We cannot recommend The Stables and Jo and Al highly enough. Everything has been thought of at the cottage, with highly comfortable beds, excellent facilities and great layout. Even little things like providing enough bin liners and toilet rolls for a week (rather than the usual “enough to get you started”) makes a real difference. Particularly excellent for staying with dogs with tether hooks for sitting outside provided and a field just outside every door. We will be back!

Very pleasant surroundings with Chichester, South Downs and beaches in easy range. Fairly close to busy road, but traffic did not annoy us as there was little at night. Very friendly owner. We'd certainly stay again if we were in the area.

We had a lovely week in the Stables. The cottage was very comfortable with everything well thought through. Being on one level it was also great for those with mobility issues. The owners were friendly and accommodating.
