What our customers say about their holidays

  We arrived for the 1500hr check-in to find the patio doors open and the owner still busy inside.

  The dishwasher and washing machine were partway through their cycle and the owner departed to purchase mould remover for the bathroom. He returned with wine, chocs and strawberries which was very kind of him. However, he left with the washing machine and dishwasher still going. We then noticed that the lounge and both bedroom doors had been damaged in what appeared to be a fight, with one bedroom door sealed shut. The lounge carpets were dirty with crumbs and hairs and all surfaces were very dusty. The kitchen floor and table were also dirty with dust, hairs and crumbs with greasy surfaces. There was a lack of cutlery, crockery and drinking vessels and the sink and taps were loose and unclean, with plates etc still on the drainage tray. It was so awful that I vacuumed the entire place myself and attempted to remove the grime from bedside tables and worktops. Despite this, our friends who arrived later noticed immediately how grubby the whole place was - very embarrassing for myself as I organised this break for everyone. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also filthy and strongly reeked of cigarette smoke, with aged pillows and mismatched bed linen in one of the rooms and a blocked toilet in the other. The smell when in bed was so bad that we left the next day. The 'double' beds were also 2 single mattresses held together by a double fitted sheet which came partially off in the night and the mattresses separated to leave an annoying gap. One of the beds had spiders in it which appeared when the duvet was turned back. I spent most of the night on the settee in the lounge. This 3 day stay cost us £939 and it was terrible - I don't know how it has a 3 star rating. The owner needs to get the entire place professionally deep-cleaned and dispose of all the pillows and probably mattresses, which we didn't dare look at. And properly stock the kitchen and clean and tidy all the drawers and cupboards. And sort the doors and fix the toilet. There was also a lack of smoke alarms.

  We’re just back from an amazing stay at The Stables.

  It was so lovely to look out onto the view of the paddocks, we had a wonderful view of the horses grazing and also the three deer that like to wander onto the property. The accommodation was of an extremely high standard, not one corner has been cut. The Stables is all on ground level providing plenty of space for two people. The superking sized bed was so comfortable giving a wonderful night’s sleep. The bathroom was very modern and the shower was exceptional. The lounge/diner were perfect with a comfy sofa and also a lovely modern kitchen that had everything you’d need to provide that home from home feeling. Our hosts Jo & Neil were so friendly and welcoming, they provided a welcome basket with all the necessities you’d need to make tea and for a light breakfast and even bottle of Prosecco. We also got to meet the resident horses which was a lovely touch being huge animal lovers. The Stables was an ideal base to explore Bosham and the surrounding areas, we had a fabulous weekend and hope to return again in the near future. We cannot recommend The Stables and of course, Jo & Neil highly enough.

  The property is in need of a refurbishment,(especially what they are charging for it) it is very dated and there is a lingering stale smell.

  It looked nothing like it did in the photos on your website! Despite this the general cleanliness and maintenance was very poor. The sofa bed was stained and extremely uncomfortable to sit/sleep on. There is carpet throught including the bathrooms which is not hygenic. There was black mold on the shower curtain which is unacceptable and a potential health issue for guests. The sink in the bathroom had a plug with a bit of wire attached to it? The second bathroom has a broken/dripping shower head. The bedding was old and didn't look as if it had been cleaned and the beds weren't made properly. The mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. There was an old pub style bench on the decking so nowhere to sit and relax. Although the park itself was lovely this was just not acceptable accommodation for us to holiday in so we left after one night.

  We had a 4 night stay at The Stables and really enjoyed every minute of it.

  The place was spotless and really nicely decorated, the bed was fantastic, really comfortable and we loved the fact it was so big.There was also a really lovely bathroom with a great sized walk in shower.The kitchen was also very well designed. The are outside was so nice too, very quiet, just the sound of the birds, we also saw rabbits , deer and a barn owl.We found that The Stables were situated in just the right area to visit all the places we wanted to see without too much of a drive out. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends and would love to come back sometime Thanks very much Jo and Neil, the welcome hamper was a really nice touch

  This property was in a perfect location for us.

  We are a multi generational family and it suited us all. We had days out further afield as well as 3 days in Selsey itself. The owner Jacqueline was very attentive and there were lots of thoughtful touches that we very much appreciated. We were very comfortable and warm and the views from the balcony are spectacular. We would definitely stay again. We had a few problems with the Wi-Fi but this was mentioned in the original listing and we happily sacrificed this for the stunning location. Thank you
