This was our 2nd time at Lock Cottage. We were working at Goodwood Revival. The house was wonderful to come back to each evening. Comfortable, well equipped kitchen, great bedrooms, and bathrooms for each one. The beds are So comfortable, great showers. Wonderful quiet location. We hope to return next year.

Third year coming to Cottage and it just suits us so well. Six adults can share this property easily and it works. Kitchen is a little dark but lights on - no issue. Love the fact that we can cook there and everything available- just take a photo of how the "beastie" in the kitchen works and all will be well. Such a comfortable home from home, thank you. Next year - a real possibility - hee hee .

Gorgeous cottage only metres away from the start of the Chichester canal, with a lovely coffee shop and restaurant a few minutes walk away. The cottage was tastefully decorated and perfectly equipped. We loved the coastal theme throughout. The lovely courtyard garden was the perfect spot to enjoy a good book. Highly recommended.

I spent the week at Old Lock Cottage with my parents. The cottage is one of the best we have ever stayed in. Very spacious and well equipped. The ground floor bedroom and bathroom were ideal for my mum as she has mobility issues. The kitchen had every item/appliance you can think of. Lovely quality towels, linen, hairdryers provided and even hot water bottles if you get cold! The location was excellent - a very short walk to Chichester marina in one direction and Birdham Pool in the opposite direction. A great base for visiting Chichester, Arundel Castle, the Witterings etc. We would definitely consider coming back.

Old Lock Cottage is in a stunning location next to the lock which leads over to the Marina. We were a party of 4 and 2 of us were celebrating our birthday! The cottage has good accommodation sleeping 6 people - but as we were 2 couples it would have been better if the 2nd bedroom upstairs had a double bed - the bedroom downstairs with the double bed is quite small. We all felt very comfortable there - it was just a shame that there is no welcome pack - I.E. basic provisions - and took a while to find the information pack - we never did work out how to operate the TV! But our stay was perfect with lots of great pubs and places to eat locally. It was a joy every morning to be able to walk out and look at the water and have swans flying over your head!! I hope to return.
