Yaffle Cottage is a spacious and characterful country cottage in a truly idyllic woodland setting. It is ideally located for all Goodwood events. It is in the middle of the South Downs National Park and was designed specifically as a holiday home; every detail has your comfort and enjoyment in mind. The cottage sleeps 8 - in 8 separate beds if required.
The Lounge is cosy and welcoming with luxurious deep sofas and an oak-beamed ceiling. There is a wood burner in the inglenook fireplace.

The garden is secluded, totally private and completely fenced in. The cottage looks out over private woodland with secret paths and is within an area designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', ideal for walking or riding (it really is Dog Heaven).

Yaffle Cottage has been a holiday let for over 20 years, starting before VRBO existed. Before the internet age I had an old-fashioned 'Visitors Book' (remember them!?) and I quote from that:-
“We fell in love with the cottage & surrounding countryside. If we win the lottery an offer will be made too difficult to refuse!” The Dean Family
“Had a fab week at Yaffle. We really recommend 'Hide-and-Seek-in-the-dark'. Airing cupboard hot but can accommodate 4 adults” Neil (age 39½ )
“Excellent accommodation. Had a wonderful time. We'll be back” - (They did come back – four times). Spensley/Coleman family.
“We had a lovely stay at Yaffle Cottage. Loved the heated tiles in the bathrooms. Recommend The Greyhound for something to eat (we mean the pub, not the animal …)” The Wetheralls & Hillmans.
“... the most beautiful setting to prepare for my wedding at Upwaltham Barn. I will treasure the memories forever, as will my very excited little bridesmaids who were very disappointed that we will not be living here for ever.” Katie Jones
