Library Cottage is a bijou residence set in the heart of the West Sussex countryside. The owners have lavished every comfort and convenience upon it and it is hard to think what else one could wish for. Despite the weather, we spent a very pleasant five days exploring the surrounding countryside; in warmer months, residents would have the exclusive use of a very attractive walled garden. We would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

We enjoyed our stay at Library Cottage set within a beautiful walled garden. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped
and our hosts Chris and Liz were friendly and welcoming. It was a busy week as there are many attractions in the area.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Libary Cottage, whose location manages to be both close to everything you need but quiet and remote at the same time. It is ideal for exploring the west of Sussex with easy access to the coast and inland places of interest. Liz and Chris were so so nice and helpful and went out of their way to ensure everything was just right for our vist. The fruit and veg from the garden was very welcome.You won't find a better location for slowing down and relaxing....but there are also plenty of paths for walking(or running) straight out of the door.True to the name, there is plenty of reading material! We look forward to a return visit. Recommended.

Our second time at Library Cottage and returning certainly did not disappoint. This really is a place to relax and unwind, a lovely cottage surrounded by the most beautiful private garden and with vineyards all around. The cottage itself is cosy and clean with everything we needed for our long weekend. I especially love the bedroom which is so serene with windows to the garden. Our hosts were again so welcoming and warm.

A perfect location for running and walking, with great footpaths a very short walk from the cottage. The weather was ideal for our stay, and we particularly enjoyed eating outside in the beautiful garden, and drinking wine flights among the vines in the Nutbourne Vineyard a few hundred metres walk away. The cottage itself was well equipped and comfortable, and Liz and Chris were very friendly.

We loved our time at Library Cottage - with such lovely owners and everything we needed in the cottage - it was a truly enjoyable stay. Our only negative was that we didn't plan to stay longer!
The cottage sits on narrow country roads which do take a little time to get used to if you're not acquainted with that style of road, but it is a perfect location to explore the South Downs, with beautiful vineyards within walking distance too!
The cottage itself is very comfortable with everything you could need available to make your stay enjoyable, including outdoor chairs for use in your own little garden and plenty of books to read. We loved all the small touches around the cottage to make our stay more enjoyable.
Definitely a holiday home we would visit again, especially as there is so much more in the area we didn't get to explore.

Library Cottage is a great little place in beautiful surroundings with really lovely hosts. We visited for easy access to some of the local vineyards and it was perfectly situated for that.

The cottage had everything we needed, some really interesting books to read and a great garden for enjoying. We even got to watch a meteor shower on our last night.

The cottage had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The garden was beautiful and we enjoyed either relaxing in it or looking at it out of the French windows. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Ideal location to enjoy the South Downs with plenty of walks locally and further afield.

Just want you need on holiday. A relaxing cottage to sit on the sofa and enjoy looking out onto the wonderful garden. The bed was very comfortable and warm. It was great to have such a vast collection of books to explore. Hosts Chris and Liz were very welcoming and were interested in making sure we had eveything we wanted during our stay. The tv is small but we never used it. No need to watch tv when you have books and a garden to enjoy. We visited a pub about 4 miles away which was lovely and worth a visit.

We had the most delightful long weekend at Library Cottage it was everything we hoped for from the website description, a secluded little retreat surrounded by it's own beautiful garden. The cottage is spacious,light and such a relaxing space to spend a few days we were able to switch off completely from work and city life. On the practical side, we had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bed was cosy and very comfy. Liz and Chris were friendly and welcoming hosts and we definitely hope to return to Library Cottage in the future.

Library cottage is a delightful and homely place to stay. It has it's own stunning garden and the lovely hosts, Chris and Liz take rightful pride in the rest of their gardens and were more than happy for us to share them. We could happily have stayed there all day relaxing. However, the area has so much to offer, museums both indoor and out, gardens, historic houses, beautiful villages and the coast is nearby too.
Facilities are great in the cottage. Everything you need is on hand.
We are already planning a return visit.

This lovely little cottage is separate to the main house with it's own garden space for you to enjoy. Sat nav took us straight to it - it is in the midst of country lanes and feels quite remote. You have your own parking space.
Liz (host) came out to welcome us, let us into the property and show us around. She was very helpful and friendly. She'd even made us some sweet treats!
The cottage is bright and airy with a good sized bedroom. The sofa is comfortable and looks out over the pretty garden. The TV is a little small, but we just moved the unit closer to the sofa on the one evening we decided to watch a film. There are storage heaters that you will likely need to use as it can get quite cold - best to turn on the bedroom one a little while before you want to go to bed. The kitchen is relatively well equipped. The bathroom is large with space to put all of your lotions and potions.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was lovely to have the occasional chat with hosts, Chris and Liz. They generally left us to ourselves but made it clear we could knock on the door if we needed anything. Special thanks to them both for our wedding anniversary gift x

We thoroughly enjoyed our second stay at Library Cottage, with its beautiful walled garden, many lovely walks from the door, such welcoming hosts and the beautiful rural setting - near lanes, bluebell woods and a short drive to the South Downs.

We enjoyed our stay at Library Cottage immensely. We greatly appreciated the tranquility of its rural location. Access roads are narrow but we found very little oncoming traffic to cause inconvenience. In front of the cottage the beautiful garden created a very restful and picturesque impression. Internally, although compact, there was ample room for us to be comfortable. The appliances in the kitchen area were spotlessly clean - the fridge was sufficiently spacious to accommodate our provisions for the week. The living area, bathed in the natural light from the glazed doors and the roof, created the perfect environment to have a leisurely read. The TV was rather small, but was fine for catching up with the unfolding news with the rapidly changing political situation. The bed mattress was a little soft for our liking - a matter of personal preference. There was plenty of storage for our clothes in the wardrobe and drawers. We benefited by using the electric heaters in the early mornings and the evenings - it was mid October when we stayed.
There were lots of opportunities to go on local walks - our favourite was right on the door step taking in the local vineyards and the villages of Nutbourne and West Chiltington.
We had a very warm welcome from Liz and Chris who we met briefly at the start of our stay before they headed off for a few days. We appreciated the cake, raspberries and the floral arrangements from the beautiful grounds.
This was a very relaxing and carefree stay.

This was our second stay at Library Cottage, and we would definitely like to return. The cottage is so comfortable and peaceful - ideal for a really relaxing break. There are miles of lovely walks, and lots of interesting places to visit; we especially enjoyed Petworth House, Parham House, and the RSPB at Pulborough Brooks.
Liz and Chris, the hosts, are charming, friendly and helpful. We thoroughly recommend Library Cottage.

Library Cottage was every thing we had anticipated and more. Lovely and comfortable , clean , our garden was beautiful as were the owners garden. Which we were encouraged to walk in when we had asked. The cottage had every thing we needed. It was in a nice quiet area. Just the odd plane over head now and again. Lovely to watch the different birds and listen to them. The surrounding country side was beautiful. We managed a couple of local walks from the cottage. The weather was very kind to us and we had a really nice holiday. The owners Chris and Liz Williams, who were near by were friendly, discreet and very helpful .
We would definitely book this cottage again.
