Emma is a wonderful host and her place is a peaceful oasis. After staying in London, it was so refreshing to stay in the English countryside. Horsham is close by, providing all shopping, dining, and city needs. The unit itself is comfortable, peaceful, and provides all you need for your self-catering stay. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cottage

We loved our stay in Emma’s beautiful cottage. It was perfect out in the countryside but a short drive to Horsham. We visited Royal Horticultural Gardens at Wisley and had a wonderful day there. We enjoyed our visits to the local pubs and restaurants in nearby villages. We’ll definitely be back to stay there again next time we’re in England.

A Delightful Retreat

The property itself is beautifully decorated and adorned throughout. A very welcoming and well thought out space to stay. Set in a very large, delightful garden of flowers, shrubs and fruit trees, the overall ambiance is very pleasing. The resident hens and dog also play their part and the Owner makes you feel immediately at home. - I would highly recommend a visit.

A wonderfully relaxing place to be. The accommodation is comfortable, clean, and very well-maintained, with plenty of space and views of the large garden from every window. A very conscientious host makes sure your stay is as enjoyable as it can be. The location is good for both countryside lovers and those who like a short drive into town. Highly recommended.
