In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming Victorian house is surrounded by 10 acres of grounds in the village of Bepton in West Sussex. It has free Wi-Fi, free parking, and beautiful views of the South Downs National Park. Nothing at all to fault. Really lovely location with very comfortable bed. The bathroom was great with a big bath and shower that had good pressure. Nice toiletries to use and warm fluffy towels. We really enjoyed the pool and spa too. I personally felt that the rooms in the new building were nicer. They were definitely bigger with a garden view too. We stayed in room 16 which was fab!
