Absolutely beautiful period house brimming with authentic architectural features and furnished accordingly. We loved it. Stunning house in stunning grounds. Our bedroom was large and comfortable. It was very peaceful. Breakfast was delicious and cooked fresh to order. We went for a special occasion with family and enjoyed a private dinner party in the dining room, preceded by drinks and canapés in the drawing room, accompanied by live pianist. Can thoroughly recommend it for any event or simply as a base for a holiday. Friendly and informative hosts who cannot do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay. Thank you Roz and Ian.

We had an afternoon tea at Hollybank House to celebrate our mum's 90th birthday. We stayed 3 nights in the Ivory room which had lovely views across to Chichester Harbour. The room was very comfortable with a nice shower. The breakfasts were delicious, probably some of the best we have had when away. The party catering was excellent and nothing was too much trouble at any time for our hosts. We would thoroughly recommend staying here.
