Broyle House, Chichester - a family house that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
Broyle House is a bright and well-presented family house close to the heart of the historic city of Chichester, West Sussex. With views over one of the city's well maintained parks, it is great for anyone looking for a comfortable holiday home within walking distance of many of the great shops and amenities in Chichester and a base from which to explore the area.
On Entering Broyle Road you are met with a spacious stylish living area equipped with a large TV with Netflix, perfect for getting cosy under the blanket and watching all your favourite TV programmes in front of the log burner. Along from the living room is a large kitchen with everything you could possibly need to self-cater during your stay including a kettle, dishwasher, cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, toaster, washing machine and tumble dryer. There is also a downstairs WC.
On the first floor are 2 double bedrooms, one bedroom has a small double and a large wardrobe, the second bedroom has a super king bed and a TV with Netflix and an en-suite including a free standing bath and a shower room (this is the main bathroom for both bedrooms).
This property has WIFI and 2 parking spaces. Broyle Road is located just to the North of Chichester city centre and is within a short walk all the shops, restaurants, bars and amenities the city centre has to offer. The history of Chichester dates back to beyond Roman times, but it is perhaps now most famous for its imposing cathedral, which itself is over 1,000 years old. The renowned Chichester Festival Theatre is also just a short walk away, which offers a great selection of shows throughout the year.
Other local attraction include the Goodwood Estate, known around the world for both its horse racing and the Glorious Goodwood week, as well as its motor racing events that include the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival. One of the best beaches on the south coast is located at West Wittering, to the south of Chichester. With the excellent road and rail links, it is also easy to visit the cities of Portsmouth, famous as being home to the Royal Navy, and Brighton, which has a wonderful array of shops and bars. London is also less than 2 hours away, with direct trains from Chichester to London Victoria.
Rooms and general house were clean but under beds and furniture needs to be addressed. That being said the house was lovely and in a great location and I would definitely stay again. Kitchen was great and milk tea coffee plus delicious biscuits left for arriving. Beds very comfortable and a holiday house that felt like home. I would easily recommend for a home from home break in Chichester.
The house is in a fab location and check in was straight forward and easy. Parking was easy and convenient. But itâs a little run down. The shower was dirty, the floorboards were creaky (not great when trying to get small children to sleep). The kitchen was renovated but a while ago and itâs a little dirty and grimy and everything creaks. It was also impossibly hot in the sunshine in the kitchen - like a greenhouse. The garden was also not very child friendly and had discarded items (a car roof rack) on the side of the lawn. Overall, the location was great but Iâm not sure weâd go back.
Location of the property is great there is a just a need for attention to detail.Lights not working, dishwasher issue and some TLC required overall. This was reported but they were unable to get sorted quicklyIt did not spoil our break but maybe a property inspection would highlight some of the work required.
It took a little while to get comfortable. But after some adjustments we settled in and could enjoy our stay. It was easy to get on foot to the city centre. The house has all necessary equipments.
This house has a great location - a 5-minute walk to the Festival Theatre, about 10 minutes to the city centre, and 20 minutes to the train station by foot. The house is clean, has been decorated beautifully, and is equipped with a modern, bright kitchen. It is a comfortable, convenient, and attractive place to stay while visiting Chichester.
There are, however, issues that need more attention from the management company.
1. Preparing house for guest arrival: The first day of my stay was terribly uncomfortable. The house interior was 10 degrees Celsius when I arrived. (The thermostat was set to just 5 degrees.) It took until bedtime to heat the house to a temperature warm enough to remove my coat.
2. Safety: The smoke detector battery in the main room/stairway was not working (beeping a low battery warning) when I arrived. Thankfully, Amazon.com was able to deliver an appropriate battery the next day so, I had only one night without smoke detection.
3. Maintenance: Many light bulbs in the house were burned out. In the kitchen, 4 of the 8 recessed lights in the ceiling did not work. These were all over the sink and work area, making cooking and washing up in the evening a bit challenging.
There was usually no hot water in the kitchen sink in the evening, so I boiled the kettle to do the washing up.
4. Cleaning: Almost all of the glass mugs, cutlery, and a few bowls had coffee stains in them when I arrived. I was able to remove them with a little elbow grease, but having dishes left in the cupboards and drawers in a stained condition is disappointing for a property of this quality.
There is one issue for which I don't believe there is a solution and which would prevent me from staying in this property again on holiday. The house is located on a busy road with heavy traffic. While the owners have taken successful measures to reduce traffic noise inside the house, one can still feel the traffic. I was awaken every morning by the physical rumble of lorries passing by. The tremors began as early as 5:30 and happened with such frequency, sleep was nearly impossible once morning traffic began. (Sunday was the exception, with less traffic.) I did not get used to this even after being in the house for two weeks, so it was not a very restful holiday.
