  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

  The pod was very clean, well designed and well equipped.

  There were lots of thoughtful extras provided, including homemade gin, Prosecco, coffee bags, biscuits, milk jam etc. Thank you for these, they were much appreciated. The key safe system was very convenient and worked well on arrival and departure. The bed could do with a fitted sheet, as the plasticised mattress protector made it slippy, meaning that the sheet came loose easily. The restricted access either side of the bed then made it difficult to remake the bed regularly. We weren’t 100% certain, but there may have been a leak in the bathroom, as water kept pooling on the floor around the base of the toilet. We tried to eliminate various sources such as drying towels and swimming costumes, but it still kept happening. It was extremely wet weather during our stay, which may not have helped. The hot tub was very private and not overlooked, which was lovely. Unfortunately owing to the wet and windy weather, we only used it once. We also couldn’t locate the controls to make the jets work, but we should have read the instructions before climbing in! However, maybe a sign on the back wall of the pod itself indicating what to press might help future clueless users like ourselves! The Sykes Cottages listing should make it clearer that there are three pods near to each other on the same site. The other two pods were luckily vacant when we stayed, but we would have felt encroached upon if they had been let whilst we were staying. We also had imagined a rather more remote and picturesque setting on the farm, instead of being next door to a riding corral and manure pile within a fairly compact site and a town setting, which made for some unpleasant smells. However, these were minor concerns during our stay given that the other pods were vacant. But for future reference would be an important consideration.

  Enjoyed a lovely few days to celebrate my husband’s birthday.

  Filbert pod was really lovely with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. There were lots of thoughtful little extras too including a cold bottle of fizz waiting for us. The hot tub was incredible and totally private. We enjoyed walks on the beach and visited local pubs. The spit and sawdust pub in Burnham looks a bit shabby and we weren’t going to bother but glad we did. It was particularly welcoming and we had a lovely hour of playing board games there and chatting with the friendly locals (we didn’t eat there so not sure about the food). We met the lovely Pauline who was very friendly and gave us lots of tips on where to go. Would highly recommend. If I could change one thing, it would be for a more secure fence to make it easier to keep our dog in. She could easily get under the fence and we didn’t want her to bother the horses (although it does state clearly that the fence isn’t completely dog secure it would make for a more relaxing stay). Despite this, we highly recommend and would love to come back one day.

  Just Perfect!

  The Pod was fabulous! More than we could have imagined, & memories made to make us smile for a long time to come. Prosecco, homemade Gin & chocolates to welcome you, warmth & kindness from Pauline & Paul. Clean, cosy, peaceful; equipped with everything you could want & need. We wouldn't hesitate to book again! The hot tub was the icing on the cake, relaxing by day, romantic by night. Note to all guests.. respect is key for all to enjoy this!! For future guests, the rules are there for a purpose. Showering before use isn't negotiable! Treat with respect please. Thank you to Pauline & Paul for welcoming us & sharing their home & accommodation with us. Wishing you peace, love & happiness for the future Heather, Mark, Thor

  A lovely place to stay.

  The hosts were very attentive keeping the hot tub well maintained during my stay and Pauline sent me a welcome message upon my arrival and also checked later in the week if I needed fresh towels or anything else . Lovely bottle of bubbly and milk in the fridge when I arrived and some homemade goodies. The lights around the hot tub made for a perfect way to end the day. I don't drive and had no issues getting about as although the pods are in a rural setting there is a bus stop only five minutes away where you can get to Littlehampton in only 11 minutes and frequent services to Chichester and Bognor. I would definitely recommend as a place to relax and unwind and the property is maintained to a high standard.
