    Key safe was awkward to open after the code was entered. This was due to its close proximity to the wall on its right side.

    Central, yet quiet location. Parking. Historic features with modern comforts.

    Everything was great. Perhaps a bit of background history of the building and a map in the folder would be a nice added touch.

    The lovely apartment is right in the centre of Chichester with spacious comfy bedrooms and a large sitting/dining room. The large bedroom has a wonderful vaulted ceiling and views of the cathedral spire. Everything was as needed - well equipped kitchen, iron, hairdryer, etc.

    The property has loads of character and, as a result, there are quite a number of little stairs, which some might struggle with.

    Location is excellent. Flat walking to everything. Nicely appointed, warm, good sized rooms.

    The rooms are beautiful and such a great location. Beautifully fitted out so you can cook your own stuff if you want

    We arrived in the pouring rain and had difficulty finding the allocated parking bay (some of the blue paint depicting the bays/numbers was worn away). Also it was a little difficult to open the key lockbox as there wasn't much room for your fingers to grasp the sides to pull the front down. Sorry the above is a bit of a moan but it is purely to help future visitor stays, it did not affect our break and we would love to stay again!

    The location was perfect for us and the property was so very comfortable! Thank you.

    The mirror in the bathroom was so high that I could not see myself in it. I am 5 foot 3, so not tiny!

    The property is right in the middle of Chichester and is comfortable and well-equipped. There are loads of good places to eat nearby so we didn't use the kitchen. It is also handy for the train station, theatre and pubs.

    My only (tiny) criticism is it would be nice if the bedroom furniture was more in keeping with the rest of the building. The metal cabinets look a bit out of place.

    Lovely split level flat. Super clean. Great location. All facilities. Local parking. Beautiful views. Really comfortable beds.

    Excellent stay-lovely spacious apartment with everything you need

    On arrival the layout of the property could have been explained a little better. As you drive under the archway the property is on the right hand side down a pathway and the Gate is on the right hand side. The gate to the property was VERY stiff. I was unable to open it so had to ring the emergency Canon Gate number and was told to push the gate very hard. I did this and got in, There are parking slots available in the lane outside the property. A map showing the spaces would be good as the blue paint marking the spaces has faded and is not immediately noticeable.

    The property is amazing. It is beautifully decorated. Much better than the photos can show. The lounge is situated over the stone archway and has leaded lights. The apartment has all the amenities you need and the kitchen is well equipped. The 2 bedrooms are large and have their own TV in each room. The beds are comfy and there are ample electric radiators throughout the property which we had to turn off as it was warm. Canon Gate apartment was very impressive and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is in the Cathedral Grounds (the Cathedral s magnificent) right on the high street and within a 5 minute walk to the train station with regular trains to London, Brighton, Littlehampton, Portsmouth & Southampton. There are many individual shops (still open) on the high street and plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars to walk to. A Tesco Express is nearby to pick up anything you may need. All in all we had a 5 star stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

    Everything was lovely

    I was so surprised that the sitting room area was actually the archway to the cathedral area. So historic and beautifully appointed and designed to show the old beams and quaintness of such an old building. Everything you could possibly ask for. Main bedroom has lovely view of cathedral. Equipped kitchen, bathroom, second bedroom to the front .

    Night time location on the high street was a little colourful for our young son trying to sleep in the front bedroom.

    A beautiful, exciting and relaxing property. Very comfortable. Daytime location was great, quiet, with wonderful views of the cathedral.
