Lovers of the Great British summertime will love their stay at this quaint countryside home. Based just down the road from Goodwood House in Chichester, on the edge of the South Downs, this cottage is ideal whether you're seeking to be at one with nature, or headed for a day at the races. There's an idyllic private garden here that you'll love wiling away the hours in when the heat turns up, with a barbecue and seating area for feasts with friends and family. Inside is just as lovely, with exposed beams and a wood-burner fireplace adding to the quintessential cottage vibes, along with some modern touches in the kitchen that make the home feel fresh.
