A Perfect Stay in Henfield
This is a very nice place that is perfect for anyone coming to stay in Sussex. The flat is light, airy, and quiet, and very well appointed. It is also ideally situated just off the High Street, with its shops and restaurants. The owners, Jo and Gavin, are incredibly nice, and even looked in on me when I took ill for a couple of days. I look forward to returning in the near future to explore more of the South Downs. Thanks again, from Canada.

A perfect stay during a busy week
I booked 3 nights at this VRBO cottage in the middle of a long work trip through England and Amsterdam. After being on the road for a week, I was looking forward to cooking for ourselves and especially washing clothes mid-trip. This beautiful, quiet cottage certainly fit the bill. It was absolutely spotless, we'll-appointed and super comfortable. Off a side street in the middle of tiny Henfield, it was surprisingly silent at night, yet easily walkable to grocers and restaurants. Our host, Jo, was very responsive when I embarrassingly couldn't figure out how to work some appliances, and was available to answer any questions. The kitchen was stocked with eggs, milk, fresh bread and jam for our first breakfast and a wood stove came ready for a fire, which was welcomed on the cold wet nights. The washer worked great and a drying rack was provided. The huge king-size bed was amazingly comfortable and the shower dumped plenty of hot water. We could not have asked for more and are super appreciative that Jo and Gavin offered their charming guest house for a stay.

A perfect getaway
This was a little oasis of calm, just a few steps away from the village, and very central for all our needs. The accommodation was delightful, as was the garden. An incredibly comfortable bed. Just lovely. We live in a rural very quiet area, and were a bit concerned at first about the proximity of other houses and perhaps traffic noise, but honestly, we didn't hear a thing. Delightful independent shops in the village; beautiful walks from the door. Nothing not to like. We loved it, and thank our hosts for their highly professional and friendly hosting.

Everything you could want
We had a lovely stay at Whistlestop. It was a perfect base to visit all the places we wanted to on the south coast. The studio had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. We had the added bonus of visits every day from Macy and Chilli, the Jack Russells. Would definitely stay there again.
