About this property

A charming and unique cottage in the centre of Chichester - sleeps 3

This is a stunning, peaceful and unique cottage set in the centre of Chichester, though once you step inside you wouldn't believe you are in the centre of town. Arriving at the cottage there is off road parking for two vehicles.

Entering the cottage through the front door you will be surprised at its size, the rooms are so much bigger than you would expect from a fairy tale cottage. The sitting room has a lovely log burner and the host provides logs for the first night, there is comfortable seating, a TV and the room is open through to the dining area which has a table to seat 4. The pretty shuttered windows surrounding the room look onto the cottage garden. Through the wooden double doors you will find the kitchen which has been well equipped so you can comfortably self cater for your stay including oven and hob, microwave and fridge. There is also a further fridge and a freezer in the garage to the cottage, along with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Downstairs you will find a small double room and a shower room. For the more agile in your party you will find a further bright and sunny room on the first floor with a super king size bed and a hidden sitting area with dressing table.

Outside the pretty cottage garden is bright and sunny with a raised decking area with seating so you can sit out and enjoy the summer evenings.

This cottage truly is a dream to stay in and the hosts have gone to every trouble to marry the unique architecture and traditional features with modern conveniences.
Located less than half a mile from Chichester city centre and the famous Chichester Festival Theatre, Truffle Cottage is an ideal base for those keen to explore the sights and sounds of this historic city. The city's origins date back to the pre-Roman era, but for the last 900 years the skyline of the city has been dominated by its cathedral. The city centre offers a great range of both independent and high street shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. The cottage is also close to the "Centurion Way", a popular walking and cycling route that leads north from Chichester, following the route of an old railway line that linked the city to the villages of Lavant and West Dean. Chichester train station is very nearby and can be reached in 20 minutes on foot. London Victoria is also less than 2 hours away, with direct trains from Chichester to London Victoria. Direct trains travel all along the south coast also.

Other local attraction include the Goodwood Estate, known around the world for both its horse racing and the Glorious Goodwood week, as well as its motor racing events that include the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. One of the best beaches on the south coast is located at West Wittering, to the south of Chichester. With the excellent road and rail links, it is also easy to visit the cities of Portsmouth, famous as being home to the Royal Navy, and Brighton, which has a wonderful array of shops and bars.

Delightful Cottage
A lovely bijou cottage ideal for two friends or a couple. Bathroom downstairs but very spacious, lovely big shower. Bed linen of very high quality. Proximity to main road meant easy access to city centre and travelling out of the city and going to the Festival Theatre (on foot) so even though it looks rural in photos it is not in rural location.

1/5 Terrible

Judith M.

Noisy traffic
The roadway immediately outside the cottage detracted from what should have been a peaceful visit. The cottage itself was pleasant but dark and we were unable to to admit light through the front windows due to there being no curtains, only wooden shutters throughout. None of these fitted properly. The sofa was uncomfortable in a room with absolutely no natural light unless the door was open to the elements. The house was not as well cleaned as expected on arrival with spiders and dust prevalent. The kitchen was not as well equipped as we were led to believe having only one saucepan with a lid and a frying pan which was a disgrace and had to be scrubbed before use. Access for a car was difficult due to the excessive speed of traffic despite a 30 mph limit. Heavy lorries in particular causing much disturbance 24/7. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were unsubstantial.

3/5 Okay

Disappointed
Good location for all local attractions, town and waterways. Easy to find and quaint property. Welcome gifts and flowers were a nice touch. Situated by a busy noisy road. Not as clean as I would have expected as I I understood it would be "covid cleaned" (the rug was stained) and needs some attention e.g. handles loose and cupboards do not close properly, the bathroom sink dripped and the toilet too. The water was hot in the shower but shower heads not set well so you couldn't stand under the water. Couldn't use the upstairs bedroom as the stairs were so narrow and the banister was a rope so felt too unsafe for me. There was no hanging space in the downstairs bedroom. Living area dark so had to have the lights on or keep the back door open. I didn't use the log burner but heating was good.
