Exquisite isn't a word that you can apply to very much these days, but it applies to The Stables. The location, the view, the interior all fit that description. From the moment you arrive and find a lovely afternoon cream tea prepared and waiting to be enjoyed, and a chilled bottle of bubbly ready to be popped and sipped while taking in the expansive view of the South Downs, you know your stay is going to be a special one. We were fortunate with the weather and were able to use the beautiful large pool on all but one day of our stay. And last but by no means least, Vanessa, our host, was definitely 'the hostess with the mostest', as the now old saying goes!
