We had a brilliant time at Woodacre - Kevin and Sue were incredibly attentive and went the extra mile to help us and make great local recommendations. The breakfast was lovely on each day and they were really accommodating of my allergies. The B&B was easy to find and was clean, well decorated and comfortable, plus plenty of parking. We would definitely come again and recommend to others!

Our first experience with a B&B in England and a great one! Sue and Steve are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. Everything very clean and cared for. Wonderfully quiet rooms and a varied breakfast overlooking a beautiful garden. Sue and Steve enjoy doing it and you can see that in everything.

We had an excellent stay at Woodacre and would certainly recommend this B&B to others. Tucked off the A27 but the location was surprisingly quiet. The property has a large, beautiful garden which is the backdrop for the breakfast room. …

We had a wonderful stay at Woodacre. Sue and Kevin made us feel so welcome and it was lovely to have tea and home-made cake on arrival. We felt very comfortable with lots of Covid-safe measures in place, which didn’t detract at all from our stay. We had the family room and our own little patio area where we had (a delicious) breakfast each morning, overlooking the beautiful garden. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Sue and Kevin were on hand for lots of advice about places to go and things to do but were never overbearing – they got the balance just right. There is lots to do nearby, including visiting Arundel Castle and the Weald and Downland museum, both of which are well worth seeing. It was very peaceful and we felt very well looked after. We would love to go back.

Sue and Kevin were brilliant hosts! Welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The room was really clean and comfortable with immediate access to the gorgeous garden where we were served breakfast every morning. Our hosts even provided complimentary assortment of healthy snacks to fuel our adventures in the West Sussex countryside! Our weekend was unforgettable! Thank you!
