Reviews

This property is ideally situated in a quiet rural location but within a few minutes drive of the main arterial route that runs along the south coast of England. There is ease of access to the coast and to the hinterland of the South Downs. The accommodation is clean and well appointed in all aspects. The kitchen has everything you need should you decide to cook during your stay. The beds are comfortable. The downstairs bedroom has an ensuite suitable for someone with a physical disability. The owner was extremely generous in her provision of a welcome pack, appreciated by the entire family. She is at hand to answer questions and to provide advice, but is in no way intrusive. The property is secure and, for those inclined to do so, there are walks from the door through woods and onto downland. We would have no hesitation in returning.

Have just spent a lovely week at this wonderful cottage. The location of the cottage is ideal for visiting Arundel, Portsmouth, The South Downs Way and other areas of West Sussex. The cottage is very well equipped and the owners provide many little extras which were very much appreciated. The owners Roger and Lindsay live next door and were happy to give advice about the local area. We were fortunate to have a week of good weather so as well as exploring the local area, we spent some time enjoying the weather using the patio area at the cottage. Perfect for soaking up the sun . Would definitely stay at this place again

This is a very well kept and equipped cottage. The owner was very pleasant and helpful. We would recommend Woodend Annexe as an excellent place to stay to discover the south coast area.

Rated by Mr Jones reviewed on 3rd July 2016

The standard of everything at Woodend Annexe was excellent and lots of lovely touches made it perfect. The cottage was first class and every thing was lovely and clean. I cannot fault anything. The owners were the perfect hosts.

Rated by Miss Mackenzie reviewed on 26th June 2016

Woodend Annexe was a home from home. The owners had thought of everything. The garden is beautiful and very private. Perfect for sitting in on a warm evening or having an Al Fresco breakfast. The whole experience was fantastic and we will be returning next year. I would wholeheartedly recommend Woodend Annexe to anyone who wants to stay in a home from home in beautiful surroundings.

Rated by Mrs Bradick reviewed on 19th June 2016

A beautiful property in great location. The friendly and welcoming owners had thought of everything - all you need to bring are your clothes!

Rated by Mrs Allison reviewed on 5th June 2016

We have just spent a fantastic week at Woodend Annexe. We are three pensioners and I did ring Roger and Lyndsey before booking to clarify a few points. They were so helpful and the accommodation was ideal for our needs. The wet room downstairs was perfect. There are so many places locally both to eat and visit and there is information available in a well-presented booklet at the Annexe. It is just off the A27 and easy to find, although it is so peaceful there, sitting outside on the patio was our favourite afternoon activity, you would not believe you were so close to the road. The house was a veritable home from home, clean, well furnished and everything catered for. There was a welcome pack including bread, milk, orange juice etc but also a bottle of Prosecco and a card for my Mum's 90th birthday, such a nice touch. We go away every year with Mum and we are going to find it so difficult next year to find somewhere as good. Thanks for a lovely week guys!!

We have never stayed in such a beautiful and well equipped cottage. The hosts were friendly and went out of their way to ensure everything was perfect for us. The fixtures and fittings are of a very high quality.

The owner of Woodend Annexe was most welcoming & helpful. The property is in a very quiet & peaceful location. Convenient for travel east & west with both Chichester & Arundel nearby.

Rated by Mr Rochester reviewed on 14th February 2016

The property was located in a great part of England with central access to Arundel, Portsmouth & Littlehampton. Woodend Annexe was perfect for our family, having two bathrooms was definitely a bonus.

Liked everything! The owners & extended family were friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. The accommodation was superb and the setting was beautiful. Complete privacy in a small enclave of houses owned and lived in by the family.

Rated by Mrs White reviewed on 11th May 2015

Private and secluded yet very close to all amenities. Lovely comfortable premises in a fantastic location and owned by a very friendly family who were keen for you to enjoy your holiday. They were pleased to offer any assistance you may need.

A perfect location to explore both the coast and countryside. Excellent if you are a horseracing fan - close to Fontwell and Goodwood racecourses. Property both clean and comfortable. Very friendly hosts.

Extremely well equipped - more comfortable than any other property we had stayed before! Top quality!

Rated by Mrs Graf reviewed on 19th October 2014

Woodend Annexe superb; in small enclave of houses, but still totally secluded, though help from owner available if required.

Rated by Mrs White reviewed on 7th September 2014

The hosts were very welcoming, the cottage was very homely and comfortable with everything that we needed and more. Lovely touch of the coffee machine, biscuits, bread, milk and juice on arrival. The outdoor area looked great, but the weather was a little bit against us to use it. Wifi was a bonus and enabled us to book the ferry whilst on holiday. There was plenty of parking and it was private and secluded, yet close to the major roads. A great location for exploring this area. We'd definitely recommend this property.

Rated by Mrs Baxter reviewed on 18th August 2014

Great accommodation and owners most helpful. Good walks around and also convenient for Arundel sightseeing.

Nice holidays, nice people, nice place .

Rated by Mrs Gupta reviewed on 6th July 2014

The cottage was absolutely everything we could have wished for. The owners could not have done more to make our holiday complete. The extra touches provided were just lovely and much appreciated. The location was just right for the places we wished to visit. We have booked with Sykes before but this is our best property to-date.

Rated by Mr Tarbun reviewed on 23rd June 2014

The cottage was so secluded and away from it all. The owners were excellent hosts. All the furnishings and bed linen were of the best quality. All the major attractions of the area were easily accessible. We would recommend this cottage to anyone.

Rated by Mrs Cox reviewed on 8th June 2014

One of the best cottages we have stayed at! Exceptionally provided with lots of little extras - from lovely welcoming flowers in the conservatory and a welcome pack of useful provisions to start us off. The décor of the house was lovely with very nice furniture and beds with quality linens. This all helped to make a very happy holiday. We also loved looking out on the very pretty garden. The situation of the annex is very good being accessible to so many interesting places and near beautiful countryside.

Rated by Mr Cox reviewed on 11th May 2014

We had the best stay in Woodend Annexe we could have wished for. The cottage exceeded our expectations on every level. The owners are the perfect hosts, by no means intrusive but very helpful when needed. Woodend Annexe is spacious, clean and luxurious. Although there was only three of us (2 adults, one 5-year old), three more guests would have fitted easily. The cottage is nicely situated on a private road, with easy access to everything West Sussex has to offer. We can recommend a stay in Woodend Annexe to anyone.

Rated by Mr Blaauw reviewed on 9th May 2014

Lovely property in a great location. Owners live next door and are a great source of local information. Lots of extra little touches provided that made it a great place to stay. I would highly recommend a stay here.

A superbly furnished and comfortable property. Very enjoyable. The owners were very attentive and helpful. I would love to go again.

Rated by Mr Cook reviewed on 29th March 2014

I booked this for my husband and son as a cycling holiday. They were made very welcome by Lindsey and Roger on their arrival. The cottage was well appointed and equipped. There was food to get you started too. This is a family business and rest of the family live in the other cottages on the road. They were able to get some cycling in and walks of the surrounding area. They enjoyed their stay very much

My wife and three children stayed at Woodend Annexe this year and I can't recommend it enough. The beautifully kept cottage is on a quiet tiny road in Fontwell next door to the owners, Lindsay and Roger and their extended family. Moving into Woodend for just a few days, we were treated like family. Lindsay and Roger were the perfect hosts, looked after us whenever we needed something and let us enjoy our break without intrusion. They were charming and so was Woodend. The decor is tasteful and luxurious and the finishing touches and the attention to detail were very much appreciated. The cottage was cosy but comfortably housed all five of us in three different rooms. Lindsay and Roger had thought of everything and had even supplied us with a decent cot and bedding for our baby. The location is perfect for day trips and walks and visits to Fontwell Park, Arundel, Chichester and so many interesting places in Sussex and it doesn't hurt to be a few minutes walk from a great pub "The Old Stables". We immediately felt at home here and are already planning our next trip. What's great is that Lindsay's daughter, Debbie, lives next door and has a fantastic beauty salon where you can book treatments / massages. My wife took advantage of this and was raving about it. We definitely felt spoilt and are so glad we found this treat. Hope it can become a regular stay. Thanks again Lindsay and Roger. PS. If you happen to be in Arundel, you must visit Castle Chocolates. The best sweets and chocolate we've had for years and the owner is a charming gentleman.
