About this property
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.

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.

Nice House but needs redecorating
The house is well located about 5 minutes walk from town and ideally situated if you are visiting the Festival Theatre. It's well appointed but desperately needs some re decoration and a deep clean as there were cobwebs in most areas at high level and marks on a lot of the walls and the kitchen cabinet doors are showing signs of age but overall the house is nice and comfortable. The boiler needs attention - it performed well providing hot water but kept going on and off at all hours. Parking for two cars but very tight - the trimming of the hedge would improve this.
We had a couple of cleanliness issues when we arrived but they were speedily dealt with by the agent. Although it's on one of the main roads into town, it's fairly quiet.

Our midweek say at Broyle House, Chichester
We had a lovely pre-Christmas festive break away from our busy time at home in this cosy house.
Everything was clean and tidy, the beds were very comfy and the welcome gifts were much appreciated. Just a ten minute walk from the City centre, we could spend a day visiting the sights and pottering around the shops without worrying about parking. Further afield, the coast is a 20 minute drive away, as is beautiful Arundel with its castle and magnificent cathedral on the hill, and of course the impressive Roman palace at Fishbourne. We felt we’d just scratched the surface of places to visit so we’ll definitely be back!

Great spot for short break for 2 mums
The house is wonderful. Modern and nicely decorated. Comfy beds, comfy sofas and a wood burner. Just 10 min walk from the city centre.
Henry Adams agency was very helpful and efficient. Thank you to the team for organising our holiday.
We'll definitely stay again next time we're in the area.
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.

Great stay!!
Broyle House provided an excellent base for our 10 day stay in Chichester. Parking was great for our one large car and access to the property was easy. The house was in a good location for us, very easy walk into Chichester and nice to have the park across the road. There was some traffic noise in the front bedroom with the windows open but was absolutely quiet with them shut. Both beds were comfy and there was plenty of storage in both rooms. The house does show slight signs of wear and tear as previous reviews have commented on but nothing that caused an issue for us. The upstairs bathroom is very spacious and the water pressure was good. The lounge was comfy and the kitchen a very nice bright space. There is a large fridge and freezer in the property which was very useful and everything was very easy to use. We would definitely return to Broyle House in the future.

Great location, needs love
The house is in a fab location and check in was straight forward and easy. Parking was easy and convenient. But it’s 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 it’s 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 I’m not sure we’d go back.

Terrific house and great location. Fantastic base for a family wedding at Goodwood.
Really nice house with great facilities. Perfect family base for our family wedding at Goodwood and great value for money. Easy to walk into Chichester and access all it has to offer.
Unlikely to be back in the area but would not hesitate to book again.
Helpful feedback ( hopefully) The kitchen is the heart of this house and opening onto a good garden space is a bonus. It’s a great space but the garden and patio would benefit from a bit more love and attention.
Master bedroom and en-suite is stunning. Second bedroom not so much and feels like a spare room. Again just spread the love that appears elsewhere in the house to this room.
And the front hallway really needs sorting out. To be blunt, it smells. This may be an ongoing damp problem or just a one off but it’s a small space, a small problem and would make a huge difference if it was sorted out.
Again I’m hoping this is helpful because we loved our stay and it was a a fantastic family weekend. Broyle House played its part Thank you.

A problem
We arrived friday afternoon and left monday morning. A courtesy call would have been much appreciated particularly as the office is the only contact and is office hours only Monday to Friday. There was a light bulb that needed replacing in the front lounge, we nearly broke a load of crockery because the top shelf of the dishwasher had no stoppers and there was a broken glass in the cupboard (which we wanted to report so you knew it was not us that broke it. Not considered emergency problems so felt we could not phone the other number.

Very well presented, and well equipped property. Good support info from Henry Adams, eg how to find the property. Quiet location, city centre less than 10 minutes walk away. Well positioned for South Downs, Chichester Harbour, and coast.

We were very disappointed with the cleanliness and overall condition of the property.
There were clumps of dust and hair on the carpet, bits under the kitchen table, dust and grime on the blinds and lampshades and mould in the bathroom.
The house was tatty with wallpaper peeling, the shower head was hanging off the wall and kitchen worktops were mouldy. On arrival to the property we were faced with a dead christmas tree on the drive, before having to walk through an overgrown garden to the door, where the grass had not been cut since last year. We have 2 small children and part of us choosing to stay at Broyle House was because there was a garden. However it wasnt easy to use the space as it was so overgrown.
I contacted the office the following morning and they sent out a cleaner. However the cleaner only seemed to sweep the kitchen floor as all the other issues remained. The cleaning manager came out to assess the property. She returned the next day to complete the cleaning. This was 3 days into our holiday of 5 days. I was shocked to find such a dirty property which was supposed to have had deep cleaning between guests during a time of covid regulations. I have since had an email from Henry Adam's to say that they are addressing some of these issues (too late for us) but having read previous reviews now, these are not new and were reported last year and nothing had been done. We were offered a small refund of our booking fee (£45) as compensation but 2 weeks on and we still don't have it.

Walking distance to town centre. Chichester has everything you need and more.
The house is well equipped if it was mine I’d want to do some minor repairs but the peeling wallpaper/paint doesn’t spoil your enjoyment and it’s not everywhere (I’m fussy). Smart TVs in lounge and bedroom. Plenty of comfy seating. 2nd bed a bit small and they need to use the downstairs shower room. It was my second stay so none of the above bothered me. It’s a cut above some places I’ve stayed and it’s location is fab and parking for 2 cars a really good selling point.

Great stay in Chichester
We called Henry Adams with regard to the cleanliness and they immediately offered to send their new cleaning team. So all good. However we had 3 kitchen power cuts during our stay. The first was a problem as there is no welcome pack to explain anything. We eventually found the kitchen consumer unit in a top cupboard behind some pots and pans. Obviously we had phoned the emergency line but got no response so left another voicemail cancelling the first once we sorted it. The owner does need to do some maintenance to the house especially the downstairs clock room. However for all the niggles we enjoyed our month in Chichester.
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.
