Welcome to The Old School B&B Chichester, near Goodwood. We offer exclusive accommodation on the outskirts of Chichester, at the gateway to the breathtaking South Downs National Park. We have three beautifully appointed double rooms, all with en-suite facilities, situated on the ground floor. The Old School experience includes a warm welcome, a splendid environment, and a good night’s sleep, topped off with a hearty breakfast. We want you to enjoy a memorable stay, and visit us again. The Old School is perfectly situated for easy access to the historic cathedral city of Chichester, the wonderful West Sussex countryside, and the many interesting places to visit in the surrounding area. We are the closest B&B to the Goodwood Motor Circuit, and the Goodwood Estate is nearby with its flagship events such as the Festival of Speed and the Revival. Chichester Festival Theatre is just a short distance away if you want to take in a show.
My partner and I love meeting new people and sharing The Old School with our guests. The building is a cherished local landmark and recent guests include descendants of the longest serving School Mistress from the late 19th century, who's final resting place is in the nearby beautiful medieval church. We have a wealth of knowledge on the local area, with its many great things to do and wonderful places to eat, and we are always happy to signpost our guests if you need suggestions on where to go. As well as being passionate about ensuring you enjoy all aspects of your stay, I love gardening and we encourage our guests to enjoy our enchanting garden which has a choice of private places to sit and relax.
