Relatively newly converted cottage so everything in good condition; great sofas, great shower. But do be aware that the bed is very low to the ground which may be a problem for some. Great location for walks straight out from the cottage.

A very clean and well presented cottage with lovely shower. No friendly greeting, which we have come to expect. Just an 'hello' would have been appreciated. In fact, didn't see the owners the entire time of our short four night stay, not even to ask if everything was satisfactory. Although the description does point out that the bed is a Scandinavian bed and low down, we need to stress the Scandinavian bed is very uncomfortable, like sleeping on a plank of wood. We would recommend bringing a topper for the bed, if you want a good night's sleep! It really did mar our stay. Must stress that we have never experienced this before, and we have stayed in quite a few Classic cottages...all very comfortable. Can't stress this enough. We were seriously thinking of packing up and returning home. Lack of sleep is not good.......

We're so sorry to hear that the bed didn't suit you - it is very hard to find something that ticks the boxes for everyone, and we're really disappointed that we weren't aware of your discomfort during your break. Both we and the owners would have loved the opportunity to try to improve your stay if possible, although the owners do aim to balance the level of interaction with guests so as not to disturb their stay unnecessarily. Our team are available in the office and we email all guests during their stay to check that everything is going well, so please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions during future holidays. We so appreciate you sharing your thoughts now and were pleased that you found the property generally clean and well presented. Tanya, Customer Support...

The Old Stables is a beautifully converted historic building, and extremely comfortable. It is very well equipped and once we got the hang of the underfloor heating and wifi were all set up. It is ideally situated to explore West Sussex and we enjoyed visits to Bosham, Chichester, Arundel and West Wittering - all in easy reach. Top tip: There is a newly opened café Mamawu literally around the corner that serves excellent breakfasts, lunch and coffee/cakes (even cocktails but we didn't indulge this time!). We were very reluctant to go home and will look to book again. ...

Beautifully appointed cottage, high spec kit and furnishings, very comfortable. There is some road noise, but the geography makes this inevitable…but bird song and a short walk to the harbour made up for it.
