About this property

Georgian cottage in the heart of Henfield village

Church Mouse Cottage has all the character and charm you would hope to find in a Georgian property. It has been decorated with love and furnished with comfort in mind to create, not just a place to stay, but a place to unwind, enjoy and make memories. It’s a peaceful haven, a bolt hole to escape to with the wood burner roaring, a good book and a large glass of red! It’s location is unique in that it is tucked away in the most tranquil and historic part of the village and yet it is just a 5 minute stroll to the high street with its many shops, pubs and cafes. Also, just a 10 minute walk away you will stumble upon the ‘Downs Link’ which used to be a railway line but is now a 37mile green corridor full of wildlife, perfect for picnickers, cyclists and walkers to enjoy and reconnect with nature. With the river Adur running through, it really is a wonderful place to just pause and take in the beautiful scenery. 🤗

A little slice of heaven
We loved our 2 night stay at Mouse Cottage and all the previous reviews we read about this beautiful place, were accurate. Anya has thought of everything for a very comfortable stay! It was a great relaxing base for us after a busy week in London, and perfect for a day trip to the Seven Sisters and Brighton. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time at the church mouse cottage, the little touches were much appreciated in particular the stuff for my dog that meant I didn’t need to bring as much of my own bits. Henfield also had a lot to recommend it. Thank you Anya for a great stay

Short break for wedding
Lovely cottage chosen as near to the wedding venue. Would love to return and explore the area more. Had every thing we needed as well as a few unexpected extras (prosecco and brownies). Our dog was happy in the rear garden as well as the church field 20 metres up the front path. Good comms with Anya the host.

Henfield cottage
This cottage was like stepping back to a beautiful, simpler time. But in a lovely cottage well supplied and equipped beyond any I have stayed in before. From the great expresso/latte machine, the classy soaps, soft towels, and the comfortabke beds and bedding to the fresh carrot cake and BEER in the fridge. This place felt like home the first day. And our host, Anya was so helpful with anything we asked her about, which was alot. (Especially the best tavern to watch the big football game- Go England). The village was full of nice people, even to 3 Yank guys. The church, the bakery and breakfast cafe, the tavern and the stunning views from the walking paths made this a memorable place.

Lovely cottage
This cottage is gorgeous, and was absolutely perfect for our stay. Anya is a brilliant host - she contacted me prior to our visit, to ensure we had everything required, including for our little one - a cot ( which wasn't listed ), age-specific toys / bath toys, and the tepee outside was a lovely addition. She also left us a bottle of fizz, home-made cake, and milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Anya.

Wonderful little cottage
We had a lovely relaxing stay in this beautiful little cottage. It was perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area. Quiet and very peaceful and yet close enough to the town to enjoy the pubs and restaurants. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed and the extra little touches like wine and chocolate brownies on arrival were wonderful. Highly recommend the Church Muse Cottage !

Can't praise this property highly enough. Super convenient location with lots of amenities and gorgeous walks an easy distance on foot from the cottage. Beautiful property, a generous size for a cottage with lots of charming features. Lovely welcome from the host (cake! dog treats! local recommendations!) and super responsive on messages.

Wonderful VRBO!!
We had a great stay at the cottage. The property was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and in a great location for touring around the Sussex countryside. And all this within an easy 30 minute drive to Gatwick. The cottage had everything you could possibly need for your stay, and we were very kindly left some treats– one of them a very special touch. Great comms from Anya throughout (and a great sense of humour), easy check in; all in all the absolutely perfect place to stay! Would not hesitate to recommend to others, and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to the UK. Thanks!

Perfect stay in a lovely cottage
We had a great time at Church Mouse Cottage. The cottage was immaculate. The furniture lovely, the accessories all very cute and stylish. Anya's eye for detail is simply extraordinary. Also, I want to mention the village of Henfield, which is a great place to be. It offers all you could possibly want, from pubs to convenience store to a nice playground in the close vicinity. We hope to be back next year!

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village
We spent a few very pleasant days at Church Mouse Cottage. The house was very clean and was furnished and decorated with love. We were welcomed with cake and prosecco. Everything you needed was provided. Henfield is a lovely little town with lots of history, great pubs and cafes. Good for trips to Brighton (No 17 bus stops almost outside the door). And the people are all very friendly. Don't miss the small museum.

Upon entry to the property we were greeted with a personalised card from the host Anya, plus a complimentary bottle of prosecco on ice, and some homemade brownies. The cottage is very homely, beautifully decorated and located a stone's throw from the centre of the lovely village of Henfield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend.
