Fabulous place to stay, being in a great location with parking so close to Chichester is a real bonus but the house is wonderful too. Our second visit because we loved it so much the first time! Rachel is a lovely host and nothing is too much trouble for her. The cottage is really well appointed and arriving to a fridge and bread bin stocked with essentials (and treats!) means that you can settle in really quickly without worrying about when you can have your first cuppa!

A beautiful place to stay in the most amazing location! Rachel is such a helpful and thoughtful host. Using the Clockhouse as my first place to get to know Chichester in, Rachel really helped me feel settled in and was always easy to communicate with. Thanks Rachel!

My now husband and I booked the Clock House for our micro wedding and we are SO glad we did! What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and get ready in, with everything you could possibly need, right down to small touches like spare phone chargers.Rachel had left muffins, pastries and bread for us plus milk and orange juice so we were good to go straight away. I felt immediately at home there and the courtyard space was particularly lovely to have, where we gave our parents a glass of fizz before the ceremony.We were absolutely blown away when coming back from our reception to see that Rachel had come back while we were out to tidy up and hang bunting and fairy lights for us - what a wonderful, touching surprise!I thoroughly recommend the Clock House to anyone looking for a comfortable city-centre bolt hole with lots of character. It made our day extra special!

The best one bed house we have rented in the UK. We go away a lot, so this is high praise indeed. Our favourite ever rental is in Devonport, across the water from Auckland. This is certainly more accessible!Every little detail has been carefully thought through, even including the use of a spare phone adapter.We really appreciated the fresh bakery items, flowers and the personal welcome card Rachel had left for us.Her communication was really good too.Peace, quiet, luxury and a central location - we highly highly recommended. 🙏

Always a winner for us, and first on our list when visiting Chichester.Rachel the owner goes above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met and nothing seems to be of any trouble for her... She's a true host.We have been staying at the clock house for a few years now and Rachel is continuously improving an already perfect house.. It looks great Rachel.Although it's petite and situated so close to the town centre... It provides a restful and intimate space of your own to relax and unwind in.We love it 🏡♥️

We stayed at The Clock House mid-September and I can easily say - everything was just perfect. The cottage is beyond lovely with the best little touches. Rachel has a fantastic taste and you can be assured that she thought of everything you could ever want! Chichester is a superb town with a ton of to do but for me the game changer was Rachel’s recommendations! She was incredibly attentive and available as I was creating the weekend’s itinerary (it was for my boyfriend’s 40th bday) and gave us the best tips ever. I’d give The Clock House 10/10 and I will 100% be back very soon. Thank you so much Rachel for your care and superb service!

We have just returned from two nights at The Clockhouse and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The way the house has been decorated is absolutely wonderful, and we arrived to some lovely treats (muffins and fresh fruit) as well as pastries, juice, milk, butter and bread ready to go, as well as a personalised welcome card. We thought this was a really lovely touch.The bed is super comfortable, and Rachel even organised for extra pillows to be placed on the bed at my request. We both slept so well and were really surprised at how quiet the surroundings were even though we were right in the centre of the city. The location is excellent and we were just round the corner from the many shops, bars and restaurants in Chichester centre. We went to Artie’s Kitchen for tapas which was very nice, and Boston Tea Party for brunch which was also very good.Being able to park at the property was also a definite plus, and the outside space is really lovely!We even got the fire going one evening and I think this would be really lovely in the autumn or winter.I can’t recommend this place thoughtless enough!Thank you!Caroline

The Clock HouseTop Notch - 5 Stars!!!We stayed here for the long weekend of the Goodwood Revival 2022.This accommodation is immaculate - very comfortable, secure, beautiful and tastefully decorated.So many thoughtful personal touches were included to give us a real welcome.Communication with the host was exceptional and access to the property very straightforward - particularly appreciated as we arrived late at night.Perfectly situated for local restaurants and shopping and very convenient for Chichester Railway Station.We felt like we had our own personal little fortress for the weekend (and now almost wish we could keep it secret!).Thank you so much for an excellent experience - we will be back!Sent from my iPhone

We just spent a lovely long weekend celebrating our anniversary at The Clock House. It's very close to the centre of Chichester, very handy for wandering around and shopping but sufficiently Off The Beaten Track to be nice and peaceful. It is also close to the city walls which made a lovely walk. The proprietor couldn't be more accommodating and the additional treats provided were much appreciated. Would highly recommend and would stay there again if visiting the area.

One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. The house itself is beautiful, with all the aesthetics of a lovely old building, with all the conveniences of the modern one. As well as everything you'd expect - spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and all the stuff like a TV and microwave - Rachel thought of absolutely everything - so many lovely little touches that make this a luxurious place to stay. It really felt like being in a 5 star hotel but with all the quietness and privacy of your own home. And really good value for money! The breakfast option is absolutely delicious and is fantastic value for money.
