Hotels near Goodwood Aerodrome - QUG, Chichester

Visited Chicester for a couple of hours yesterday. Parking was easy and the charges were very responsible. What a beautiful thriving High Street. Lovely mixture of shops. Due to limited time we only managed to walk through the cloisters. The cathedral looked beautiful from outside. Nice walk through Bishops Palace gardens too. Would definitely recommend a visit. Savouries & cakes were purchased from The Cornish Bakery which were delicious. Visited The hole in the Wall pub in the evening with family (13 of us) for an evening meal. The ladies working the bar were lovely as was the chef who was very accommodating with dietary requirements.

The house was very clean and tidy in and out. There were some toys at the living room that my kids really loved. Also a piano to play with. WiFi was working perfect. Finding some essentials including sunflower oil, washing up liquid, some sweets made us smile. Tissues, hand wash and clean towels were in both the toilets. Kitchen and dining facility were excellent including the oven, microwave and the equipments. On top of everything the garden was so beautiful and had a very good impression on us. Overall it’s been an excellent experience staying in this house.

The house was ideally positioned with easy access to main roads across the south coast of England. Easy to get to the ferry port in Portsmouth and to go to Brighton. Chichester is very close and has all types of cusine and is a nice city to visit for a day out. Lovely traditional high street shopping.

Lovely rural location surrounded by many pretty villages and within easy reach of the seaside. We visited West Wittering which was a great hit with the children, as was walking in the conservation area near by. In the surrounding areas there were plenty of lovely pubs with gardens suitable for families. A trip to Arundel Castle was a highlight! A delightful area with much to explore.

The city centre is pedestrianised with a very enjoyable relaxed feel. The people in Chichester seem warm, welcoming and friendly. Lots of shops cafes and restaurants, many that are like the Tardis, they go back and back and end in a surprising garden. Pallant House Gallery is an amazing gallery of modern British art. They tell me that they can only show a fraction of their collection at any particular time, so a return visit will definitely be on the cards. Also loved the Cathedral, Chichester Festival Theatre, Georgian architecture and Bishops Garden. Lots of hidden places that I feel I have yet to discover. Relatively undiscovered gem! Look forward to another visit.

I love Chichester. I go there for the theatre which is one of the best and always good for a summer musical. Apart from that, there is a beautiful cathedral, parks, a city wall for walks, a canal, many restaurants and pubs and great shops, especially the charity shops with exceptional clothes. It is one of my favourite towns.
