The holiday cottage is situated overlooking the moat of Newtimber Place, a beautiful 17th Century manor house within the South Downs National Park. You can search for Newtimber Place and you will find all about it and about all our cottages.

It has extensive views of the Downs and is in a rural location, yet is within easy reach of Brighton and Hove (8 miles). Children and Walkers and cyclists welcome. Weekend/midweek breaks available during the winter and you can book on-line on our website.

The cottage sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms - one king and one twin. It is available for booking for full weeks for holidays during the summer, and also for short breaks during the winter.

The cottage is on one level with underfloor heating, the heat being drawn from the adjoining field by a heat pump.

The cottage shares a garden with the adjoining holiday cottage. Each has its own table and chairs under a pegoda. The garden is fenced, but small children would have to be supervised as there is deep water the other side of the fence. It was been awarded 4 Star Gold by Visit England for 2012/13.

“Perfect” I booked this holiday cottage last minute. What a find! It is situated in a very idyllic setting, with the South Downs literally on your doorstep. The fixtures and fittings are exceptional, nothing... more Response: Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.

“Fabulous cottage - perfect for young children” We have just returned home after 3 nights staying in 2 Moatside Cottages and had a fantastic stay. The cottage exceeded our expectations. It was particularly well equipped and it's clear the... more

“Luxurious Cottages in a peaceful location” Myself and 7 friends stayed for a weekend in both Moatside cottages. The cottages are beautiful and both furnished to a high specification. The beds are comfotable, all showers are power showers and everything was spotlessly clean The kitchens are well equipped and all appliances and equipment are of a really high quality. There were homemade lemon drizzle and sponge cakes on arrival that were so good and didn't last long with our hungry group of friends! We cooked one night in the cottage and the following day we ate out at a local pub, The Royal Oak. The food here was beautiful and really high quality. We walked which took about half an hour. The cottages are fairly remote but we managed to get out and about but if you were wanting to explore the surrounding area a car would be beneficial. If you just wanted to stay in the cottages there are lots of books, smart tv's so you can get catch up, wifi and i pod docking stations. The only minor criticism was that a few people in the group said the hot water in the showers was a little sporadic. All in all a very comfortable stay, the cottages are beautiful and feel very luxurious!

“Well equipped and comfortable cottages” Seven friends and I rented both Moatside cottages for a three-night stay. Couldn't fault the cottages. They are newly refurbished and kitted out to the highest quality. Great kitchen... more

“Peaceful location” Moatside cottages have only opened this year and were originally horse stables. The renovation has been done to a very high standard. We had everything we required and the owner even baked us a cake! It is a beautiful peaceful location with lots of great walks on the doorstep. Henfield the closest village is a 10 minute drive away and has everything you will need. We will definitely stay again.

“Fully Equipped - there's not one thing they've not thought of - Perfect” We booked this for a week for a wedding nearby at Pyecombe, Pangdean Barn. We took my parents, us and our toddler. The booking was fast and efficient. The Property is a newly converted stable block in the grounds of a moated house. It's separate and has privacy away from the owners' house. Wonderful walks right from the door, in to the wood and around the grounds - all very well detailed in the inhouse Information brochure. The Information Brochure is the most uptodate and detailed of any we've ever seen, and we've rented a lot of houses. It is located about a mile from the A23 but you hear absolutely no noise at all, from there you can do Brighton very easily and other places. The garden is shared, but each has their own seating area - there were others there but they didn't mind at all that our son wanted to play football. The cottage is very well thought out, incredibly well equipped for self-catering and the Owners were very responsive to a few unforseen hiccups along the way (plug stuck in sink) were sorted out immediately. Cleaning liquid, washing powder, dishwasher tablets and sponges etc were all provided enough for the entire stay - rare to find and such a thoughtful idea. Attention to detail is fabulous. Wonderful assortment of essentials on arrival - tea, coffee, butter, bread and the orange cake ... rent this cottage immediately!

“Top class self-catering accommodation in idyllic setting” My husband, 22 year old son, and I stayed in this beautiful fully refurbished property in July. The property has all modern, top-of-the range facilities and has a fully equipped kitchen. Everything has been thought of down to the last detail. Also provided are soaps, shower gels and all washing and dishwasher powders. The rooms are spacious and beds very comfortable, with the most amazing fluffy duvets. The owners were very welcoming and to start us off food-wise we arrived to find a lovely home-made cake. Bread, milk, honey, home-made jam and marmalade were also provided, as well as tea, coffee and sugar, so we could have a much needed snack when we arrived and a cup of tea. This property is so handy for the A23 and there are many pubs and inns nearby to dine in. It is very near Brighton and so if shopping and night-life is your weakness, this is the place to be, as you can escape back to a beautiful quiet location after your hectic days out. There are numerous country walks if this is what you prefer. This is definitely the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. In fact, the photographs don't do it justice!
