Overlooking the sea, units in this guest house are accessible via private entrance and comprised of a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer. Some units feature a terrace and/or a balcony with an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, units come with bed linen and towels. Beautiful, serene country view across the Bristol Channel all the way to Cardiff. Ben was very gracious and let me check in early. The breakfast items in the room were perfect for an early start. Ben got me to the airport safely. I would love to stay longer and would highly recommend.

Featuring a shared lounge, restaurant, bar and free WiFi, Broom Hall Inn is located in Stratford-upon-Avon, 9 km from Coughton Court and 13 km from Royal Shakespeare Company. The property is set 23 km from Walton Hall, 30 km from Warwick Castle and 34 km from Lickey Hills Country Park. The property provides services including meeting and banquet facilities and evening entertainment. WE were greeted by really friendly staff at the bar, who quickly found details of our reservation and took us to our rooms. We ate in the restaurant, which offered nicely presented food at a decent price. Our steaks were cooked very well and served alongside proper chips. The team here works well together and the staff were all really helpful, pointing out historical details about the region. Our rooms were very comfortable with good facilities (tea and coffee) and were surprisingly quiet (this being a Saturday night). Our breakfasts were very good (eggs Benedict) and served quickly. Plentiful car parking.

Featuring 4-star accommodation, 4 Canon Lane is situated in Chichester, 500 metres from Chichester Train Station and 300 metres from Chichester Cathedral. This guest house features free private parking, a housekeeping service and free WiFi. Goodwood Racecourse is 10 km away and Bognor Regis Train Station is 12 km from the guest house. Amazing! What a great location; so glad we found it. This is a house in an otherwise closed section of the beautiful Chichester cathedral district, with full view of the cathedral through the window. Check-in was through individual and time-restricted codes for front door and room, and worked well (though we were a bit apprehensive, as there seemed to be nobody available on-site). The house is stunning; a guest house otherwise used for conferences with a generous two-story entrance hall and beautiful wood finishes (loved the heavy wood front door). The rooms are clean, well-appointed and the amenities excellent - the renovation kept the original simple decor. Outside there is almost no car traffic, and you arrive by driving through a medieval gate and park at an assigned space right outside the front door. At night you don't realize that you are in a town; its so quiet. Everything is in walking distance, and during the day you can enter the cathedral cloisters through a side portal. The beautiful Bishop's Garden is just around the corner, as are the Roman walls. No breakfast provided, but there is a coffeemaker in the room and several restaurants just around the corner (through the gate, as it were), including several breakfast place (we had a great breakfast at Trading Post Coffee Roasters).
