The Sail Loft, Highleigh is set within the grounds and adjacent to a meticulously renoved 17th Century Sussex threshing Barn, Sunnybrook Barn, now a family home. The quiet hamlet of Highleigh, just 4 miles south of the historic City of Chichester with its Cathedral and Theatre. Very close are the natural harbours of Chichester and Pagham to enjoy the wildlife and walks or water sports. The beautiful, well known, sandy beaches at West Wittering are just 10 mins drive away, or just walk or cycle from the door to enjoy the wonderful views of the countryside and coast. Goodwood Estate with its many famous motoring and racing events and aero club, is within 5 miles, and the South Downs National Park just to the North of Chichester. The recently established Medmerry Reserve is close by for bird watchers and walkers.

    This was a delightful property to stay in, with lovely hosts and friendly chickens roaming the garden. It was an excellent barn conversion, cosy and warm in some very cold weather. A good location for Chichester, the Witterings and Selsey as it was a short drive to each.

    Lovely property ideal for 2 people with a great location providing easy access to the many small harbour quays, beaches and local pubs and cafe's. Annie and Chris make you feel very welcome and are available if you have any queries or if you need some local knowledge of the area. The sail loft provides comfortable accommodation with all the little extra's such as tea, coffee, and even a small jug of milk left in the fridge for that much needed arrival refreshment. A bottle of wine, chocolates, and dish of cherry's were a lovely personal touch. There is a lovely maturing garden (that the photos not show) with tables and chairs to sit out when the weather allows.

    This bijou property is ideal for two adults who wish to explore Chichester and the nearby coast. It is well appointed and comfortable. The owners were most kind and helpful, encouraging the use of outside seating in their garden as the weather was hot during out visit. Despite the property being in a converted roof space, there are sufficient windows and doors to keep it cool and although quite close to the owners' own property, there is plenty of privacy. Altogether worth a return visit.

    Just returned from a peaceful 4 night break over our 34th wedding anniversary . The Sail Loft is a modern and comfortable accommodation . We were met by Pauline and shown around. Thank you for the little extras ( grapes / flowers and heart shaped cakes) . We used the garden during the late afternoon which was very relaxing . The area has many places of interest . We went to Arundel Castle - beautiful . Also trips out to Bosham and Dell Quay - both idealic settings to watch water sports and have a beverage or ice cream . We also visited Chichester Cathedral and the Roman Palace at Fishbourne . Both were very interesting and well worth the time . So we packed a lot in our 4 days but didn’t feel exhausted . Thank you The Sail Loft x

    It has everything you need for a holiday and is in a good location for exploring this part of the country. Plenty of good coastal walks and pubs with excellent food nearby. Steps up to the accomodation may be a problem for the less agile.

    We met Pauline and John, were welcomed to the Sail Loft and made to feel very ‘at home’. Unfortunately we did not get to meet with Anne as the timing of our visit didn’t coincide with her being there. We were able to visit Chichester, Bognor Regis, Arundel and Selsey very easily from Highleigh. We were able to do some good walks with use of local maps. A very pleasant stay and would recommend to others. Thank you very much.
