Classic Old English charm! Stayed in a cottage!
This historic hotel was right in the middle of town perfect to pub crawl or thrift shopping. The park is located right behind the property. It was a personification of an old English Stay!

UK South 2025
Friendly staff and great service.
No aircon but pedestal fan, our room did get warm but no problem for us as Australians we are use to warm days and nights.
Did not try breakfast but did have dinner, table staff very attentive and the meals were well presented and delicious.
We were advised Chichester is a small town but still plenty to see and do, most thing with easy walking distance.
Good bus network if required.
Hotel is 10-15 minutes from Railway station, so not too far.
Will stay again if our future travels include the South UK.

Hot day - but good service
I stayed on a very hot day. The room allocated was high up in the property. There was no a/c and the windows could only be opened an inch or two due to seagull guards. Lovely place but my room was incredibly hot, which was a shame. I will stay there again though if possible as it has a great central location

Beautiful rooms, comfortable beds . Property is beautiful- pictures shown are accurate. Lift! Very convenient walking distance to centre of Chichester, the Festival Theatre and other attractions but just at the edge of the pedestrian area so I could have a taxi pick me up in front when I left
