The Downs Stables

Líbí se: We were lucky and had the place to ourselves as there were no other guests while we were there. The stables are just a short walk from the centre of the lovely village which has a couple of excellent pubs. The facilities, especially the well-equipped kitchen, exceeded expectations (though perhaps this was partly because we did not need to share them). The check-in/out experience was very smooth. The host kindly allowed us to leave our bags on site after the check-out time on our final day to collect later in the day. The location was a good base to explore this part of the South Downs. We spent one day walking from the stables out and around Cissbury Ring and Chanctonbury Ring. On our second day, we took a short bus ride to Storrington from where we walked up Kithurst Hill, along the South Downs Way to Amberley and around via Parham Park. I highly recommend both walks. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and felt the accommodation was very good value.

Nelíbí se: We were not able to use the barbecue as we couldn't find anywhere to buy charcoal etc., however the kitchen ended up being a better option for us anyway. Some other locations may have more walking options immediately accessible on foot without needing to travel via car or bus, however this was not a problem for us. Had we been sharing with other guests, I imagine we would have had to wait for the bathroom and kitchen facilities at times.

Líbí se: Accommodation was perfect for my needs. Clean, tidy, comfortable and compact. Bathroom and kitchen facilities close by were more than adequate. Staying amongst the thoroughbred stables was pleasant and relaxing.

Líbí se: Great location being actually within a racing stables at the foot of the South Downs. Particularly fortunate that we stayed over a three-day period which included the stables open morning. Very good, roomy and well-equipped kitchen.

Nelíbí se: Slightly inconvenient having to walk across the path to the toilets, but that was foreseen so no complaints.

Líbí se: The accommodation and people were helpful and very kind with all that was provided. The kitchen had tea,coffee,cereals,bread,jam, milk all provided and there was small fridge in the pod which made it easy to have cold drinks in the room. Lovely setting and will be going back again for long weekend to spend more time walking the local area. Findon village is very nice with pubs and Indian takeaway, local post office and community shop everyone was very welcoming. We enjoyed seeing the horses at stables and seeing some of their routines for warming up before going on to the gallops. We stayed there for the 4 days, having bathroom and toilet that we shared only with one more pod meant there was no waiting for use of facilities. We usually camp for Goodwood festival of speed but tried something different and the journey in each day wasn't difficult so having the comfort of proper bed and bathroom, kitchen was worth the journey. Would highly recommend

Nelíbí se: There was nothing to dislike
