• Douglas - Verified booking

  The property itself was good, and useable but with a number of caveats which may or may not affect your confidence in booking it.

  The twin bedded bedroom can only be accessed by passing through the double bedroom with implications for privacy in the double bedroom and requires users of the twin bedded bedroom to access the lounge and kitchen via the outside of the property if they are needing to avoid disturbing the occupants of the double bedroom. There was a complete absence of joining instructions other than the keycode combination and inaccurate keysafe instructions in the lid of the keysafe. In the absence of such instructions I had problems operating the keysafe to access the property, a day without hot water pending the owner providing instructions as to how this should be turned on and problems finding the name and password for the wifi as the owner had not provided these or given instructions on which of the various electronic boxes was the router or its location. This meant that I had a day of hassle whilst I contacted Sykes and the owner to get these issues resolved.

  The property is unique and beautiful, in a very quiet location in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

  The beds are comfy, there's plenty of space in the living room and dining room .There are plenty of walks from the door, a short walk to the Roman Villa in Bignor. Everything you could want is in the property. There is Wifi, but due to the thickness of the walls it works best in the living room. Telephone reception on Vodafone isn't brilliant but there is a signal in the garden. The gardens are relaxing and there is lots of space to enjoy warm summer evenings.The roads to the property are single track with passing places but are not busy. This is common in this part of the world. The property is close to all the major road links to all the exciting places you can visit in the area. We didn't drive more than 40 minutes to visit any of the attractions. Portsmouth and Brighton are both about an hour away. Overall a wonderful place to kick back, relax and de-stress whilst contemplating the centuries of people who have sat where you are sitting.

• Guest's Review On TripAdvisor - Verified booking

  My sister and I stayed in The Yeoman's House over Easter weekend with our three young children and had a fabulous time.

  The house is large and spacious and has an incredible history. The kids had an absolutely fantastic time both inside the house and running around the huge garden. With an acre to explore and a trampoline to bounce on they were never bored. We played frisbee for hours in the back garden and had an Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday which we will never forget! The owners were very helpful, giving us lots of recommendations of local pubs and places of interest before we stayed. We went to a pub they recommended for lunch which was fantastic and took the kids to Singleton Open Air Museum where we got to visit another medieval house just like the Yeoman's but without the modernisation. It was fascinating. All in all it was a unique and special experience staying in such an old house with so much character and all mod cons that we thoroughly enjoyed.

  Longmace house is a beautiful property which kept the old features and combined it with modern touches. It is bang in the middle of Arundel so was a great base to explore the town and its surrounding areas. The property was very spacious and well equipped, perfect for a family getaway or even a gathering with friends. We also luckily stayed during a weekend where the farmers market was held and it was a real treat. Although no allocated parking, I wouldn’t worry about it, plenty of car parks and on street parking, there is also free parking on mill road if you get lucky with a space. We had a restful and enjoyable stay, plenty of walks for the dog too. We highly recommend this place and Paul was very informative prior to our arrival which was a bonus.

  Perhaps one of the most intriguing houses we have used for a break.

  We found the welcome and preparation for our stay very good. There is a very friendly family-home feel to the house. All furniture was comfortable. Spacious - it is clear that a full house of six would easily be accommodated. A summer booking would also benefit from the large garden space. Parking was easy. The location, for us, was ideal - we specifically wanted to visit Chichester, but also enjoyed visits to the Chichester Harbour AONB for tranquility, tearooms (Bosham), and walks. Petworth House and Grounds are definitely worth visiting for exercise, massively interesting trees and the house. The South Downs are also well worth enjoying. In short, well placed for exploration (and eating). Highly recommended at every level.
