A perfect base
This is our first visit to Chichester and what lovely accommodation to explore from! We are a family of 5 plus a dog, and the accommodation was a perfect base. The treats that you provided were a wonderful base and very much welcomed by all. There are certainly places that we haven’t managed to explore so I am sure that we will be back again. Thank you for making our trip ever more special!
Barker Family
We love it
It’s wonderful to be back at the Old Grocery again. We love it here – the convenience of town and having the beach so nearby too has been amazing! Thanks for all the wonderful treats and the house was as lovely as ever with every detail well thought out. We loved Purchases and the Pallant Gallery – the café was brilliant too, especially for Sunday roast! We also attended Tom’s Midnight Garden ballet in beautiful Bishops Palace Gardens which you mustn’t miss! I’ve loved running around the city walls every morning. We had a magical day at West Wittering beach which is unmissable! Do not miss fish and chips from Ye Olde Chip Shoppe in Middleton-on-Sea – we look forward to returning in October half term!

The Old Grocery was a perfect choice for my family’s short visit to Chichester. Donna was very attentive and kind and everything went very smooth. All the little details and complimentary food made us feel at home. Right at the centre of the town, it was very convenient to access things one may need.

Character
We have very much enjoyed staying at The Old Grocery. The location is perfect and the standard of accommodation cannot be faulted. If this was our home we would be very content. Chichester is a delight – full of character, interest and of a scale that is easily appreciated in a short period. The nearby countryside has many delights on offer. We would happily return!
