The Coach House, part of the Twineham Grange Estate, is ideally located off the A23, just 20 minutes from Brighton and Gatwick Airport, just over an hour from the centre of London by car or 45 minutes by train… yet in the very heart of the Sussex countryside, only a couple miles from the world famous Hickstead All England Jumping and Equestrian Event Showground. On arrival the electric gate opens onto a sweeping private 360m driveway, flanked by mature oak trees, lush grass fields, paddocks with alpacas and polo ponies, as well as an all-weather sand school arena.

Great...once you find it!
This property is very hard to find, even with Google maps and some help from the host. It is not far from the A23, but make sure you have detailed instructions or you will spend a long time taking wrong turns. The house is just lovely, the description is accurate and the place was spacious, beautifully presented and very comfortable. Our only gripes (aside from the inadequate directions) was the state of the bbq (so dirty, we couldn't use it) and the outside furniture, which was covered in cobwebs that appeared to have amassed over a long period of time, and unswept paving (as in old cigarette butts, piles of grass etc. that had collected around the furniture. I should emphasize that the house itself is really special and the surroundings are idyllic. Just needs a bit more TLC...!

Fantastic cottage
The place itself is lovely. Fluffy towels and super showers, loads of space. Large enough that the kids and adults were all able to relax and spread out.
The games and books were super. We couldn’t find the trampoline or tennis court.
The only thing that could have improved our stay would be better communication before arrival. Detailed instructions on how to find the place and how to get in on arrival would have been much appreciated.
