About this property

Castleton , Chichester - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom

Castleton is a very well appointed character two story annex with a garden, close to Chichester city centre and Goodwood motor circuit (perfect for Revival and all the Goodwood events.
The annex itself offers a large open-plan sitting and dining area, with the kitchen set back in one corner. You can relax on the very comfy sofas and on colder nights and cosy up under a blanket watching the smart TV. The kitchen area is well equipped and includes a kettle, Delongi coffee machine, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave and toaster.
Upstairs there is a large bright bedroom with a king size bed (can be split into 2 singles) and an en-suite shower room.
This property also offers WIFI and a parking space for one car and secure bike storage.
Castleton is only an easy 15 minute walk from Chichester city centre. It is also within walking distance of the famous Festival Theatre and Cathedral, as well as both local and larger shops, making it an ideal location from which to be based. Chichester is an historic city with strong Roman connections and has an enormous array of things to do and places to visit. The city is blessed with a variety of beautiful architecture, with great care having been taken to preserve its character. The ancient walls surround the city centre and one can walk along them, through various scenic parks. There is a thriving tennis and squash club, along with various fitness and health clubs and there is a selection of shops and restaurants, the latter offering excellent choices for the most varied culinary tastes.
Just to the north of Chichester are the stunning South Downs, with lovely rolling countryside and as well as many picturesque Downland villages. There is the Goodwood horse racing track to visit, along with the world famous motor sports events held annually, such as the Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival. Golf is also available at Goodwood and the polo at Cowdray Park, near Midhurst, is just a short drive away. There is excellent sailing in Chichester Harbour, as well as windsurfing at the Witterings and diving at Bracklesham Bay. London is less than 2 hours away, either by road or rail.

Pretty and comfortable holiday home in north Chichester

We enjoyed our stay at Castleton. The Annexe is very attractive and has been well fitted out as a holiday home. We liked being able to sit out on the very pretty patio and look at the lovely garden. It was also very convenient for the city centre; we walked to the Minerva Theatre in about 20 minutes. The Annexe is also very well insulated. This was a blessing during the recent hot spell of weather when the house kept very pleasantly cool.

A Very Special Place

The owners of this house have gone the “extra mile” to make it a home from home. The kitchen was very well equipped, everywhere was spotlessly clean and the decor very tastefully done. Little touches like vases of fresh flowers and welcome treats were a joy.

Family visit

The cottage is tastefully designed and provides everything needed for a week away from home. The owner had even put flowers from her own beautiful garden in each room. The cottage is charming and only a mile from the centre of Chichester. My only difficulty was trying to work a modern electric hob as I don't have one at home. I did look online and sort of managed to get by. I'm sure I will be back.

Excellent base for exploring Chichester and the surrounding area

Castleton is a lovely characterful annexe with many individual touches. It had all we needed for a five night stay, providing a very comfortable base for exploring the area. The location was excellent being a twenty minute walk through a park to reach the city and very close to beautiful countryside for a country walk. There is much of interest close by in the area including West Dean Gardens which we particularly enjoyed. Richard and Astrid, who live in the ajoining house were exceptional hosts: friendly without being intrusive. Richard very kindly helped me by pumping up a deflated tyre which he noticed on our arrival and directing me to the local Kwik Fit. This was one of the best self catering accommodation that we have stayed in. We will definitely try to book it again when we revisit the area.

Great location, super hosts

We couldn’t have hoped for a better base than this for our two weeks in Chichester. This comfortable and well-appointed property is in a great location for access to the town, the theatre and the south downs. The hosts were incredibly helpful and attentive to every need. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem!

Tucked away in a lovely street in Chichester this is the ideal place for a couple to have a break. On arrival there is off road parking on the driveway and it was easy to obtain the keys from the key safe. There was a fantastic basket of goodies left in the kitchen for us by our hosts. Castleton was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The addition of little posies of flowers dotted around the place was a nice touch and they were taken from our hosts beautiful garden which the kitchen window overlooks. We had everything we needed and an enormous, comfortable bed. It's the perfect base for visiting many places in the area and there is a lovely, handwritten booklet giving details of places to go and useful phone numbers if required. The wi-fi code was left so that we could easily locate it and was excellent. We met our hosts, Astrid and Richard, on several occasions and they were so friendly and it was a joy to stay at their property and we certainly intend to return.

This was our second stay at Castleton, the previous one being in 2019. The cottage was as lovely as we remembered it, well equipped and comfortable, perfect for a visit to Chichester. Astrid and Richard are welcoming and the extra basket of treats was a lovely surprise. Would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Weeks break

My wife and I had a weeks break at Castleton. Our hosts could not have been nicer. They have a beautiful garden and home. A welcoming basket was laid out for us. The house is only a 5 minute drive to Chichester Town. Nice walks round the area and plenty sites to visit. Would stay there again.

Best holiday rental you could possibly wish for

We were blown away by Castleton with Richard and Astrid being the most amazing hosts - nothing was too much trouble for them. We loved the additional welcome touches - beautiful flowers, chocolates and biscuits. We stayed here for 2 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. This is truly the first place I've stayed where I didn't need the extras I normally take with me - they really had thought of everything so for once cooking in a strange kitchen was a pleasure. It has a huge spacious bedroom (and very comfy bed!!). Can't recommend it highly enough!

Could not have been better

Really excellent stay. Castleton is immaculate and a credit to the owners Richard and Astrid who were very friendly and offered helpful advice about the are. The annexe was furnished and equipped to a very high standard with everything that you could need for a short break. Chichester is delightful and the walks in and around Chichester Harbour were stunning. Would recommend East Head at West Wittering, Bosham and in particular going to Chichester Marina to catch the sunset. Cant wait to come back.

Fantastic Cottage

Fantastic cottage, ideally located for city centre, private, free parking, very quiet. Beautiful garden to sit in and enjoy the sunshine. Lots of written local information. Friendly, helpful owners, we had car trouble during our stay, owners were very supportive. We had some lovely treats waiting for us on our arrival, much appreciated. We would certainly stay again and will be recommending the cottage to family and friends. A week wasn't long enough to visit all the local attractions.
