This was a really fantastic cottage. 2 en suite bedrooms. Renovated to a high standard. The customer service whilst I was making the booking was great and remained patient and helpful while I changed my mind over dates several times!

The garden is really pretty and a great outdoor space. The surrounding walks were lovely. The kitchen was fully supplied with more than is usual in a holiday cottage. The owners provide milk, tea, coffee, butter, bread, home made jam and honey and a cake on arrival.

Bit confused about all the really positive reviews about this cottage. It was perfectly fine but nothing special. We had a few problems with things not working or being quite right. The garden area is shared so there is no privacy which isn't ideal but it's a nice space. The customer service was really poor and not at the level I would have expected given the other reviews. I wouldn't stay again but the location is good so 50/50 as to whether I would recommend.

Our family enjoyed this excellent cottage in a quiet location which is ideal for walkers or cyclists. The cottage was clean , comfortable and had everything you would want and more. We especially enjoyed the cake and watching the ducklings in the moat.
It is close to Brighton but also ideally situated for country walks. We had a lovely meal at the Royal Oak Pub after a walk to Wolstonbury Hill with views over the South Downs. With the Bluebell Steam Railway and National trust gardens close the weekend just was not long enough.

My family and I stayed here in June 2013 after searching for a holiday cottage near to Brighton. This cottage did not disappoint and far exceded our expectations.

We stayed with our two young children (both under two) as we just wanted a quiet relaxing holiday where the children could play in the garden (under close supervision). No. 1 Moatside certainly provided this for us with the added bonus of being able to go for long, lazy walks admiring the local scenery.

The cottage itself was immaculate, often when we stay in holiday cottages there's usually something that isn't as clean as you'd like. But with this property I would struggle to say that anything was not up to scratch. The property itself has been renovated to a high standard, the furniture was of a good quality (no Ikea in site) and the cleanlines was second to none.

All this with the added bonus that central Brighton is only 15 mins drive away. The best of both worlds, great night life, great shopping yet quiet and tranquil on your return to the cottage.

On top of the pure quality and location of the cottage I particulary liked the fact that upon arrival there was tea, coffee, sugar, condiments, washing up liquid and tablets for the dishwasher etc. The owners had also put a fresh pint of milk in the fridge alongside some bread and butter. And that's not mentioning the homebaked cake as I know this has been mentioned in other reviews (it was lovely thank you). To me, having these small extra on hand upon arrival makes all the difference when staying in a holiday rental and I really can't see why more owners don't do the same.

Overall I couldn't recommend this cottage enough, it was perfect for our visit and with family living close by I would definitely say that we'll be back again soon.

When initially searching for a cottage in the Brighton area, we did feel that the weekly rental was a little more expensive than some other properties. However, upon arriving at the cottage this little fact complety disappeared from our minds and we both agreed that it was well and truely worth the little extra.
