Luxury self-catering accommodation in Chichester
A charming city in West Sussex, brimming with spired cathedrals and bunting-lined walkways, Chichester is a former Roman and Anglo-Saxon settlement that has become a sprightly hub within the South Downs.
Inside Chichester's 600-year-old buildings there’s Medieval archways, stained glass windows, and patchworked floors that could tell a thousand stories. Preserved Roman ruins, complete with age-old footprints, and delicate mosaic tiles turn this genteel West Sussex destination into living museum. That all said, there's a definite edge of modernity that sees Chichester cited one of the most stylish cities on the South Coast, not to mention its high-ranking university that brings youth and culture year-round.
Just a short drive or train ride from London, Chichester is blissfully placed for city dwellers wanting to explore the nearby coastline and South Downs countryside. With West Wittering (winner of a European Blue Flag Award and one of the nation's most glorious beaches), glinting on the horizon, a flagship theatre, and meandering canals primed for a spot of boating or paddle-boarding, this is a little city that packs a big punch.
