Lovely country retreat
A grea place to stay. The facilities are top notch and the location is lovely. Close enough to Chichester to get in easily but good for walks. The only improvement I can suggest is access to wifi as internet coverage was patchy.

Brilliant location
We had a relaxing few days here - easy access to the South Downs (can walk from the door) and the coast. Lovely barn conversion done to a high standard.

Lovely place for a stay in the area
The house has been very sensitively converted from an old farm building, with nice exposed beams giving it a classic look. The interior is well-laid out, and very comfortable. The wood-burning stove was very welcome in the winter, when we were there. The owners were friendly, responsive and very helpful. The location, just outside Chichester, is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy the countryside with easy access to shops. I would stay here again.

A week away
This is the second time we have stayed at the Run and 3 years on from our first stay the property and location still have the same wow factor. The property was very clean and all we could need was available in the property. Beds were very comfy and the house was lively and warm. Will certainly recommend.

A perfect place to relax
We had a wonderful time in this house. There are no stairs to climb and an excellent kitchen. It is a peaceful place for comming down and relax in the garden. The property was very clean and perfect prepared with all necessary things you need.

Could have been 5star
Quiet location in a well appointed spacious countryside cottage. It’s a great location for easy access to Chichester and other coastal towns. Unfortunately on check in we found a number of areas and items that had not been well cleaned. In addition there were stains/marks on a number of the walls and the furniture covers were in dire need of a wash or dry clean. The dish washer was not working but the issue was resolved promptly by the landlord who was always available to assist in resolving issues.

Cleanliness not up to expectation.
Only scored 3 for cleanliness because the lounge suite covers are very grubby and smelly. Although the beds are extremely comfortable the duvets and pillows needed laundering as they had an odour about them. This was our second visit to The Run this year and we thought the above had deteriorated since then. We have said "No" to "Would you recommend this property to others" due to the comments above. Also, a basic welcome pack would be appreciated in such a rural setting, other self-catering properties we have used in recent years all seem to provide one.

The Barn
Fantastic but it would have helped to have an instruction sheet on how to use the washer/dryer, how to do the TV channels, where or what the wifi password is and a little more info on places to go and explore. We couldn't find any ice block trays either. We decided to go to the office in Chichester to find out these things but found out from the sales office that the holiday rental office was not even in Chichester so a lovely lady in sales tried to help by calling but got no response from the holiday rental office, she even rang emergency number with no response, finally after an hour someone called back, this woman was not even working but came to the barn to try and help us and it wasn't easy for her either but she finally got it so thanks to those two wonderfull ladies.

They say you can't have it all but arguably at The Run, you can. Located in a quiet rural idyll but within easy reach of Chichester either by car, bike or on foot the property is spacious and well equipped with everything you could need in a home from home. You also have the coast and local attractions like Goodwood and the Weald & Downland museum nearby. We stayed here for weeks and didn't want to leave. Walking up the trundle/St Roche's Hill is a must (you can always drive to the car park if you don't fancy the walk) as you get an amazing panorama (from the trig point especially) stretching for miles. The trundle even features a mobile coffee van at the top (excellent brownies) and the wonderful Royal Oak pub near the bottom. The landlords are nearby and were friendly, helpful and welcoming, we couldn't have asked for more. For anyone planning a working holiday I found the internet to be fast enough for my needs in that regard at around 23mbps download speed. We can't recommend this property highly enough and Henry Adams were always very helpful when we had a question.

A wonderful holiday getaway!
A wonderful quiet, peaceful location for relaxing. Accommodation was excellent with well stocked kitchen for self-catering. Location was ideal for exploring the South Downs area, Chichester and the coast. Plenty of things to see and do. Great for walking, biking, beach and general sightseeing. Will definitely visit again.

Spotlessly clean, very sympathetically converted farm building which is extremely comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 2nd stay at the Run. Very peaceful and comfortable to return to in the evening. It is nice to know that it is heated, very efficiently by an air source heat pump, very green! We loved being encouraged to visit the beautiful bluebell wood on the farm, which we did one evening. This is a very attractive part of West Sussex with many very good wildlife sites to visit (Sussex wildlife Trust and RSPB) and pretty good for cycling too.

Post lockdown staycation 2021
The Run has everything you need in a holiday home. All Covid safe and secure. Location was perfect plenty of walking, cycling routes from the door and bus stop in the village to take you up onto the South Downs way or into Chichester. We had Groceries delivered on our arrival easy to organised and choice of super markets. We visited Chichester Marina, Tinwood Estate, Goodwood and Kingsley Vale. And cycled to Selsey, Hayling Island and the Witterings. No complaints at all thank you for a great 5 night stay.

Susie, from Bucks. A great place from which to visit many Sussex wildlife sites on our bikes.
We enjoyed our stay enormously. It was a wonderfully peaceful. The super barn conversion had lovely outlooks and there were plenty of quiet country roads through beautiful countryside to explore on our bikes. It was reassuringly spotless and wonderfully comfortable, especially after turning up the heating slightly. There was also plenty of dry wood available for the wood burning stove. We found the television difficult to operate. Clearly written instructions would have been useful but it was very nice to meet the owner who came round very promptly to fix it. It was perfect! 1 quibble - no dishcloths available, nor any dishwasher tablets.

A lovely stay
My partner and I had a lovely five night stay here. We were house hunting in the area and it made a perfect base. Large, comfy barn, excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Owner really helpful when we had problems with the TV. Enclosed sunny garden. We went for a couple of good walks from the property along quiet country lanes. Very much recommended.
