Booked somewhat at the last minute after struggling to find accommodation elsewhere due to the Arundel Festival. Weren't sure about the location being so close to the A27, but our room was on the far side of the house overlooking the large garden sheltered from the road noise which was not noticeable even with the windows open.
The twin room was clean and comfortable, but being upstairs the entrance through a small door with very limited headroom. Our room was not en-suite (but we knew this) and we believe only one of the four was. There are two bathrooms, one with a bath, the other a shower (which broke on the first morning). No wardrobe provided, only a chest of drawers.
The first night was disturbed by loud talking guests in the room below. More a fault of the guests, but indicative of the poor sound insulation between the ground and 1st floor.
With a capacity of 8/9 people (one room is a family room), but a breakfast room accommodating only 6, we were surprised at being given a limited timeframe to eat our breakfast and felt rushed one or two mornings to make room for the next guests. The breakfast was OK with a modest bowl of fruit, cereals, toast and an English Breakfast. The "continental" breakfast was just no English rather than croissant, cheese etc.
Free wireless internet access was provided with good access from our room and the two resident dogs were very well behaved and friendly.
No massive dislikes, just a general perception that maximising the number of guests was at the expense of attention to some of the details that make a stay memorable.

As we have always taken our guests opinions very seriously and invite out guests to let us know of any problems, felt very dissappointed to read this guests review. Unfortunately unable to identify guest as no name or precise date of stay given, but we would certainly like to apologise for any lack of attention to detail.
We would like to assure visitors that we have 2 dining rooms and can comfortably seat up to 12 guests at any one time. Certainly we wish guests to enjoy as relaxing a time as possible.
