Idyllically situated in the beautiful countryside surrounding the historic Arundel – this classic English thatched cottage has fabulous views over the rolling hills of the South Downs, towards Arundel Castle. When it's warm, enjoy an alfresco breakfast of organic jam, bread, yogurt and granola (provided by your lovely hosts) on the terrace as you take in the vistas. Later, relax in the sun on the sun loungers with a glass of wine from the complimentary bottle in the welcome pack. If the weather turns chilly, head inside and gather around the gorgeous inglenook fireplace, pour a glass of whiskey and play a game of chess. We love all of the character features in this home – it's the perfect weekend retreat for a family or group of friends, as it's just over an hour away from London. Situated in the picturesque hamlet of Wepham – this cottage is ideal for bird watchers and walkers – there are plenty of country walks right on your doorstep. Or have a stroll around the pretty village of Burpham with its famous pub, a nine-minute walk away. The historic market town of Arundel and its medieval castle is an eight-minute drive, while Goodwood, with its array of events such as the Festival of Speed and Revival, is ten miles from this beautiful cottage.
