Really great with loads of character whilst modern and well equipped.Amazing inglenook fireplace.Comfortable beds.There is a pub next door which was handy!Wood definitely recommend.
This was the perfect spot for some real R&R. Lovely cosy cottage, with additional accommodation on site if required; great walks and pubs close by, but if you're looking for a busy highstreet, this probably isn't the spot for you.
Beautiful property for a special family get together for my husband's birthday. Amanda left a card and some real ale for my husband on our arrival! Such a thoughtful touch. We had everything we needed and Amanda was very helpful and very fruendky.
Lovely welcome gifts

Comfy sofas in room with wood burning stove
Board games available

For the first time in some years the immediate family came together to help us celebrate our Golden Wedding & visit old family haunts. This accommodation really hit the spot on every level for our family. With its spacious rooms everywhere, we were very comfortable and all our needs were met.
Renovated property in Surrey countryside. Very comfortable with quality bed linens and towels.
We were going to a wedding with our adult children and it was a perfect place for the 6 of us.
The house worked really well for us and the location was perfect for the wedding we attended over the first weekend of our stay. Also easy to get the Hampton Court Show as well.
The house is well kitted out and all the appliances and fittings are top notch. Particualy enjoyed watching Wimbledon on the large tellies! Didn't have a chance to have a BBQ - maybe next time!
Lovely big property , everything was perfect would highly recommend , beautifull location, great pub next door but you would not know it was there , very quite and great food and friendly staff .
Amanda was lovely and very easy to communicate with . Would defiantly stay again . Thank you for a lovely family weekend .
Lovely, well appointed property. Really nice kitchen and living space with outside patio.
Three king size bedroom, all with own bathroom makes it ideal for 2-3 couples.
We’ve stayed in Ockley over Easter, a family of 5, of which two kids (6 and 9).
The house was just perfect for us. Well located, clean, spacious, well equipped, … we had anything we needed to have a great time!
Communicating wit Amanda was always very friendly, supportive and super fast.
We will definitely come back on day.

Would highly recommend. We had a great week here with 4 kids and 2 adults.
The property is stunning with plenty of space for our family of 5, a great outdoor space backing into fields with plenty of walks. Local pub right on the doorstep. Amanda the host is lovely and couldn’t help us enough. Highly recommend.
Luxury cottage in rural area. Top value for money!
We had a great time with 6 adults in this luxurious cottage. Fully equipped with everything you need. Top quality, clean and comfortable. Quiet with sunny terrace and garden. Private parking behind the house and friendly pub next door.
Highly recommend !
Thanks Amanda for a wonderful time and we'd love to come again!
Just 5 little comments for improvement:
1) unfortunately we received the wrong directions to the wrong flat and spent 30 minutes trying to find the keysafe and get into the house. Amanda husband kindly drove to find us and sorted everything immediately.
2) we had problems with the door locks. Probably our incompetence.
3) In the top bathroom there was no mirror above the washbasin. Amanda agreed to mount a shaving mirror.
4) The carpet in the lounge smelt a little from her dog's and needs to be cleaned.
5). There's only place in the utility room for hanging up coats.
Completely relaxing - the perfect holiday cottage experience..
Fabulous accommodation - comfy beds, lovely linen, everything a guest requires. Beautiful and tasteful furnishings. Very stylish. Easy parking, quiet location. We had the best time and would thoroughly recommend. Hosts efficient, helpful and very friendly. Excellent in every way.

We are local to our accommodation but like to leave our guests to their privacy however we are on hand if you experience any issues during your stay. We have several holiday rentals in the village which are ideal for larger groups wanting extra accommodation. We pride ourselves on offering high spec accommodation and aim to provide all the creature comfort you could want in a place to stay.
Why they chose this property
The quintessential country cottage but with the twist of modern comfort and luxury
What makes this property unique
great location covering all bases. You can have a quiet rural stay with lots of walking and quiet nights or you can get out and about and explore the Surrey hills. Easy access to the south coast and train access into London so it really is well located to suit all needs. The house is cosy and comfortable with great group space and we have additional overflow accommodation if you need it. please don't hesitate to ask for any extra information.
