facilities (powerful hot shower, modern cooker/fridge/sink/microwave/kettle and lots of good quality pans + crockery). Owners left some treats out for our arrival. There's a village shop nearby which is well stocked, including fresh fruit/veg.

Bed was on the short side for me (6'2"), perhaps consider a lighter duvet in the summer.

The hospitality

Sellf catering. Beautiful location in owners garden, with huge lake. Peaceful. Direct access to walks including the West Sussex Way.

Nothing.
