The space
I'm delighted to welcome guests to our cosy cottage in the heart of West Ashling, which is a pretty village at the base of the South Downs National Park. My cottage has original beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace which is perfect for warming up in front of on winter evenings. I've enjoyed furnishing it with ornamental accents and quirky furniture to create a charming cottage experience.

My Property sleeps 4 guests in 2 double bedrooms.

Ground Floor:

Entrance leads into the kitchen which is bright and airy and overlooks the garden. The kitchen can open on to the garden which is perfect for keeping an eye on the children when cooking and for getting things ready for a barbecue. The kitchen leads on to the sitting room/dining room area which is a lovely space for relaxing in with family and friends.

First Floor:

Upstairs has two double bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a double bed. The family bathroom is located here with a shower over bath. Also upstairs is an office room with a desk and chair.

Outside:

The courtyard garden is south facing and a real sun trap. You will spend many evenings out here enjoying an alfresco drink and making use of the charcoal barbecue. There is allocated parking for one car and plenty of free street parking.

My property is pet friendly. Please read and be sure you can adhere to the Pet section on 'Other things to note' before booking with your pet.
