We had a lovely week in the Stables. The cottage was very comfortable with everything well thought through. Being on one level it was also great for those with mobility issues. The owners were friendly and accommodating.

The converted farmhouse building is situated in a very private non residential area. It is adjacent to the owner’s farmhouse. Its position very close to Chichester & only a short drive from Portsmouth offers many places to explore. Unfortunately like most holiday cottages the lounging settee is of a modern design & not particularly comfortable. The master bedroom would benefit from a set of drawers. The two en suite bathrooms are very spacious, each with a large cubicle shower.My wife & I enjoyed our stay (even though the weather wasn’t in our favour) and would recommend The Stables to those wishing to explore West Sussex.
