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

Camping pod
Liked: 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
Disliked: There was nothing to dislike
