How guests rate the property, aspect by aspect.
Everything was exceptionally clean, the linen and towels were high quality, the bed was comfortable, and there were many extras. Parking is on site, and there’s a great pub right across the road. The only issue is that brushing teeth is tricky because the basin is tiny and located under a glass shelf.

The room was spacious and perfect for visiting friends in Milland, with many thoughtful touches upon arrival and Kim going the extra mile to personalize the stay; the pub just over the road, The Rising Sun, was great. Everything was great.

The Nest, a charming apartment above a garage, was beautifully arranged with everything needed for a weekend plus extra niceties like milk, a range of teas and coffees, breakfast pastries, snacks, and alcoholic drinks; a basket of toiletries, including toothbrushes, showcased the attention to detail. The bed was very comfortable, hot water plentiful, and a radiator warmed the room in the morning. A kettle, toaster, microwave, and small fridge let us prepare breakfast easily. The weather was wet and windy, so we spent little time in the village, but the small community shop and cafe were cute. The nearby pub was lively; booking a table outside the bar is advisable because the bar area was noisy. Vegetarian options were limited. Kim made the place cozy and welcoming, resulting in a lovely stay. The Wi‑Fi was non‑functional, and the phone signal was weak, so the TV didn’t work either, preventing us from catching rugby or Goodwood, which meant we spent more time at the pub. Kim and her husband tried to fix it but failed. Despite this, the positives outweighed the negatives, and Kim’s thoughtfulness kept the rating high. We’re not very tall, but the sloped ceilings require caution.

We stayed two nights while attending an event at Goodwood and absolutely loved it. I had contacted the owners before arrival to confirm our check‑in time and they welcomed us warmly. The location was ideal, with a top‑tier pub just around the corner. The property was exceptionally clean, tidy, and well stocked with fun snacks and cold drinks in the fridge. This was the perfect weekend stay for us and will be our first choice next time.

There were many nice little touches, the place was extremely clean and well maintained, and it was perfect for a one‑ or two‑night stay. On‑site parking and a great pub over the road added to the appeal, and the quiet location was a bonus. Nothing to add.
