Ivy Cottage
Stay in a truly impressive holiday cottage in a most traditional setting opposite St Mary’s Church Pulborough. This 17th Century detached cottage underwent a complete restoration in 2011 and offers superior accommodation for up to six guests. Ivy Cottage is situated opposite the Parish Church of St Mary’s that dates from the 12th Century and is in one of the prettiest areas of Pulborough. Since a cottage of this age has sloping floors and walls that are not straight, we believe you will really enjoy the character of this cottage.
The South Downs National Park falls right on the boundary of Pulborough where it incorporates the Pulborough Brooks which in fact is a deliberate flood plain, so periodically it becomes a spectacular lake totally transforming the landscape. There are many excellent walks across the Brooks and along the banks of the River Arun offering uninterrupted views south towards the South Downs. Part of the Brooks contains one of the RSPB’s major reserves in the south and just two miles from the house. Equally there are picturesque walks west from the cottage to meet the river again at Stopham where there is a popular pub and restaurant beside the old road bridge.
Also nearby is the West Sussex Golf Club which is regularly judged one of the outstanding inland courses in Britain. For any golf lover, staying at Ivy Cottage is very convenient indeed. Four miles south east in the direction of Storrington and nestling at the foot of the South Downs, is Parham House a magnificent Elizabethan home that is a real jewel; a half day there is time well spent.
Heading northwest from Pulborough is the historic market town of Petworth. It is best known as the location of the stately home Petworth House and deer park which was landscaped by Capability Brown. The house and its grounds are now owned by the National Trust. The magnificent country house contains an internationally renowned art collection with numerous works by Turner. Petworth itself was immortalised in his paintings. The town is full of quaint houses and cottages many within their own courtyard settings. They are interspersed with antique shops and tea rooms, so it makes the ideal place for a stroll following a visit to Petworth House and Park.
This area of West Sussex has a variety of events that occur through the year, from Goodwood racing and the Goodwood motorsport meetings, to the Arundel Festival racing at Fontwell and polo at Cowdray. Gatwick airport 30 miles. Beach 14 miles
