Both bedrooms overlook the pretty front garden that offers a blaze of colour through the season. There is also a single bedroom off the hallway. The family bathroom is fitted with a bath, a separate shower cubicle as well as a basin and a toilet. As well as being a haven for wildlife the gardens offer a magnificent range of colour throughout the year changing from a carpet of snowdrops through daffodils to the brightly coloured summer perennials. The view to the South Downs as you leave the garden is quite exquisite. There is also a private garage for guests to use either for parking for one car or to store bikes.

Amberley is at the foot of the South Downs and is noted for its many thatched cottages. It is a village that has managed to retain its character and appeal over the centuries, and it will delight. The River Arun with its tidal plain cuts through the South Downs at Amberley. The South Downs Way crosses the river beside the village where a walk either east or west will soon present you with stunning Downland views and total seclusion. The tidal river plain north of the village forms the Amberley Wildbrooks - a Site of Special Scientific Interest known for its wildfowl and maintained by Sussex Wildlife Trust. The rspb reserve at Pulborough Brooks neighbours Amberley where many viewing areas and special paths are provided to fully appreciate the wildlife that is resident here. Only a mile away is the Amberley Working Museum which was used as a set location for the James Bond Film ‘A View to a Kill’. It is a 36-acre open air museum set into a chalk quarry and is dedicated to the industrial heritage of South East England. Depending on the timing of your visit there are many themed events, so it is worth taking a look to see what is on.

2 miles to the east Parham House and Gardens is an imposing Elizabethan house facing the Downs. The rooms are graced with fresh flowers cut daily from the 4-acre walled garden. The main rooms are the Great Hall Great Chamber and the Long Gallery which at the top of the house does leave a tremendous visual impression. Five miles downstream from Amberley immediately south of the Downs you come to Arundel a historic market town dominated by the symbolic castle and the rising spire of the cathedral. If you fancy making your visit a little different, why not catch the train one stop down the line and come back on the river but do allow plenty of time. The town offers a plethora of craft and antique shops as well as restaurants and tearooms. A trip to Arundel would never be complete without visiting the castle. The seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and set in 40 acres of sweeping grounds and gardens Arundel Castle has been seasonally open to visitors for nearly 200 years. It is one of the great treasure houses of England and to climb the 131 steps to the Keep taking in the views is worth the effort. Shop 50 yards, pub ¼ mile and restaurant ½ mile..
