Georgian cottage in the heart of Henfield village

Church Mouse Cottage has all the character and charm you would hope to find in a Georgian property. It has been decorated with love and furnished with comfort in mind to create, not just a place to stay, but a place to unwind, enjoy and make memories. It’s a peaceful haven, a bolt hole to escape to with the wood burner roaring, a good book and a large glass of red! It’s location is unique in that it is tucked away in the most tranquil and historic part of the village and yet it is just a 5 minute stroll to the high street with its many shops, pubs and cafes. Also, just a 10 minute walk away you will stumble upon the ‘Downs Link’ which used to be a railway line but is now a 37mile green corridor full of wildlife, perfect for picnickers, cyclists and walkers to enjoy and reconnect with nature. With the river Adur running through, it really is a wonderful place to just pause and take in the beautiful scenery. 🤗

Short break for wedding
Lovely cottage chosen as near to the wedding venue. Would love to return and explore the area more. Had every thing we needed as well as a few unexpected extras (prosecco and brownies). Our dog was happy in the rear garden as well as the church field 20 metres up the front path. Good comms with Anya the host.

Henfield cottage
This cottage was like stepping back to a beautiful, simpler time. But in a lovely cottage well supplied and equipped beyond any I have stayed in before. From the great expresso/latte machine, the classy soaps, soft towels, and the comfortabke beds and bedding to the fresh carrot cake and BEER in the fridge. This place felt like home the first day. And our host, Anya was so helpful with anything we asked her about, which was alot. (Especially the best tavern to watch the big football game- Go England). The village was full of nice people, even to 3 Yank guys. The church, the bakery and breakfast cafe, the tavern and the stunning views from the walking paths made this a memorable place.

Lovely place to stay and explore Knepp and surrounding countryside. The cottage is beautifully equipped , immaculately prepared and generously supplied with everything you might need and more. The homemade cake and Prosecco was also a lovely touch. Communication was great and we can’t recommend a stay here highly enough!

Lovely cottage
This cottage is gorgeous, and was absolutely perfect for our stay. Anya is a brilliant host - she contacted me prior to our visit, to ensure we had everything required, including for our little one - a cot ( which wasn't listed ), age-specific toys / bath toys, and the tepee outside was a lovely addition. She also left us a bottle of fizz, home-made cake, and milk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Anya.

Wonderful little cottage
We had a lovely relaxing stay in this beautiful little cottage. It was perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding area. Quiet and very peaceful and yet close enough to the town to enjoy the pubs and restaurants. The cottage was very well equipped and had everything we needed and the extra little touches like wine and chocolate brownies on arrival were wonderful. Highly recommend the Church Muse Cottage !

Can't praise this property highly enough. Super convenient location with lots of amenities and gorgeous walks an easy distance on foot from the cottage. Beautiful property, a generous size for a cottage with lots of charming features. Lovely welcome from the host (cake! dog treats! local recommendations!) and super responsive on messages. Will be staying here again.

Wonderful VRBO!!
We had a great stay at the cottage. The property was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and in a great location for touring around the Sussex countryside. And all this within an easy 30 minute drive to Gatwick. The cottage had everything you could possibly need for your stay, and we were very kindly left some treats– one of them a very special touch. Great comms from Anya throughout (and a great sense of humour), easy check in; all in all the absolutely perfect place to stay! Would not hesitate to recommend to others, and would definitely stay here again on our next visit to the UK. Thanks!

We loved our 2 night stay at Mouse Cottage and all the previous reviews we read about this beautiful place, were accurate. Anya has thought of everything for a very comfortable stay! It was a great relaxing base for us after a busy week in London, and perfect for a day trip to the Seven Sisters and Brighton. Highly recommended!

Upon entry to the property we were greeted with a personalised card from the host Anya, plus a complimentary bottle of prosecco on ice, and some homemade brownies. The cottage is very homely, beautifully decorated and located a stone's throw from the centre of the lovely village of Henfield. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend.

Easter in East Sussex
This is a very charming and aesthetic cottage in the most wonderful Sussex village with a fantastic church, pub and small shops to hand. We charged our car in the e - bay at the Leisure centre and walked across Henfield Common with the dog and drove out to the Seven Sisters walk in the South Downs. The cottage has beautiful rooms and an enclosed rear garden safe for a dog. Loved it. Hope to make it back. Anya also left lovely Easter trimmings which was very welcome as it was our first Easter away from home ever.

Stay at Church Mouse Cottage
A lovely place to stay. Lots of welcoming touches - complementary cakes/Coissants and Proscecco. The cottage is very well equipped with all you could need even a coffee maker with milk frother! Very dog friendly too. Beautifully decorated and restful. A great location - short walk to shops and nice cafes. The South Downs is on on your doorstep for long walks, coast a short drive away. Really recommend. We will certainly be back.

Also, I want to mention the village of Henfield, which is a great place to be. It offers all you could possibly want, from pubs to convenience store to a nice playground in the close vicinity.
