Parkhurst Cottage

Parkhurst Cottage suits couples after a quiet rural retreat or families wanting space to spread out without feeling cramped. The two bedrooms—one with a zip-and-link bed that converts to twins if needed, the other a double—mean flexible sleeping arrangements, while the bathroom upstairs and separate toilet downstairs ease the morning rush. Ground floor living and dining rooms give everyone room to breathe, and the kitchen is properly equipped for cooking rather than just reheating takeaways.

The cottage sits at the foot of Black Down, the South Downs' highest point, in countryside that draws walkers and cyclists to the surrounding heathland. Petworth, Midhurst and Cowdray are within easy reach, while Lurgashall village and its winery lie just down the lane. A pub is within a mile. The private garden includes a barbecue; there's bike storage if you're exploring on two wheels, and on-site parking means no hunting for spaces. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included. The cottage is non-smoking.
