We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at Little Knowle. We received a very warm welcome from Caroline on our arrival, and the location was private and peaceful, yet close to amenities. Little Knowle was very well equipped and a perfect size for just the two of us.

The accommodation was compact, clean and bright. The bed was comfortable. The only negative comment would be the noisy Cuckfield road mornings and evenings. The Sussex countryside and famous gardens are beautiful.

We both had a lovely stay and will return again in the future. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay . A small supermarket was in a short walk and several restaurants were also very close by. The owner Caroline was very friendly and helpful.
