Entering the open plan living space, deep elegant sofas sit in front of a large Smart TV. The large dining table is a fabulous place to eat, drink and entertain, and the smart kitchen is fully equipped for a self-catering break away.

Local area
Petworth is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and its vast deer park landscaped by Capability Brown. The house contains an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. This old English town is full of quaint houses and cottages, interspersed with fine antique shops, tearooms and restaurants; try the East Street Bar and Grill for some expertly prepared local produce. There is a well-stocked Co-op in town, or head to Pulborough for larger Sainsbury’s and Tesco’s supermarkets.To the east, the market town of Midhurst nestles next to Cowdray Park. The Cowdray Estate is most famous for its polo club, particularly in June and July when the polo set meet for the Gold Cup. The Cowdray ruins are also of note, forming an impressive Tudor backdrop to Midhurst. Also nearby, Arundel is another historic market town dominated by its symbolic castle and the rising spire of the cathedral.
Ten miles south, the famous Goodwood Estate offers an exciting calendar of events, including the Festival of Speed, Goodwood Revival and Glorious Goodwood (Qatar Festival). A little further past Goodwood, the cathedral city of Chichester is one of the great well-preserved Georgian cities in the UK, where Chichester Festival Theatre offers a variety of first-class productions. The Sussex coast and its sandy beaches are within a 30-minute drive.

Reviews
Excellent stay
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Poolhouse. The pool was amazing and our teenage boys and ourselves were in the pool every day. The added bonus was we were able to take our lovely dog. Our hosts Carole and Robert went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. We would highly recommend this property and would love go back again one day.
Fantastic getaway in a lovely property
Absolutely loved our stay at the pool house holiday cottage in Sussex! The highlight was definitely the pool - it was clean, well-maintained, and provided a perfect way to cool off during the hot days. The cottage itself was charming and cozy, with all the necessary amenities. The serene surroundings and beautiful countryside views added to the overall relaxation. The only minor drawback was the slightly slow Wi-Fi, but honestly, being disconnected added to the getaway experience. Overall, a fantastic retreat that we'd love to visit again!
