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.

  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.

  Longmace house is a beautiful property which kept the old features and combined it with modern touches. It is bang in the middle of Arundel so was a great base to explore the town and its surrounding areas. The property was very spacious and well equipped, perfect for a family getaway or even a gathering with friends. We also luckily stayed during a weekend where the farmers market was held and it was a real treat. Although no allocated parking, I wouldn’t worry about it, plenty of car parks and on street parking, there is also free parking on mill road if you get lucky with a space. We had a restful and enjoyable stay, plenty of walks for the dog too. We highly recommend this place and Paul was very informative prior to our arrival which was a bonus.

  We loved our stay at Longmace and had a great time. The cottage was restored to an extremely high level and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was superb. Communication with the owner was really good and he answered any queries/questions promptly and helpfully. We would definitely return to this amazing place. From our perspective the only downside is that there is no outside space but that is made clear in the particulars and may only cause an issue in the summer. However, the location almost negates that. We also felt that due to the fact that this is a very old building, the structure is such that in two of the bathrooms you need to be a ninja to negotiate the space!

  This cottage is beautiful, so tasteful updated . There is everything you need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing . We would definitely stay again hopefully very soon . We were given clear instructions before our visit so when we arrived we knew exactly what to do . The house was nice and warm and cosy so we soon felt at home . The house is right in the centre of Arundel which was really convenient for cafes and restaurants and shops !!! We even had an antique fayre in the square on the Sunday which was fun
