"Absolutely lovely home from home in good location for visiting Arundel and local area."
Furnished beautifully and with care, spotlessly clean.
-
"Triple glazing at river side to reduce noise from bridge."
I did send notification of non attendance on the first night due to a cancer appointment for my wife. I didn't get a reply. OW a smashing cottage.
Thank you so much for your comments. We are looking at changing the glazing in the front rooms, so hopefully next time you visit this will have been done. I am so sorry that you didn’t get a reply with regards to your late arrival. I do always try and respond immediately to any messages I receive. Sending best wishes to your wife and we do hope to see you again. Kind regards. Property Owner

"The property is well located and well maintained."
The provision of wine and biscuits was a nice and welcome touch. The only downside was the noise from the traffic when sitting out on the balcony. However, this did not spoil our stay.
Thank you for your feedback and I’m glad you had a lovely stay in Arundel. The traffic can be a bit loud at times, but glad that the weather was good enough for you to use the balcony. We hope to see you you again Property Owner

"Super cottage."
Very well maintained and equipped. Only downside was proximity to A27. Easy stroll in to town for shops and restaurants. Provision of up to date guide to cottage and recommendations for outings and eateries much appreciated.
Thank you very much for your feedback.. We are glad you had a good stay and that you appreciated the recommendations. Property Owner

"Swan Cottage is a lovely holiday home in which everything has been thought of."
It's extremely clean with comfortable furniture and beds. It's within easy walking distance to Arundel town and perfectly situated to explore the surrounding area by car. The neighbours all seemed lovely. Yes, the traffic noise is intrusive during the day but it does quieten down over-night. The owner responded to my one question very quickly and helpfully.

"Cottage was superbly appointed and very comfortable."

"Delightful house, well equipped with quality items."
Extremely comfortable. The traffic noise which so many previous guests have mentioned did not bother us at all.

"There is lots of attention to detail at Swan Cottage that makes for a very comfortable and pleasant stay."
The beds and bedding are super comfy, and great quality. The location is brilliant for walking into town and enjoying numerous places to eat and drink, there is also a plethora of walks right from the door. The road outside is quite noisy if you are not used to traffic noise, but otherwise, given its town location, it’s very quiet with regards people noise. This would not put me off returning, and should I be looking to stay in this area again, I would not hesitate to book Swan Cottage
Thank you so much for your kind and positive feedback. It is good to hear that you had a lovely stay with us and enjoyed exploring Arundel. Hope we see you again sometime. Ellen Property Owner

"A lovely property."
Kitchen was well equipped and great location. Especially useful was the second sitting room which we used for the baby's travel cot.
-
"Exceptional property - very well equipped, comfy and great location."
Double parking very helpful too. Only issue noise of the main road for sitting on balcony and enjoying river.
-
"A lovely cottage in a perfect location."
Lots of places to eat and drink in Arundel, and some lovely shops. The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable, and beautifully decorated. We were fortunate enough to have a few sunny sunny days, so sitting on the balcony overlooking the river was a real bonus.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and benefited from some sunshine! Hope to see you again sometime Property Owner

"We had a wonderful holiday."
The house is just superb - the owners have literally thought of everything and a bit more! Great location just a short stroll into the high street. Also very useful to have 2 allocated parking spaces. Really enjoyed breakfast on the balcony overlooking the river. The bed was very comfortable and everything was wonderfully clean and well presented. Wish we’d had longer than 2 days to enjoy the facilities - we will be back!
Thank you for your lovely comments and look forward to seeing you again Property Owner

"A really lovely and well equipped cottage in a very central location for exploring Arundel, and with the huge benefit of two parking spaces!"
Yes, the A27 is very close by, but this really did not bother us in the slightest. We would recommend this cottage. The communication from Sykes and from the Owner were both first class.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. I hope that we see you again Property Owner

"Fantastic house ."
Clean, extremely well equipped, lovely furnishings and decor. The bed was comfortable and bed lined was good quality cotton. Very good communications with the owner, who kindly provided a welcome bottle of wine. Beautiful setting on the river and short walk into town. Whilst the house is near a busy road, we were not bothered by the noise of the traffic. Overall this was the most comfortable holiday rental experience we have had. Many thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again soon Property Owner
-
"A lovely property that we would recommend to others though, coming from a quiet part of the country, we found the noise of traffic from the A27 bridge near to the cottage most distracting and difficult to sleep through."
For someone used to city traffic this probably would not be an issue. Other than that the cottage is very good and well situated.
-
"This is a real home from home."
By far the best holiday cottage I have ever stayed in and the location is fantastic.
Thank you. It has been a pleasure to see you stay with us again. Property Owner
-

"The cottage (more like a house) was everything we hoped for, and more."
It felt as though the entire property had just been refurbished - everywhere was spotless - from carpets to walls, furniture and utensils. Attention to detail was also much appreciated - from hooks on the back of the bathroom doors to spare batteries just in case the TV remote failed. (It didn't.) And although it's not really featured in the pictures, the 'spare room' leading to the balcony with the river view is another nice place to just chill. The road noise is obviously apparent, but knowing about it in advance meant it wasn't a nasty surprise. We just turned our backs and faced the other way for a gorgeous view up river.
-
"Swan Cottage In Arundel was the perfect place for us to stay and explore the Sussex coast."
It is spotlessly clean and comfortable with all the facilities you could wish for. It is close to the Castle and all the shops and pubs, and there is a brilliant view of the river. Many thanks for a wonderful holiday.
-
"Initial response on approaching Swan Cottage is the alarming noise from the main road."
However, once inside the property it is reassuring that the only issue is a reluctance to sit on the balcony! The noise at night did not disturb our sleep but obviously it is a constant. Beds/bedding excellent. The cottage is very comfortable and well maintained and equipped. And so convenient for access to facilities in Arundel - particularly the Parsons Table !! Carparking spaces a bonus.
-
"Swan Cottage is lovely!"
It is spacious, clean and well-equipped. It has a lovely view of the river (yes, with swans). Arundel was very pleasant - it was a joy to leave the car in one of the two reserved parking spaces close to the cottage and just wander at will, sight-seeing and shopping. An excellent holday!
Thank you for your lovely feedback, hope to see you again. Property Owner
-
"All excellent, exactly as described."

"Absolutely delightful cottage with all amenities in great spot with walking access to town, along the tow path or to tour local features."
Two parking spaces allowed two couples to bring cars. Most enjoyable.
-
"Swan Cottage was a delightful place to stay for a short break."
We loved the cleanliness and decor of the house and the fact that it was so well equipped. Easy walking access to Arundel itself was great, and being that it was just before Christmas, the decorations and little Christmas tree was a much appreciated touch.
-
"The cottage was fantastic, really well appointed with everything you could need."
It was in a really convenient location.
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swan Cottage, it is in an ideal location in the village and with reserved parking spaces."
The cottage is very comfortable and clean and very well maintained, the dishwasher broke during our stay and was replaced in less than 24 hours ! Every detail has been thought about to ensure all the guests needs are met. We had a fabulous time exploring the area and staying at Swan cottage. Thank you
-
"A very well positioned and comfortable cottage."
Would visit again
-
"The house was great."
Sykes service over covid and changing dates I couldn't fault. We had a fantastic holiday
-
"Lovely property right next to the river, in the town of Arundel."
Really well located for trips around the south coast
-
"The cottage was spotlessly clean and very comfortable."
-
"Beautiful house, very comfortable and really well equipped."
Perfectly located, just a short walk to a variety of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops. Bit noisy as near a road, but a set of foam ear plugs sorts that. Arundel Castle is a must see and there is a lovely farm shop called Charlie’s about a 10 minute drive away. Try the LG cafe for fabulous cakes and La Campania for authentic Italian.
-
"Swan Cottage was a delightful residence that fully met our expectations."
It was comfortable, from the main lounge to the second lounge all was really good. The balcony overlooking the river was a delight. The beds were comfortable and warm. The bathrooms and showers were excellent, and the toilet on the ground floor was very convenient. The kitchen is modern and well kitted out. The owner also left us milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine to welcome us to our temporary home. Swan Cottage was our home for the week. Arundel is a lovely town with good pubs and excellent, if expensive, resturaunts. The surrounding area has many interesting places to visit, the pick of which was the Weald living museum, the home of BBCs "The Repair Shop". All in all, a very good choice for our holiday. Would highly recommend.

"We had a lovely time here in the Swan cottage."
-
"Very well appointed and comfortable modern house with view over river, easy walking distance of town centre."
We had a very enjoyable stay in this historic town.
-
"Swan Cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay."
It was good to have two parking spaces and be able to walk into the town centre for shops and restaurants. Ellen was very helpful in emails prior to our arrival. The only issue that was not mentioned on Sykes website was the close proximity to the busy A27. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay.
-
"Fantastic, well situated cottage, Ellen has thought of everything you could possibly require."
Will definitely book again
-
"Fantastic place to stay, great location for the town and castle etc Our every need was catered for at swan cottage and the owners have gone to great lengths to ensure their customers experience a fabulous holiday."
Thanks Ellen will definitely be back
-
"Swan Cottage was one of the best holiday properties of its kind that my wife and I have stayed in."
It had everything you could want: clean, spacious, well equipped, excellent attention to detail, a warm welcome from the host, off-street parking, and only a short walk into Arundel. The only downsides were beyond the owner's control: the fact that the river is less than picturesque at that point in its flow; and also the close proximity to the A27 (although the traffic becomes 'white noise' very quickly and can be ignored). A thoroughly enjoyable short break in accommodation that I would be happy to recommend to others.
-
"I would highly recommend Swan Cottage, clean, comfortable, well equipped and a great location, only 5 minute flat walk from the centre of Arundel."
We had everything we needed and more and will definitely be back.
-
"Warm welcome from Ellen."

-
"A very comfortable, well equipped and well located house that is a good base for exploring the area."
-
"Excellent location and very comfortable."
River views and outside space a bonus. Ideal spot for visiting the historic sights of Arundel as well as nearby places of interest. Try the Eagle pub which has great staff and live music evenings.
-
"We had a marvellous holiday in Swan Cottage."
It was tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable and with every conceivable facility. The décor was clearly thoughtfully chosen and the outlook onto the river was a bonus. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather on each day except one. The opportunity to visit the beautiful Arundel Castle was appreciated especially as it was within walking distance of Swan Cottage. Similarly, the town centre could be reached on foot - an important factor bearing in mind the problem of parking in the town centre. All in all, we had a quiet and relaxing time.We were looking forward immensely to being there and the peace and relaxation it promised and we were not disappointed.

"Stayed for one week in lovely Swan Cottage, it’s a very clean and comfortable spacious home from home."
It is a nice short walk from the cottage into Arundel with lots of little shops, restaurants and pubs. We loved the cottage and Arundel town, it’s a very interesting place with plenty of places to visit and nice walks along the river and surrounding areas. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Arundel in the future, one week wasn’t long enough !

"We had a really lovely stay at Swan Cottage."
Communication with Ellen was simple and quick, and she was there to greet us when we arrived. The house itself more than lived up to expectations, and had everything we needed. It was very close to Arundel town centre and lots of nice restaurants and pubs. The bed was comfy, bath and shower fantastic and we would recommend Swan Cottage to anyone looking to stay in Arundel. The parking space was a huge bonus! Thanks Ellen for a lovely stay.

Immaculate, clean and modern and had everything you could want for, and more. Just a short walk from Arundel centre and the ideal location for exploring the surrounding area, and with the added advantage of having your own parking spaces.
-
"A charming and beautifully stylish cottage in a beautiful town with plenty to do and see."
We had a wonderful welcome from the owner who showed us around, how everything worked and recommended places to eat in the town. We enjoyed being able to walk on the downs straight from the door and slept well in the comfortable beds. The whole place was spotlessly clean and we would happily stay again.

About the location
ARUNDEL
Worthing 8 miles; Goodwood 8 miles; Chichester 10 miles.
Arundel sits just outside the South Downs National Park and with the River Arun winding through the town makes for a popular tourist destination when visiting Sussex. Combining one thousand years of history with independent shops, contemporary art galleries, restaurants, cafes, delightful drinking spots and great attractions, Arundel has a thriving events calendar. With leisure pursuits from walking across the South Downs to canoeing, boating or cycling, there is something for everyone when you visit Arundel. The town's long and varied history dates back to 1086 when it was mentioned in the Domesday Book and during the 14th century it became the seat for the Dukes of Norfolk. Arundel Castle is one of the longest inhabited country houses in England and is open to the public from April to October. Arundel Cathedral stands majestically over the town and is open every day. This beautiful building is well worth a visit but be ready for the steep climb up the hill and along cobbled streets. So much to see and do no matter what the weather or time of the year, Arundel is the perfect choice, now all you have to decide is "how long can I stay?"
This property offers the following short breaks:
- Winter
- Off-season
- Last minute
