About this property

Rural, Dog Friendly Cottage with Shared Outdoor Pool, Tennis Court & Gardens

Nestled in a breathtakingly secluded setting and enveloped by nature, this beautiful cottage offers the perfect sanctuary for an idyllic escape. Boasting an outdoor heated pool (available from April to September), a tennis court, a ping pong table, and even a thrilling zip wire, this retreat is designed for unforgettable relaxation and enjoyment. With a capacity to accommodate up to 7 guests, it's an ideal destination for creating cherished memories with friends or family. While guests have exclusive access to the entire property, it's worth noting that the adjacent property is also rented, resulting in shared parking, garden, pool, and tennis court. We extend a warm welcome to dogs and are delighted to accommodate extended stays.

The cottage has been designed with guests in mind and is very well-planned. The bedrooms can be arranged as twin beds or king size, depending on your group's requirements.

Upon entering, you will find a washing machine, tumble dryer, and a fridge/freezer. This leads to a spacious open plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a fully equipped modern kitchen and dining area with a table and chairs, perfect for hosting delicious family meals or enjoying takeout. The large double doors from the dining area open out to an inviting outdoor seating area overlooking the swimming pool and gardens. Additionally, there is a breakfast bar with a couple of stools, along with a cosy sofa and coffee table, creating a truly sociable space.

As you move through the kitchen/dining area you will enter the spacious lounge with high ceilings, exposed beams and abundant seating. The room features a log burner with a fireguard for safety, perfect for cosy autumn and winter days, as well as underfloor heating. A desk in one corner provides a designated space for any necessary work. The room is bathed in natural light from the large windows and double doors leading to the pool, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, there is a convenient downstairs family shower and toilet situated between the lounge and kitchen, and a double sofa bed in the lounge area for guests.

The spacious bedroom downstairs offers plenty of storage and hanging space, all with a stunning view overlooking the pool and garden. With its own en-suite shower and toilet, this bedroom offers convenience and privacy. What's more, the bathroom can be accessed from the swimming pool and outside area if needed. This bedroom can be easily configured with either twin beds or a king-size bed to suit your preferences.

The second bedroom, located up a small flight of stairs from the lounge, contains two single beds that can be converted into a king-size bed. Additionally, the room includes a day bed and an extra mattress that can be set up if needed.

The gardens are lovely for relaxation and enjoyment, with the use of garden furniture and a BBQ. Additionally, guests can use the table tennis table. This unique cottage is situated in a tranquil setting, surrounded by large trees, birds, squirrels, and nature.

The property features a spacious heated swimming pool, which is shared and available for use from April to September. Additionally, guests have access to a shared tennis court and are provided with rackets and balls. For the younger guests (and the young at heart), there is an exciting zip wire located beyond the tennis court. This zip wire is elevated in the trees and offers great entertainment for all!

This charming cottage is perfect for families with young or teenage children, offering plenty of activities to keep them entertained. It's also an excellent choice for groups of friends looking to enjoy a relaxing getaway together.

We absolutely love dogs and they are more than welcome to stay with us for free! We kindly ask that they refrain from getting on the furniture. To make their stay even more enjoyable, we provide complimentary dog treats, a water and food bowl, and fluffy towels to dry them off after a fun walk!

Long stays of more than 28 nights are very welcome - please contact us directly for details and prices.

Attention all group travellers! For larger groups of up to 11 people, we are excited to offer the North Mundham Studio, a fantastic space that can comfortably sleep 4 guests. The North Mundham Cottage and Studio are conveniently situated next to each other, making it easy for your group to come together and enjoy a memorable stay. By booking both the Cottage and Studio separately for the same dates, you can indulge in the entire property, complete with access to the swimming pool, tennis court, beautiful gardens, and ample parking. Don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity to create lasting memories with your group!
