Lovely quiet location but also close to amenities. Cottage was very comfy and had everything we needed. Excellent stay

Great location for us. Bouncy castle really made the holiday for our 6 year old. Lots of room in the cottage and great facilities. Everything we needed for our stay. It was a nice touch that fresh milk and butter were in the fridge.

Spacious and well equipped

This is the second time that we have stayed at South Downs Rural Retreats. The cottages are on a working farm which is peaceful with great views. Silver Birch Cottage is spacious with a reasonably well equipped kitchen. There is a large walk in shower with 2 shower heads. Towels are white, large, absorbent and fluffy kept beautifully warm by a large heated towel rail. The bed is comfy with white linen. There is plenty of very hot water! The tv and wi-fi work well.

I felt that the ‘welcome’ was a little underwhelming. No one really came to say ‘hello’ or asked if we needed anything during our 3 night stay. There was a pack of butter in the fridge whereas for us a pint of milk would have been a more appreciated gesture after a long journey. Kitchen supplies were running low from the previous guests but extras such as kitchen roll were not stocked. I cook and the selection of pans and utensils are a bit hit and miss - what happened to the humble potato peeler? It is quite expensive to stay at these Cottages and perhaps we expected just that little bit more. In saying that this is a working farm and I appreciate the proprietor has at times other priorities.

the property itself was absolutely beautiful the location was amazing ! we had booked for a wedding within findon village and found this stunner of a property having my little girl with me the outside area was an added bonus where she could run around and let steam off.There was a sheep fair on in the village the day of the wedding which meant the taxi had issues getting to us the lady I believe called Emma gave us a lift down to meet the taxi she went above and beyond to assure we got there.The cottage it beautiful and had absolutely everything we needed.will definitely return soon :)

Stylish, clean, functional, rural, nice walks, close to town

we couldn’t stay longer

We loved the position of the property, Ash Cottage provided us with marvellous views. And we loved being able to visit the piggies. The family pets were just as welcoming :)

I wouldn't describe this as we "didn't like" would prefer this to be seen as some useful feedback. An aspect we found missing (though no big deal) was the lack of shelving in the bathroom to place toiletries, or perhaps a little caddy/basket in the shower area.

The host, the views, the farm. The host’s dogs.
