About the host

Hosted by Mrs Nicky Cross

Host profile image
Hi everyone I am Nicky and together with my husband Peter we host Keeper's Retreat and Keeper's Lodge. I have been lucky enough to live in this area all my life and we have lived in Keeper's house adjacent to our apartments for over twenty years. We are new to VRBO but are experienced hosts. We love sharing our home with our many visitors and have taken great pride in making our accommodation everything you would expect from an elegant and stylish country retreat. Despite our experience we are never complacent and we continue to learn and strive on an ongoing basis to improve our visitor experience. Your enjoyment is our priority.

Why they chose this property

Set in the heart of the South Downs National Park and immediately adjacent to the beautiful Stansted Estate. This Idyllic rural setting provides a real 'Escape to the Country'.
This gorgeous spot is deceptively close to an array of interesting places to visit yet quiet and secluded. You can relax and unwind knowing so many interesting and beautiful things to see are just a few minutes drive away.
A prime location for Goodwood event goers who can enjoy easy access to the world renown Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed avoiding any motorway congestion.
For walkers step from your door onto a network of footpaths to explore the South Downs and neighbouring Stansted Estate or take a short drive to coastal paths around Chichester Harbour and nature reserves. We are surrounded by historic towns and villages both along the coast line and inland. Portsmouth, Chichester, Petersfield, Midhurst and many more historic places of interest are no more than a few minutes drive away.
Cyclists may enjoy a vast choice of on and off road routes that stretch across the National Park and South Downs. Walkers can step straight from their door to experience a network of footpaths over woodland and downland.

A train in nearby Rowlands Castle takes you to London in just over an hour with easy free parking at the station.
