The Garden House is a light, contemporary house which is quietly situated on the edge of Petworth and an area of outstanding natural beauty. It is only a short walk to the centre of the historic town, with its convenience stores, delis, many antique shops, independent retailers, gastro pubs, restaurants and cafes. It is also within easy walking distance of historic Petworth House and Park and the Shimmings Valley.
Inside, the house comprises a large open plan sitting room with dining area and well equipped modern kitchen with granite worktops. There is a downstairs bedroom with kingsize bed and ensuite wetroom (and direct access down stairs to the private garden).
Upstairs there are two more ensuite bedrooms, one kingsize bed and the other a double. There is a second sitting area upstairs too with a small double sofa bed. (There is an additional fee of £50 payable on arrival for making up and supply of extra linens if the sofa bed is required)
The house is furnished with contemporary furniture and fittings, with light oak flooring throughout. The beds are all extremely comfortable and the hotel quality linen has a very high thread count and is professionally laundered.

We had a great stay over new year. Petworth is a lovely little town with great pubs and superb curry house (2 mins walk). The Garden House was perfect for our visit. It had everything we needed and the kitchen was very well equipped. I would highly recommend. Thank you Carole and Robert!

A fabulous place to stay, the house is furnished to a very high standard, with everything you could need, the pool was really lovely too. With only a short walk you can be in Petworth town centre which has great shops & pubs and also a lovely cinema, which is worth a visit. Carole & Robert are great hosts. I would highly recommend the Poolhouse
