Lovely stay
A lovely house well furnished, with lots of space. Location is very convenient for Goodwood events and has good restaurants in the area. The proximity to the boat yard was not an issue in terms of noise and the surrounding countryside is lovely.

Dissappointed
Wrong key for front door left in key safe. Sorted quickly. Both single beds really uncomfortable mattresses lacking any support. Grandsons his b this room were tired and aching every day. We had to clean saucepan before using them. We had to keep doors and windows closed because of dirt and noise coming from building site opposite. We could not use the garden at all because Gray clouds of gritty, sandy dirt was blowing from site. On one day we couldn't drive away from house because of delivery of four containers were being delivered to building site blocking road in both directions with traffic queued in both directions. We were having to keep cleaning because in evening if we opened doors a nd/Windows the place filled with dust. I washed the garden table on Saturday night , it was filthy by Su day morning. Even though no work was going on the truth dust kept blowing around. The owners of this property knew about this building work and should have advised us so we could make a choice. As we're all asthmatic the last thing we needed was the mess we got. We chose Tabernacle Cottage because it ha no grass or flowers in garden which i would have been able to sit out in on the days i wasn't well enough to go out.. This was my last holiday with my grandsons. I have terminal cancer and it has been very disappointing that we could not enjoy this lovely house and garden. We think we're entitled to a refund as our holiday was ruined by the noise, dirt and restrictions caused by the building site. The cottage itself is lovely, lots of nice prints, quality kitchen appliances etc. And light and airy with a lovely open flow. It's a great pity that we couldn't enjoy it.

A lovely, comfortable stay
We had a very enjoyable stay at Tabernacle Cottage. The cottage had all the mod-cons expected, the beds and pillows were particularly comfortable. The location was quiet but surrounded by the lovely marina and wonderful walks in the countryside. If I had a few comments I would suggest that a little welcome pack would be much appreciated by the weary travellers (milk, a few biscuits) and perhaps some ideas on what to do in the area would be very helpful. We would come back again.
