The Bull’s Box

Couples after a rural break will find The Bull's Box suited to them. This one-bedroom cottage near Horsham was once a farm building and retains original features—exposed roof timbers and vaulted ceilings open up the space. Everything runs on one level: a combined living and dining area with French doors to a patio, a kitchen fitted with electric cooking, and a bedroom with a king-size bed and shower room en-suite. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included.

The setting is the edge of the South Downs, surrounded by farmland and walking country. West Chiltington, a village of winding lanes with a 12th-century church, lies within easy reach. Local vineyards at Nutbourne are two miles away. A pub is within a mile. You have allocated parking on site and access to a courtyard shared with two other holiday properties, set back from the farm buildings and providing a quiet spot to sit outdoors. The cottage is non-smoking.
