This is a lovely B & B run by Lesley and Peter who were very welcoming and friendly. The room we stayed in was beautifully clean and tastefully decorated, with high quality bed linen. The bed is so comfortable - we slept like logs!! The bathroom although not ensuite is right next to the bedroom and is designated solely for guests staying in that room. Again it was spotlessly clean. The breakfast of natural yoghurt with Lesley's amazing homemade plum compote, cereals and Peter's top notch scrambled eggs with toast was delightfully simple but so much nicer than the usual, but unnecessary, full English fry up that many B & Bs feel they have to provide. My husband said they were the best scrambled eggs he'd had in a very long time, and quite possibly ever! There was orange juice and a choice of tea or coffee which were both nice and strong. We would highly recommend Windward House, and will definitely be coming back again next time we are staying overnight in the area.

Very welcoming and warm hearted owners. Located in a very accessible part of a charming village close to beautiful beaches and Chichester itself. Cycling is good here and the pace leisurely. Breakfast was superb and the room very comfortable. Pricing was at our upper limit and with no en-suite and only warm water not hot Windward did not quite make a full 5 stars.

I have now had the pleasure of staying with Lesley and Peter on two occasions in the past 9 months and really enjoyed it. I am planning another trip. The accommodation is very comfortable with Lesley's interesting breakfast adding to the pleasure.
