Perfect night away.
Had such a lovely stay, great location, the staff were great, the room was perfect with a view of the cathedral... Had the best night's sleep, and as someone going through cancer I was very happy to see faith in nature products in the bathroom that smelled beautiful. Would definitely stay again.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The location and parking is excellent. It was an extremely hot weekend, but even so, having fans available for the rooms would have been good. Rooms face pub garden/courtyard....something to be aware of if you want total peace and quiet. That said very quiet at overnight.

What a gem of a place.. great location, great communication, clean comfortable rooms and a brilliant breakfast. We would definitely return and maybe spend longer as it is perfectly situated for exploring the area.
We were here for the Goodwood Members Meeting and it was only about 30 minutes drive. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Excellent
Really good find and I would certainly return if in the area. Rooms were a good size with all amenities, food in the pub was excellent and all home cooked including the pickles and relish. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The only thing I would mention is that the bathroom floor was very cold, being tiled and ground floor, however that was the only criticism I could make of a very good stay.
