    Exceptional b&b with very friendly and helpful hosts. The accommodation showed an attention to detail like a small fridge and during hot summer conditions a fan in the room. The garden was well landscaped with seating areas Breakfast was another strong feature having great options available and the quality was excellent.

    There was nothing we didn’t like

    It was a beautiful property decorated to a very high standard and filled with lovely pieces that had clearly been chosen with care and gathered over time. It was immaculate with everything you could need. The hosts Peter and David could not have been nicer. Very welcoming and helpful with great recommendations of places to visit and dine. The breakfast was superb and any requests were accommodated. Vicki and Simon

    We loved every minute

    Exquisite bespoke retreat. Peter's interior design talent shines through, his attention to detail, stylish clever choice of colour.The moment you step into the lovely conservatory filled with interesting plants you feel at home. This seamlessly blends with the tranquil English country garden filled with soothing layers, to rest your eyes upon. We ate our mid- summer breakfast cocooned amongst the plants, sun on our faces the sound of the pond and scent of the June roses setting us up for the day. The breakfast is indulgent , sheer quality with a great selection to suit any taste . I had a freshly prepared fruit salad with yogurt followed by eggs Florentine. Not forgetting the sourdough with lashings of David's homemade rhubarb and ginger jam. My well travelled husband commenting that this was the best Full English ever. Attention to detail is boundless , the crockery ( beautiful 🫖 teapots) the bedrooms , bedlinen and towels are immaculate with a comfortable matress for a restful nights sleep. Most of all our hosts were kind, attentive and witty. Peter even patiently listened whilst my husband nervously practised his " father of the bride speech" giving moral support when needed Superb value considering the quality of the ingredients used to create such a bespoke breakfast experience. Highly recommended.

    The Old School is just a super place. It is spotlessly clean and superbly maintained, beautifully decorated and finished and very comfortable. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful and the breakfast very good. Unfortunately it was raining when I stayed but the garden looked very pleasant. The rooms are very well supplied and the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended.

    From the moment we arrived we felt exceptionally welcome. Tea served in the beautiful garden upon arrival was exactly what we needed after a long day out and about. Our room was lovely and airy and spotlessly clean, with everything we could have needed - plenty of tea/coffee and even hot chocolate! The push for sustainability was very much noted, and carried out in an excellent manner - fresh water in stylish decanters instead of plastic bottles, wonderful! Very comfy bed, and a lovely quiet night. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and we felt rather special sat in the conservatory to eat. Peter is a fantastic host, thank you so much! We will be sure to check availability next time we are at Goodwood.
