Stylish Cosy Annexe in Pretty Sailing Village
Stylish Cosy Annexe in Pretty Sailing Village"This was a great high quality property. Somethings you may wish to know, due to the nature of the property they had to put a shower in a sloping roof. Which is absolutely fine if you are 5ft 8 or less. Otherwise you can not stand up straight. Also as itโs small there isnโt a dishwasher. Still we loved it apart from the shower."

The George & Dragon Inn
"The shower needed a proper deep cleaning - some mildrew and the drainage wasn't so good but the room itself was clean and pleasant looking. There was a continental breakfast which had limited choice and sadly the coffee machine was on a go slow! But the staff were helpful, and the noise from the bar wasn't too bad and did stop on time."
Harbour Hotel Chichester
"Very helpful and friendly staff, great service, breakfast was lovely I had the eggs royal,superb! Lovely room, slept well.. Would definitely stay there again."
The Cottage
"An extremely friendly welcome and excellent facilities were both on offer in this attractive family home. Good to have a private ensuite bathroom (incl bath) and a tasty breakfast served as well (+ ยฃ9). Dr Noรซl Tredinnick"
The Chichester Inn
"This is a great place to stay. Staff couldn't be more helpful."
The Vestry
"We read some of the reviews about noise from the venue below so we were a little concerned, but can honestly say did not find it that loud at all in the room we were in. The young man who checked us in was fantastic he let me into the room little earlier so I could have privacy for a job interview. We were very happy over all with everything. The breakfast the next more was lovwly and very tasty. I would recommend here to anyone staying in Chichester as its proximity to everything is great."
The Royal Oak
"Food for the evening was excellent, freshly prepared so best enjoyed on a slow evening - so worth waiting for. Also for breakfast there is a cracking full English - other fare is available and I would expect it is equally delicious. Good beer too :)"
