Great location and really enjoyed the views from the apartment. But disappointed by the condition of the property which needs some TLC and the small outside patio area

This property delivered much more expected. The location is so very peaceful and picturesque which is why we chose it. The addition of wildlife that are attracted to the large pond was a significant benefit to being there. Relaxing, peaceful, and with such a strong connection to nature. Its not often we revisit the same places but wed certainlyRead more make an exception for this. The owners are very helpful and friendly, too. Hide

Accommodation was excellent and just what we were looking for. Located in a quiet and peaceful area but within travelling distance of main facilities. Accommodation was very clean and tidy and equipped with all we needed.

We had a fabulous Christmas week in this lovely cosy lakeside apartment, with two friendly ducks, moorhens and Llamas in the next field! Fantastic facilities, comfortable bed and very well laid out bathroom, kitchen and lounge. Lots of storage cupboards to keep things tidy. Didn't get to use the pool as it was winter but that too looked fabulous ifRead more we get to come back in the summer. Very helpful and friendly host. Blissful Christmas to remember and only 20 minutes from good shopping in Horsham. Hide
