What a beautiful property, inside and out! The host / owner was incredibly nice, responsive and helpful. Serene atmosphere, calm & quiet stay, and the animals shown in the pictures are right out back! For colder months, the radiator heating was more than enough. If you'll need access to commerce (stores, restaurants, etc), I'd suggest having a car. Very highly recommend this property, and I look forward to staying again!

Short but sweet stay

We had a quick one night stay with an early departure to catch our flight back to Canada. We enjoyed a walk around the grounds, dinner at the pub down the street and a quiet night in. Emma was very easy to communicate with and helped us quickly with anything we needed. We enjoyed the sound of the birds in the morning. The sitting area is large but the minimal furniture made it a little hard to get comfortable, but overall a lovely stay with the English country charm we were looking for.

Lovely Apartment

Lovely, quiet area. Only suggestion would be to clearly state that this is an upstairs appartment. We are in our 70's and we had to be careful going up and down. Emma was a very gracious host!

A Superb Week in Sunny Sussex

We very much enjoyed our stay in the beautiful setting in the Sussex countryside just outside of the fabulous market town of Horsham. It’s a very spacious apartment nicely decorated and comfortable. Emma the host was always on hand if we needed anything but we didn’t as it was just perfect. We thoroughly recommend this property and its beautiful grounds. We were sorry to leave but will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by emma fraser

Host profile image
Having started my career in bespoke hospitality, providing functions in London's major venues and private homes in and around the City as Head Chef in an outside catering company, I moved on to a career in Education when my children were born. My interests were particularly in Special Needs, and my last post was head of a dyslexia specialist school in August 2019.
I have enjoyed refurbishing and renovating properties in and around London, and am interested in interiors, gardens and design.
I aim to make the accommodation as comfortable as possible for guests, whatever the purpose of their visit - and look upon my role as host as a combination of my previous careers, in hospitality and individual needs!
I am a keen gardener and hope you will enjoy the grounds - guests are very welcome to use the garden furniture around the property. We have friendly chickens and a very special, multi-generational family of Soay Sheep sharing the grounds and providing entertainment, as well as wild rabbits and the occasional shy deer visiting.
We look forward to welcoming you soon. E :-)
