We loved our stay at Pump Cottage. The accommodation is cosy and compact, but is well-equipped and has been cleverly designed to provide ample space for two. The bed is very comfy and the shower is excellent. The outside space is beautiful and we will miss our evenings sitting in the gazebo watching for bats as the sun sets. Owners, David and CarriRead moree, are so kind and welcoming - keen to offer help if needed, but not obtrusive in any way. We very much hope to return. Hide

We felt this cottage was a gem. Firstly it was beautifully equipped but the two areas where it won us over were the friendly owners and that that they wanted to share their large garden with us and our dogs. The location meant it was easy to find good dog walks on the Downs (South Downs Way) and the River Ouse banks. Light sleepers might find the tRead moreraffic on the A26 to/from Newhaven affects them but we happily slept through on the comfortable bed. Hide
