The Cottage was very clean and tidy and had a lovely welcome hamper., plus some personal items on top. Alan the owner very very friendly. The location was very rural, peaceful and quiet
It is a lovely cottage, nice and quiet made extra special by the owner's ***** cat's regular visits.
It was the most beautiful and well appointed cottage we have stayed in, plus it was in a lovely peaceful setting
What a wonderfull property, beautifull location clean, wonderfull decor, lovely welcome hamper and what a lovely owner as well, to add to that the addition of the owners pussycat just made my week she was the sweetest, cutest little thing and i miss her allready her daily visits just perfect, i cannot recommend Hope Cottage enough, in 10yrs of doing self cattering holidays this is by far one of the most perfect places we have stayed, we will be back for sure thankyou to the wonderfull owner for a lovely week x
The cottage is set on the edge of the village is quiet and the garden secluded. The welcome pack was delicious and generous! Everything is well set up and Alan made us especially welcome.
A beautiful little cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside, amazing for walking, very clean, you have everything you need and made very welcome
Best holiday cottage we've stayed in, so well-equiped, warm and cosy. The owner, Alan, was most helpful and the welcome basket was very generous!
This was our second visit to Hope Cottage and it was as wonderful as we remembered! It’s an incredibly well appointed and cosy cottage and perfect for visiting all of Sussex.
Beautifully designed and excellently equipped. High quality cottage feel, and very secluded small garden. Generous welcome hamper and supply of logs for wood burner included!
A very clean, well-appointed cottage in great location. Host very helpful The welcome hamper was a pleasant surprise. A couple of minor points: a tea-strainer would have been useful and a larger shower mat would enable one to reach the shower controls without slipping!
Thought cottage was perfect for two people and very comfortable. My grandchild loved the cat visiting the cottage. Facilities and hamper were greatly appreciated.
Our second visit to Hope Cottage, it's a little gem. We love the location, it feels tucked away and secluded but a pleasant half hour walk brings you to the bustling village of Henfield with a good choice of pubs and cafes. The cottage itself is beautifully presented with some nice little touches like bath robes, fresh flowers and upmarket toileteries in the bathroom. Plus there are lots of interesting places to visit in the area and beautiful walks on the South Downs.
Lovely cottage bed very comfortable the sofa was very uncomfortable Alan was very good excellent cottage
Update - the sofa has been re-upholstered.
Cosy, well maintained & stocked cottage which provided everything I required. A perfect base to return to each evening after days out visiting various friends in the area during the day.
A beautiful little cottage in beautiful countryside, a lovely hamper in arrival with local produce, very highly recommended
Most comfortable for a couple. Recommend it.
Exactly as described. Well equipped and very comfortable
Great Cottage very well planned and everything that you need for a happy stay
Lovely cottage beautifully presented. Very nice hamper. Helpful owner
Very nice cottage and lovely walks from the door. Very well equipped and furnished - although the sofa was very soft and not very comfortable! The walks were muddy but the Downs Link was lovely, and as a disused, converted railway the path was much cleaner and easier.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
