Everything was first class, the room, cleanliness, food, friendliness - the lot We couldn't fault it in any way. Carmel & Clive were just great. Clive even directed us down the road to a good venue for an evening meal. We spent 2 nights at the Cumberland on our way to pick up our cruise ship in Sothampton & 1... More

Once again stayed at this guest house, I think we enjoy the abuse. Sadly Carmel was away during our visit but her place was filled by a charming lady who normally works with the police, I presume she was there to keep Clive in check. The pub down the road always comes up with an excellent meal. We will return!!

From the minute we arrived with a welcome cup of tea, perfect nights sleep to the best ever breakfast cooked by Carmel, and the prompt drop off and pick up from the airport by Clive. Great hosts so friendly, helpful and with a wicked sense of humour which made our stay. We will definitely be back if flying from Gatwick... More

Finding this B&B, primarily chosen because of its excellent location for departing from Gatwick Airport and the free airport transfers, was easy, as was dropping off our hire car at Gatwick then getting picked up by our hosts and returned to the guest house. The room we had, which our host, Carmel, labeled the "Deluxe Room" because of its virtually... More
