Beautiful location
Had a fabulous weekend with friends here. Quiet location but not far from coast, local pubs and Chichester town. House was perfect for our needs as we mostly ate out though kitchen was well stocked with things we needed. Would have been nice to have more basics available like salt and pepper, dishwasher tablets and some foil or cling film. Not even a small welcome pack. The instruction booklet could have been more informative about WiFi and other house instructions. Overall a very pleasant stay and would recommend.

Lovely large barn conversion
Very well appointed barn conversion, with Chichester only a few minutes away. We had a very pleasant week exploring the local area. Beds extremely comfortable and everything we needed to hand.
