HIDDEN TREASURE IN ARUNDEL
Review Submitted: October 24, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
As soon as I saw Val's Studio apartment in Arundel I fell in love with it.
Being set back from the High Street to the side of Val's delightful garden it is a very peaceful and unique place to stay.
Val was there to greet me and what a charming lady she is. She showed me around and gave me all the local info. For the rest of the time I could always contact her if I needed anything.
The Studio is absolutely charming, tastfully furnished and decorated, 'I loved the chandeliers', well-equipped and super clean.
Off the bedroom you have your own private enclosed patio with table and chairs, just the place to sit and relax with a glass of wine in the evening.
I am an ex-pat and get very homesick at times. I felt very much at home in the Studio and enjoyed walking across the road in the mornings for my paper and coffee in one of the cafes. On the way back I would look into the butcher's window to choose something for dinner not forgetting to pick up groceries and wine on the way.
If you don't fancy cooking there are lots of pubs,wine-bars and restaurants in Arundel and its great because you don't need a car.
There is so much to love about Arundel , The stunning Castle and Cathedral. Tarrant street with all it's shops and restaurants and strolling by the river Avon.
Yes, you're in for a great trip if you decide to visit Arundel and Val's 'Hidden Treasure' is the place to stay.

Excellent centre of town studio

This studio met all our expectations, it was cosy, clean, had a comfortable bed, a well-equipped kitchen and lovely linen. We enjoyed having breakfast in the garden which was quiet and private yet only steps from the High Street of Arundel. Great to walk to the Black Rabbit for lunch (around 2kms away) and having the castle as a neighbour was a real treat. Val, the owner was helpful and friendly. There was so much to see around the area we didn't get to see it all in one week. A very relaxing holiday and good base to see all that West Sussex has to offer. Would recommend highly.

Great holiday home
Review Submitted: August 4, 2009

An ideal holiday base which is comfortable and convenient. Although in the centre of Arundel the loudest noise we heard was from a passing mallard! Step out of the door onto the High Street all the amenities that could be asked for are within a five minute walk. The apartment is comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is also very secluded. Val, the owner was friendly and helpful but never obtrusive. For the first four days of our stay we didn't move our car. We walked along the river (having lunch at the Black Rabbit), walked through Arundel Castle Park and walked up to the top of the Downs through amazing bluebell woods. We also used the train to travel to Chichester.
We plan to return in 2010 as there is still so much we didn't have time to do in a week.

Home Away From Home
Review Submitted: July 3, 2009

Arundel is a perfect center for exploring Sussex and the South Downs and The Studio is a perfect base--right in town, well-appointed, spotless, comfortable, quiet, and near the shops. Stock up on food at the Co-Op or Pallant's or organic grocery stores and enjoy a meal at home on the patio. In summer there's even a farmer's market. Or, experience anything from pizza to Indian food in the town. For a super pub experience walk or drive (about a mile) to the Black Rabbit right on the river. After a day of wandering around the region or just walking along the River Arun and the town, returning to The Studio certainly beats returning to a hotel room. The landlady, Val, is a treat and a fount of information about the area. I'm looking forward to a return visit.

We totally agree with the former reviews and would definately recommend this apartment to all of our friends. Thanks to Val and her lovely tastefully furnished studio (and the great weather!) our UK stay has been perfect. We were sorry to leave and can't wait to come back.

Excellent apartment and location
Review Submitted: August 21, 2008
Date of Stay: August 2008
This apartment is perfectly furnished with everything that we wanted. It is central, but at the same time, set back from the High Street and therefore very, very quiet. The owner is super friendly and helpful and is only interested in her guests having a perfect stay. I have lived in Sussex for most of my life, so having this apartment as a base for 1 week's exploring was ideal. Arundel itself is lovely, but there is much, much more of this beautiful county to see, and this apartment is great for that. Do not hesitate to book this, because you will need act quickly.

Charming Village, Lovely Apartment
Review Submitted: August 16, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
Arundel is a charming village, just the right size to enjoy several walks taking in the parks, castle and the many shops and restaurants. Arundel is also small enough to get away from it all. The entrance to the apartment is right off the main street in the center of town. It's set back behind a storefront, so it's very quiet and private with a secret garden. The studio is very nice; lots of natural light, very comfortable furnishings and pleasing decor. The owner, Val, is very accommodating and a great host, sharing tips on local sights to a favorite Pub. Not only would I recommend the property, I would not hesitate to stay again.
