The Downs Stables

Gostou: Great location, well equipped, there is even a hair dryer! Very comfortable bed, great set up, fully equipped kitchen with glasses, cutlery etc. oven, microwave. 2 bathrooms and 1 shower. Very clean, hosts are super friendly and very helpful! The only minus is that in the pictures there were outside chairs besides the table, but we had our own anyways. Maybe if asked they would have prprovided👌

Do gerente: Hi Thank you for your reviews, so pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Yes always do ask , we keep the chairs stored in the building opposite to avoid rust and getting left out in the rain.

Thank you

Gostou: We were lucky and had the place to ourselves as there were no other guests while we were there. The stables are just a short walk from the centre of the lovely village which has a couple of excellent pubs. The facilities, especially the well-equipped kitchen, exceeded expectations (though perhaps this was partly because we did not need to share them). The check-in/out experience was very smooth. The host kindly allowed us to leave our bags on site after the check-out time on our final day to collect later in the day.

The location was a good base to explore this part of the South Downs. We spent one day walking from the stables out and around Cissbury Ring and Chanctonbury Ring. On our second day, we took a short bus ride to Storrington from where we walked up Kithurst Hill, along the South Downs Way to Amberley and around via Parham Park. I highly recommend both walks.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and felt the accommodation was very good value.

Não gostou: We were not able to use the barbecue as we couldn't find anywhere to buy charcoal etc., however the kitchen ended up being a better option for us anyway. Some other locations may have more walking options immediately accessible on foot without needing to travel via car or bus, however this was not a problem for us. Had we been sharing with other guests, I imagine we would have had to wait for the bathroom and kitchen facilities at times.

Do gerente: Hello
Thank you for your review, so pleased you enjoyed your stay.
The butchers in our village at the bottom of the hill sell Charcoal for the BBQ.

ALWAYS ask wherever you stay if you can't find anything rather than leave a negative review , we would have brought you some up from the house if you only asked, rather then you not use a BBQ.

We are so lucky to have direct access to the South Downs footpaths which joins the South Downs Way. You can walk for MILES in any direction and go right towards Cissbury ( National Trust ) left tp Chantonbury via gallops farm. No need to drive anywhere . All walks are immediately accessible on foot. Absolutely NO NEED to drive anywhere to go walking, AGAIN ask you literally turn left out of the POD entrance and walk past my wooden stables and you are on THE SOUTH DOWNS turn right or left and can walk for MILES either way.

Thank you

Gostou: Accommodation was perfect for my needs. Clean, tidy, comfortable and compact. Bathroom and kitchen facilities close by were more than adequate. Staying amongst the thoroughbred stables was pleasant and relaxing.
