The Experience

The Renwicks are tremendous hosts. Their wonderful flagstone-halled farmhouse in the South Downs National Park is great for walkers and cyclists and you get your own guest sitting room for planning your next adventure. Amanda gives you generous breakfasts: muesli, Greek yogurt and fruit, bacon and sausages from the local butcher, eggs from their own chickens and homemade jams. You eat on the terrace or in the quirky rustic kitchen by the wood-burner with comfy sofas.

You’re just 5 minutes from a good fish and chip shop in Chilgrove, and Chichester is an 8-minute drive for endless restaurants, but if you can’t be bothered to get in the car then you can use a simple space to prepare your own food – hurrah! You’ll also sometimes find a treat waiting, like shortbread or a slice of homemade cake. Bedrooms are comfortable with wool duvets, silk-filled pillows and garden flowers.

Walk for miles through the beautiful countryside.

Reviews

Wonderful! Amanda is a friendly welcoming impressively energetic host. She was attentive to us, even left some wine for us to enjoy in the snug. A working farm with some outbuildings diversified into offices, with a large garden, in the countryside with easy access to Chichester and the Weald and Downland Museum, and Westdean Gardens. The rooms were comfortable and light, the bathroom enormous, the breakfast excellent. The rooms are part of the farm house but set apart, they are above the guests dining room which had a roaring fire when we visited in a very chilly damp November.

Mary Jane, Brighton

We stayed two nights at Crows Hall Farm over the bank holiday weekend and, as seasoned bed & breakfasters, cannot recommend this establishment highly enough. Our room was in the 16th century side of the farmhouse, with exclusive use of a lounge (with a wood burner which would be a great feature in winter). Our bathroom was the size of another bedroom (which it used to be) and had a bath as well as a huge shower. This level of accommodation in a hotel would be eye-wateringly expensive, but Crows Hall Farm is very reasonably priced indeed and represents great value for money.

John, Chobham

A gem of a B&B, enhanced even further by the immense warmth of Amanda’s welcome, her attention to every detail, amazingly comfy bed, wonderful breakfasts and her anticipation of guests’ needs. We stayed for 7 nights and loved every moment.

Gillian, Harpenden

Amazing place to stay, with beautiful nature all around you! Very nice and friendly Amanda will help you with all your needs. Will be staying here again just to taste the freshly made honey :)

Nicolas, Belgium,2450 Meerhout

As returning visitors to beautiful Crows Hall Farm, we cannot rate it highly enough. Amanda is so warm and welcoming - and she does the best breakfast in the county! The house is cosy, spotlessly clean and her attention to every detail makes for a perfect stay. Hoping to return again soon.

Julia, London

We stayed at Crows Hall Farm back in April when it was still cold and a bit wet. However, we were made to feel extremely welcome by Amanda and nothing seemed too much trouble. Our room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious with fresh fruit and freshly laid eggs. Would definitely recommend and hope to return at some point. Thank you Amanda for everything.

Elaine, Dursley

We think you would struggle to find a more welcoming or comfortable B&B. Firstly the bed, can it be plush & homely at the same time? This was, we slept so well. Seondly the breakfast. It’ tasty and very generous. Don’t miss the scrambled eggs. And we have to mention the space, you do have your own wing of the house, own eating space, own little lounge, huge bathroom and a choice of bedrooms. And did we mention Amanda, truly the host with the most. Friendly, helpful, full of info and thinks of everything. And the final mention for Douglas, the sweetest dog you could wish for.

Lynne & Jim, Berwick upon Tweed

A gem in the South Downs! What a wonderful B&B in a beautiful setting. Amanda is an excellent hostess and whips up a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs taken from the garden. The accommodation is spotless and incredibly comfortable, a wonderful nights sleep. We couldn’t recommend this accommodation more highly.

Jessica, London

We’ve had the most relaxing stay and felt spoilt by Amanda’s care and attention to detail. She is an example of how a B & B should be run and deserves an award. This was the best B & B we’ve ever stayed!

Carmen, London

Loreto and I had a lovely time here. Amanda is a wonderful hostess and made us tea and lemon cake. Our dog Luna was made to feel a member of the family! It is a fantastic base for exploring Chichester, Arundel, the Witterings, etc. Thanks very much indeed.

Ed and Loreto, Shaftesbury

Amanda is the most welcoming of hosts, and went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel at home. If pure comfort and perfect breakfasts are your thing, in a stunning setting, then look no further.

Tassy, London

I loved this farmhouse and the very friendly and welcoming hostess Amanda. Over the years, she has had fantastic and well deserved reviews and is keen to make her guests comfortable and happy.

Fiona, Sawday's Inspector

Amanda could not have been more welcoming and accommodating from the moment we arrived. We felt completely at home and wonderfully taken care of. The setting is beautiful as well. This is a truly special place run by a truly special family!

Helen, London

The warmest welcome from wonderful host Amanda, nothing was too much trouble. The Bedrooms are clean, pretty and airy, crisp cotton bedding and sublimely comfortable mattresses. The view from our double room looked out onto the beautifully kept garden. Spot woodpeckers on the feeders and if you are very lucky hear a Cuckoo! The huge rainfall shower ensures you are fully awake to enjoy a fantastic Aga full English Breakfast then out to explore the sublime South Downs... Kingley Vale with its ancient Yews is a must, as is Bosham where you can catch a foot ferry across the water. Magic!

Mel and Nick, Bristol

A peaceful retreat in busy Sussex and just a few miles from Chichester in rolling South Downs. A working farm but not intrusive on visitors' activities. Amanda was an attentive host in the background, but always helpful if called upon. Huge breakfasts offered and enjoyed. A very comfortable stay for three nights enabled us to enjoy Pallant House in Chichester and explore surrounding country.

Robert, Dawlish, Devon

This place is just wonderful. Amanda does an incredible job. It’s beautiful, spotlessly clean and everything down to the linen and the butter dish is high quality. It’s very tastefully decorated but practical and homely too. It has everything you need and Amanda is on hand for anything else. Perfect for families with little ones - you have the whole upstairs to yourself and can lock the doors at the top of the stairs so there is no escape! Our girls (4&2) loved it. They decided that they wanted to stay and had to be prised away. We will definitely be back!

Ian, London

Absolutely fantastic!!! (Another perfect Sawday experience) Great hosts, lovely rooms, amazing shower, and a great walk up through the farm's fields to the Devil's humps. Very special.

Andrew, London

Wow, late booking and just passing through for a night but what a great find this was. Absolutely spotless, fabulous dahlias (thanks Amanda, our dahlia cutting garden is already prepped for this year) and gorgeous breakfast. No concerns with being on a working farm. Our puppy left a tiny present in the kitchen, so assuming we are allowed back, this place is very much on the list to re-visit. Thanks for a great stay.

Malcolm, Warwicks

What a wonderful time we all had with you last weekend! Your hospitality was so very welcoming throughout our stay! Our rooms were beautifully furnished and the beds were extremely comfortable, your breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. Your personal recommendations were extremely valuable too! Thank you for making our visit so very memorable, our three girls want to come back next year!

Joanne, London

An excellent B&B: super hospitality throughout from Amanda - really very helpful indeed. A great bedroom, bathroom and sitting-room, and a wonderful location in the South Downs. Very dog-friendly too. Delicious (and huge!) breakfast. Very well placed for exploring the Downs and South Coast, with many good pubs nearby. Highly recommended.
