A Rustic Escape…Nothing better at Christmas!

Spring Cottage and Monk House; the best places to spend Christmas!. I´ve just returned from decorating Spring Cottage and Monk House, our two beautiful Rustic Escapes in West Sussex.

Enjoying the Garden Weekend at Parham House and Gardens

When staying at Spring Cottage in Amberley, Sussex last month, I was delighted to realise that it coincided with my annual visit to the Garden Weekend at Parham House and Gardens. This is held on the second weekend of July each year in the grounds of this beautiful Elizabethan country estate amidst rolling countryside and is just a stone's throw from our Rustic Escape in Amberley. Having watched the Morris dancers and a local jazz trio welcoming the visitors I passed...
