I had a super quick flying visit (about 8 hours!) on a last minute booking to Old Store Guest House in mid September. 2024. I was attending a conference at nearby Goodwood House, for which this B&B is perfectly located.  …

Very relaxed stay and fantastic breakfasts. hosts were very hospitable. The bed and bedding was very comfortable. We used the guest house as a base as we had some family affairs to attend to. It was great to be able to come back and relax. We were recommended the Anglesey Arms in Halnaker by the hosts for food. This was fantastic.

I had a lovely two night stay. The owner is extremely welcoming and also cooks a very fine breakfast. I followed his recommendation to book dinner at the local pub, a two minute walk down the road which was very handy and the food was also great. As a solo traveller I felt very well looked after. Highly recommended.

The Old Store was a wonderful place to stay in West Sussex. It's close to the Goodwood Estate, the magnificent West Wittering beach and the spectacular Halneker tree tunnel and windmill walks, among other delights of the region.It's full of old character but very clean, modern, comfortable and friendly, with Matthew cooking and serving a delicious, abundant breakfast to us in such a personal way.The place has soul. It invites you back like a magnet.

Everything you'd want from a B&B! Guests are in a separate part of the house, so you can come and go freely without intruding on someone's home. Comfortable well-appointed rooms. …

A charming a beautifully kept guest house. Everything in order, the room was immaculate being night and airy but keeping the charm of N older building. Matt was very helpful when we needed some things kept cooled, we also advised we needed to depart early. He even got up early to make breakfast! Highly recommended.
