This was an exceptional place to stay. The room was well equipped (even had coasters for drinks, a missing element in many properties we stay in!). The room was very comfortable and clean. Had some extra supplies in the bathroom if needed. Communication with Maggie was great, left us to do our own thing but texted us to check everything OK and if we needed a top up on breakfast supplies. Maggie even posted a couple of items to us we had inadvertently left behind when we left. Overall an amazing stay and will use again if we are ever in the area.

This idyllic 17th Century Chapel with its fascinating history, located in the beautiful West Sussex countryside and surrounded by fabulous open views of the South Downs provides a truly unique experience. It is situated five miles from the historical city of Chichester, with its Festival Theatre and magnificent Cathedral, six miles from the beautiful golden sands of West Wittering beach, four miles from Goodwood and its renowned events and twelve miles from historic Arundel Castle, and is a beautiful area for walking, riding and cycling and offers a wealth of cultural and outdoor pursuits. The accommodation consists of large luxurious private suites, with en-suite bathrooms, a lounge area with comfortable sofa's/chairs. There are chairs should you wish to have a drink outside or relax and watch the beautiful sunset. There are two luxurious king suites in the 17th Century Chapel with its vaulted ceilings. They are definitely not just ordinary rooms. The Chapel Suites are situated in the quiet countryside in about an acre and half a mile from the next house. There are spectacular views, with a garden overlooking the rolling countryside. A car is useful as there no pavements.
