The Experience
Tucked back from the road in its own courtyard, this unusual little house is right in the old heart of Chichester. Enter an open-plan sitting/dining room with a cute kitchen at the back, a warm cosy space of open beams and wooden floors… a dark olive wall here, a blue sofa there, local art, velvet cushions, a wood-burner. Generous Rachel leaves you logs, muffins, Montezuma chocolates, soft towels, flowers, soaps from Molton Brown – every little luxury. She also offers fresh meals and hampers, and her ‘Eat, Drink and Explore’ guide to the area she loves. Bed and bath lie at the top of the carpeted stair and all is airy, peaceful and light, with low beams, latch doors and a classic-but-modern feel. Come morning, head south for the sand dunes of West Wittering, or north for the paths of the South Downs National Park. Or stay put and explore one of the most civilised cities in England; cathedral, theatre, galleries and shops are a stroll away. There’s even private parking in your courtyard garden, but with the station so close, you could roll in by train.

A beautiful little house, well appointed and located. Rachel left us lots of little goodies and basic groceries and told us we were able to check in early as the house was ready for us - really helpful as we didn't need to kill time before unpacking! All in all we had a lovely stay and hope to return.

We stayed at the Clock House Chichester and it really lived up to its title as ‘the perfect bolt hole for 2’. The house was charming, and attention to detail impressive. Facilities were 5* from white company bedding to molton brown bathroom products. Our host, Rachel, was attentive without being intrusive. Marks and Spencer Food hall was a 5 minute walk , which was a huge bonus, as was the secure parking. We could not fault anything and would thoroughly recommend holidaying here. We are looking forward to a return visit. Thank you Rachel for a wonderful stay.

Our second visit to the Clock House because we loved it so much the first time. It has everything you need, a welcoming host, fridge and bread bin stocked with essentials, comfy bed, great location being so close to the centre of Chichester with lots of fab restaurants and pubs, as well as being a great base to visit other local attractions. If we could have scored higher we would have done.

Another fabulous stay at this gorgeous bolt hole. This was my second visit and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. The Clock House is cute, quaint and has been really well kitted out with everything a visitor could want including spare phone charger! Weather meant I could make use of the patio table and chairs outside. Super convenient for central Chichester, safe and with its own parking, it is a gem of a place. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks so much Rachel for making me feel so welcome.

This little house is absolutely perfect. Really well situated in central Chichester and with the luxury of its own parking spot. Everything was utterly pristine - linens, towels, kitchen, bathroom - and welcoming - fresh flowers, bread and pastries, super hot water and a basket full of logs for the fire. The owner really has thought of everything. The welcome book tells you all you need to know and is extremely clear and well thought through. I will definitely stay here again.

The Clockhouse in Chichester is a wonderful and comfortable home from home stay. Clean, beautifully decorated and convenient and quiet. Rachel is so accommodating lovely fresh pastries and milk are always left for her guests to enjoy. Cannot recommend highly enough and I have stayed on numerous occasions. The ideal place to stay if visiting Chichester or the surrounding area.

Beautiful interior design throughout. Really comfy king size bed and soft pillows. We cooked there a couple of times and found everything we needed in the kitchen. The location is absolutely perfect being in the centre of the city but in a quiet side road. Being able to park the car on the forecourt of the property is a real bonus, and there’s still room in the garden to sit at the table and chairs amongst the flowers for a G&T after a busy day exploring! A truly unique property!

Clock House Top Notch - 5 Stars!!! We stayed here for the long weekend of the Goodwood Revival 2022. This accommodation is immaculate - very comfortable, secure, beautiful and tastefully decorated. So many thoughtful personal touches were included to give us a real welcome. Communication with the host was exceptional and access to the property very straightforward - particularly appreciated as we arrived late at night. Perfectly situated for local restaurants and shopping and very convenient for Chichester Railway Station. We felt like we had our own personal little fortres

The Clock House is absolutely sensational. Nestled in a quiet and beautiful area of old Chichester behind elegant wrought iron gates a haven of exquisite elegance awaits. Every possible convenience has been thought of; from gorgeous deep fluffy towels to spare phone chargers, flowers in every room, to fresh bread and pastries on arrival. A small cobbled area provides valuable off street parking, allowing you to wander straight into the heart of Chichester to pick up a morning paper and return to your delightful flower filled courtyard for breakfast in the morning sun. In a word? Heaven!

We have just returned from Chichester where we spent a wonderful week at The Clock House. It was just perfect. We met Rachel, the owner and she couldn’t have been more helpful. In a fabulous location, quiet and yet so close to the shops, cathedral, restaurants and park. The accommodation was luxurious and there were lots of lovely touches, such as fresh flowers and molten brown toiletries. We would have no hesitation in returning or recommending to our friends and family.

By far the best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Small but perfectly formed ! We had everything and more that we could ever want. The fresh flowers were beautiful and the treats left by Rachel were very much appreciated. With the added bonus of parking and the short walk to the cathedral and restaurants I would have no hesitation in recommending The clock house. Thankyou Rachel

Second visit to the Clock house no words can describe our stay. Best accommodation you could wish for luxury experience in the heart of Chichester. Spotlessly clean and a very homey feel everything you could wish for is there. My husband and I will be returning next year and for the foreseeable. we travel quite a lot and have experienced luxury but this is second to none. I would like to thank Rachel once again for making our stay so special love the flowers and complimentary pastries you think of everything ! Location fantastic with secure packing and luxurious interiors

Exceptional! A really wonderful stay in such a well-located house which is so comfortable, beautifully furnished and so well-appointed. Rachel has anticipated everything her guests need (as well as what they may have forgotten!) and we appreciated all the welcoming touches, including items in the fridge, breakfast goodies, loads of fresh flowers, the list goes on .... It was really over and above any self-catering we've stayed in and can't be faulted. We look forward to returning.

We honestly could not have asked for more. A spotlessly clean property with lots of extra touches that made us feel welcomed and relaxed as soon as we got through the door. Right in the middle of Chichester with off-street parking and all the local shops and restaurants just a minute or two walk away. The owner provided all the information we needed for our stay and we had a great time. If we can, we'll book here again without hesitation.

Rachel King
The owners live elsewhere and their daughter-in-law Rachel manages this house and two others. She is just 15 minutes away if you need any help but leaves you two beautifully-prepared booklets - one about the house and another about the area.
Both the Clockhouse & the Courtyard are beautiful places to stay in charming Chichester. Rachel has excellent taste & her attention to detail creates stylish & comfortable accommodation. Thank you for looking after us so well.
