About this property

Picturesque cottage in the heart of Arundel sleeps 4/5

Set on one of the prettiest roads in Arundel no 27 Maltravers is ideally located, being a few minutes’ walk from the centre of town. With old beams befitting its age, a working fireplace in the kitchen and a spacious south-facing terraced garden, this is the quintessential English country cottage. Superbly decorated and fitted out to a high standard, this family home not only offers comfort and style, but is also amazingly spacious for a two-bedroomed cottage.

The large kitchen at the front of the house is well-equipped and has a working open fire. The French doors at the rear of the spacious living/dining room lead to the south-facing garden which gets sun for most of the day. The path to the side of the garden, separated from it by an ornate ironwork fence, leads to a twitten (rear passageway) to the town centre. Please note the garden is private but the pathway is also for the use of the next-door neighbour. The garden is terraced in stone and brick, is decorated with many ceramic pots, and has various levels, so guests should be aware that young children should be closely supervised.

Off the large landing upstairs are the two beautiful bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and shower. The master bedroom has a super-king bed which can be split into two single beds and bedroom two has a double bed. Both rooms are charming and spacious and have a wonderful cottagey feel. We have a z bed if you need to take maximum capacity up to 5 guest which is charged at an additional £14 per night.

Well behaved dogs are welcome but they are not allowed on the furniture, upstairs or to be left unattended at the property. There is a charge of £27.50 per dog for stays up to 7 days and £27.50 for each subsequent week.

Please leave the house in a clean and tidy condition at the end of your stay with all washing up done and bins out. There is a travel cot at the house if you need one but you will need to bring all sheets and bedding to suit your baby.

Arundel is a 20 minute drive from Goodwood - famous for horse racing at Glorious Goodwood and motor racing at the Festival of Speed and Glorious Goodwood.

Hone from home - don’t look any further!
This is a beautiful, tranquil, quintessential Sussex cottage where you and your family will live, cook, rest and play as if you were in your own home. This is a lovely cottage and very cosy, you wouldn’t mind being rained in if it came to it. We relaxed in the garden and used the secret passageway to get to the local for a cheeky pint. The house is well insulated for winter, we used the lovely warm lounge room when we arrived early on a very wet and cold morning and warmed up straight away. A lovely short walk to bakeries, restaurants and Arundel’s main attractions and our 2 year old managed a walk to the river (slides and swings) if you don’t fancy dragging a pram or pushchair. An easy drive (whether you drive on the left or not) to market towns like Chichester and the beaches along the coast make this home central to a mixture of things to do for the family. This is one review I should not have written in fear that I won’t be able to book myself again!!! Don’t look any further if you are planning on staying in West Sussex. There will be very few homes that have considered everything and are as lovely and homely as Maltravers, Regards Mark

a lovely quirky bijou cottage
Deceptively spacious cottage, we loved the furnishings very country life. Almost French in style, we loved it! It was right in the town so near every where and garden sweet and quiet. one problem, the keys to the property are a night mare, unable to unlock front door so ended up using back doors for most of our stay. Even they are stiff and took several attempts to open or lock. In bedroom looking out of garden , only a very small window to open , quite a problem with the hot nights we experienced last week. Also could not turn oven on and on our final morning we discovered a switch in kitchen cupboard that turned on cooker /washing machine! However we did have the micro wave .

Wonderful, cosy stay in picturesque cottage
We had a delightful stay at this picturesque cottage. I couldn’t imagine a better location for wandering around all the fantastic eats and attractions of Arundel. We really enjoyed the charms of the house, like the beautiful beams and the unique log fire in the kitchen. Whilst we were there during storm Ciara, swiftly followed by storm Dennis, we felt warm, cosy and wouldn’t hesitate in returning. Everything worked as it should, everything was clearly explained and the bathroom and kitchen have all the mod cons, with an upmarket feel. There is plenty to do both in Arundel and the surrounding area, and we would highly recommend choosing to stay here. Jennifer & family

Nice cottage in centre of Arundel
Very nice cottage bang in the centre of the town close to all amenities. Rooms not as big and bright as the pictures would have you believe. Still, you can't beat the location. Watch out for front and back door, the locks are a bit iffy!

Fabulous place in the heart of Arundel.
This really was home from home. Spotlessly clean with everything you need to make your stay extremely comfortable. The master bed was huge and the bedding luxurious. Laura went out of her way to look after us and, having family close by, we will definitely be back. This really is a gem. Thanks Laura.
