Would highly recommend The Packhouse. A great cottage in such lovely and peaceful surroundings but with all the amenities and shops you need not too far away in local villages and towns, as well as being only a short drive from the coast. For my parents who have mobility challenges, the cottage is really accessible and perfect for their needs. It also well equipped, a great layout and the terrace gets sunshine for most of the day.

As with most holiday accommodation there are quite a few things that I would not like to live with full time. Overall however the accommodation is satisfactory & if you like quiet, a very good location. Most major attractions are at least 25 minutes away by car, there are a couple of local pubs & Steyning is lovely (5 minutes by car).
