Nice even off-season

Cap'n Chris Lisbon, Portugal
Review Submitted: December 7, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
Greatly enjoyed a short break in November '08, despite fog & cooler weather. Property is charming & very nicely furnished, so we even enjoyed simply sitting by the fire & viewing old videos one rainy evening! Central location allowed for daytrips to Stonehenge/Salisbury and also Warwick Castle/Stratford-upon-Avon, and even London. Pub in Stoke Row (Cherry Tree Inn) is very good & just 10 minutes away (by car, which is pretty much essential). Hope to return in summer for Chilterns walks & boating.

A peaceful retreat

The four West Sussex
Review Submitted: November 17, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
The cottage was lovely especially the stable area in the main bedroom ! It was clean and well-maintained . There was a very welcome tea tray in the well fitted out kitchen .
The cottage was cosy - we stayed when there was a sprinkling of snow but we were very warm . The stove was easy to use and added a little extra ambiance .
The countryside around was beautiful ; we went in the autumn when the trees were dropping their leaves and the wooded areas were lovely to walk through .
We saw the owners on the last day and they were very friendly and helpful .
If you are being picky we did find it a distance to get anywhere ie Oxford , Seer Green and we did not find the local shops/pubs walkable .....but that could be down to us ! Perhaps we walked in the wrong direction !!
We also found it a little stange at first to have the shower room connected to the kitchen and living room but that soon ceased to worry us !
Generally we were really pleased we had chosen it and would recommend it to others .
