  What an amazing site!

  The owner was lovely, sending us a message on the evening of arrival to ensure we were happy with everything, welcome us into the ‘pod’ and letting us know to contact her at any point if there’s any issues. On arrival in the pod, we were greeted by some lovely homemade produce, including; Jam, Vodka and Gin. We were also left a bottle of Prosecco, a bottle of milk, a large bottle of washing up liquid with a sponge and cloth, shampoo, shower Gel, conditioner, body and hand lotion, 2 bars of soap, vanity kit, shower cap, a selection of biscuits, ice pre prepared in the freezer for us, a large range or different teas and coffees (great for me who loves a hot drink!!!), a selection of different hot chocolates, salt and pepper sachets as well as sugar and sweeteners… I think that was everything! The Pod was spotlessly clean which is quite something for us and we were left 4 soft towels as well. The hot tub was lovely and private from the other pods and the garden had been well maintained with plants and a recent lawn cutting as well. There’s a TV, microwave, Kettle, duel hob ring (electric or induction- not sure) toaster, and integrated under counter fridge and decent WiFi. There was plenty of crockery and glasses as well as plastic glasses for the hot tub. - We did unfortunately break one of the plastic glasses on our last day and felt extremely bad, we let the owner know via text and she was extremely understanding and told us not to worry about it. The bed was very comfortable as was the sofa and although a small property, the layout had clearly been thought about so that you weren’t constantly on-top of each other! The area is stunning with only a 10-15 min drive into the main part of Arundel with some lovely coffee shops and restaurants. On a side note: We would highly recommend The Swan Hotel for dinner with a carpark located behind (free from 6pm) the food was impeccable (Being a chef myself), the staff were lovely and they hold a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5/5. We would very highly recommend Filbert Pod to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway near a lovely town near to Arundel, Bognor Regis and Chichester as well. Thank you to Pauline for such a lovely stay! Best Wishes, Will & James

  We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay at the Old Dairy.

  Endless possibilities for walking our dog(mostly off the lead, even on the beach nearby!). The garden was nicely fenced for an escape-prone dog as we have... The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The view from the cottage over the fields never became boring. Nevertheless a few critical remarks: the outside of the cottage could do with some TLC (paint...), the gate needs some repair, WIFI was mostly very poor and during our second week the TV signal was strange enough rather poor, especially at nights! Since we had al lot of warm to hot weather with a lot of sunshine we could have done with an umbrella in the garden and perhaps a few sunbeds for the lazy moments! We'd love to come back to the Old Dairy!

  This is a great property with lovely views but let down by a few things.

  As someone previously said, the front door locks gets jammed. There is rust at the bottom of the shower pole and mould on the edge of the shower where the screen hasn't been finished off properly. This is supposed to be a grade 4 property but don't expect fluffy towels and comfortable pillows. We've stayed at many cottages in the past and this is the first time that there hasn't been a pint of milk in the fridge! By far the worst thing was the horrendous smell of paraffin coming from the back of the cottage. We couldn't have any of the windows open at the back of the property because of the smell, which wasn't ideal when we were in the middle of a heatwave.

  We had a wonderful week at The Old Dairy.

  We wanted to go walking every day and were spoiled for choice with the nearby woodland containing numerous footpaths and bridleways, National Trust parkland close at hand and the coastal area between Littlehampton and Ferring only a few miles away by car. In all cases the scenery was wonderful and we were lucky enough to be treated to some stunning autumn sunsets. Our only suggestion regarding the accommodation is that we would have expected to find liquid soap in the bathrooms and cooking items such as salt and pepper in the kitchen cupboards. We didn't think to take those. Given the chance, though, we would certainly return for another holiday.

  The Old Dairy was a lovely little cottage but seemed to need a bit of TLC.

  The furnishings were of a high standard and very comfortable but the overall cleanliness let it down. There were large cobwebs in quite a few areas, the microwave had bean spots and the oven was dirty. There were only four spoons and forks so using the dishwasher would have been a waste of time. 6 lightbulbs had blown and not been replaced. The shower head holder needs to be fixed to stop the shower head drooping. The owner came to replace the broken rubbish bin and I mentioned a few of the problems. The fuse box door was taped up with black tape, he said it would cost £300 to replace so had left it. Not a good impression.
