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.

We had a fabulous stay for the Goodwood Members meeting in April 2024. It was ideally located for a taxi to the circuit, or taxi into Chichester CBD and shops. Everything was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. The only minor criticism we would have was no soap or shampoo - which we hadn’t brought with us from Australia. AirBNB in Australia routinely provide these so we hadn’t thought to do so. The very thoughtful welcome gift was fabulous. As was the convenience of being able to self-cater if we wished and wash clothes. We’d highly recommend this gorgeous places with a stunning garden. We will definitely return.

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.

I had a really good stay. The whole place was very clean, comfortable, and very convenient with a shop just around the corner and an easy walk or drive into Chichester.
I will book again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Having both worked from home since mid March we decided to head to Chichester for a change of scene. We saw Castleton on the internet and booked it. We couldn't have been more delighted upon arrival with a lovely note and welcome treates from Richard and Astrid the owners, as well as some wonderful cut flowers from their garden. We immediately felt very relaxed and at home at Castleton. They are a lovely couple and were their for advice and any help we needed during our stay, but left us very much to ourselves to enjoy our break. Castleton is ideally situated for the town centre, shops, restaurants and the fabulous cathedral, which are all about a ten minute walk away, as is the Festival Theatre. There is a small convenience store just around the corner too which is handy. Castleton is also close to Goodwood and only twenty minutes by car from Portsmouth and Gunwharf Quays.
The accommodation is generous in size and the décor is very tasteful with neutral colours. The lounge is comfortable and cosy and there is a good kitchen. we cooked on several evenings and found every utensil we needed was there.
Upstairs is a and large and calming bedroom with a good size wardrobe and chest of drawers. An extremely comfortable and luxurious bed and great en-suite with a good shower. All areas have good natural daylight and the sun fills the lounge in the mornings. The area is also very quiet so sleeping with the windows open didn't disturb us. The white shutters at all the windows allow privacy as well as creating a light and airy feel to the rooms. Things like hair dryer, ironing board and iron and clothes dryer are all there. There is even a good selection of maps and books showing some great walks in the South Downs. We couldn't fault it and we've already decided that we'll make a return visit in the future and use it as our base to further explore this lovely part of the south coast. To find somewhere this good is rare when booking on the internet these days and it made our stay a real treat!

I was staying in Chichester visiting family. I've rented a couple of properties in Chichester before, but none were as comfortable and homely as Castleton. The property is a self-contained 'annex' over two floors, but feels like a little house in its own right. Downstairs is a kitchen and living room area. It contains a nice sofa and smart TV (with Netflix etc) as well as a table for dining and working. Upstairs is a vast double/ensuite bedroom. The property is tastefully decorated throughout and in excellent condition. The kitchen is fully-equipped. The bed is very comfortable. The owners made us feel very welcome, leaving an assortment of goodies. They were happy to help with any questions we had. I stayed because the property was convenient to my family, but if you are visiting Chichester for the first time then it's well situated; equidistant from the city centre and the beautiful Lavant/Goodwood walks/countryside to the north. Perfect for couples or single travellers.

The place is charming and conveniently located. The garden is beautiful, as Astrid is a florist. Loved talking plants with her.

Castleton is a lovely annex in walking distance of Chichester, but also well serviced by a bus for those less able. The annex had all the facilities we coukd ask for, and most importantly a lovely comfortable bed for an excellent night's sleep. The owners were on hand if we needed anything but did not intrude even though we were next door. All in all a lovely stay and I would recommend Castleton to anyone.

We spent a lovely week at Castleton in May this year. The accommodation was perfect for two people, very homely and tastefully decorated throughout. The Annexe was well equipped with everything you could need. The small issue we had with their toaster was resolved with an immediate replacement, which was a clear sign of the owners consideration for their guests. The owners were very friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge and even offered us the use of their beautiful garden. The sunny patio was a lovely place to sit and have a drink.

The location was excellent for exploring Chichester town, only a 20 minute walk away. It also provided easy access to the South Downs and Goodwood, within minutes by car. Chichester Theatre is easy to visit, being a nice gentle stroll through the park.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Castleton and look forward to returning soon.
