The details

Surrounded by the rolling green hills of the South Downs, Little Burpham Cottage is the sort of place that makes you slow down the moment you arrive. This charming 16th century Grade II listed thatched cottage has been lovingly renovated by its owners, preserving centuries of character while introducing the comforts needed for a wonderfully relaxing stay. Nestled in the idyllic village of Burpham, it's the perfect countryside escape for couples, families and friends looking to swap busy city life for fresh air, scenic walks and cosy evenings beside ancient beams.

Step through the door and you'll discover a home filled with warmth and personality. Historic features are everywhere you look, from exposed brickwork and timber beams to charming cottage windows that frame views of the surrounding village. Yet alongside the heritage charm, thoughtful modern touches ensure a comfortable stay. Curl up on the sofa with a good book, enjoy a movie on the Smart TV, connect your favourite playlist to the Bluetooth speaker or spend a rainy afternoon enjoying board games, sketching with the provided art paper and paint brushes or simply relaxing together after a day exploring Sussex.

At the heart of the cottage is the welcoming open-plan kitchen and dining area. Whether you're brewing fresh coffee before a morning walk or gathering for a leisurely supper, it offers everything needed for easy self-catering. A welcoming basket awaits on arrival, helping you settle in from the moment you unpack your bags.

Sleeping up to five guests, Little Burpham Cottage offers two comfortable bedrooms. The main bedroom features a king size bed along with twin pull-out single beds that are ideal for younger children, while the second bedroom has a cosy double bed. The stylish bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower, perfect for refreshing tired legs after a day spent roaming the South Downs.

Outside, the private garden provides a peaceful spot to enjoy the slower pace of village life. Start your day with breakfast in the fresh country air, spend sunny afternoons stretched out with a book or gather together for relaxed alfresco meals as the evening light settles across the surrounding countryside.

Burpham itself is a delightful South Downs village with a friendly pub, The George, and a children's play area beside the village green. Just a short drive away lies the historic market town of Arundel, famous for its magnificent castle, antique shops, independent cafés and riverside walks. Beyond that, discover the charming streets of Petworth and Chichester, explore countless walking and cycling routes through the national park or head to the Sussex coast where a selection of beautiful beaches awaits for days by the sea.

This was the perfect weekend getaway from London. Our group had 4 adults and 1 child, and we had the best time staying in the cottage. The kitchen is fully equipped and even has a dishwasher, and there are games and books for kids. Within a 5 min walk there's a playground, a little shop selling fresh milk, eggs and other local produce, and a fantastic pub. The owner Jason was super; really communicative and kind.

We had a gorgeous stay at Little Burpham Cottage. The location was perfect for us as was the cottage. We even hosted my Aunt & Uncle for dinner one evening and they also thought the cottage was amazing. 5 stars all the way. Special mentions were definitely Splash Farm where you can drink the milk literally straight from the cows, meet them and even walk through the fields with them. Sally was amazing with the children too and then The George Pub with Charlotte at the helm was superb. A cracking break for us in an idyllic cottage. Thank you
