Summary: Lou (the host) was fantastic, the house was spectacular, and so well kitted out. All of us had SUCH a wonderful time at Priory Coach House. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Nick M. Jun 3, 2025 05:09:17 PM
Summary: We were a party of 12, a family group, and the house and its layout were perfect for our needs. The owner, Lou, is very attentive and diligent in making sure that all is in order, and to ensure that you have what you need. There is a large kitchen and dining area with views on two sides. The location is highly attractive, in its own grounds shared with the owner, close to the beach (5 minutes). The beach is pebble and exposed (it was quite windy during our stay) but beautiful and bracing. The location is a bird-watchers paradise, Pagham Harbour is a large expanse of tidal wetland. For those up for a walk around the harbour (45 minutes), lunch at The Crab and Lobster is very good (but it's a looong walk). Overall, highly recommended.

Summary: Kitchen had all the necessary equipment for cooking and we all enjoyed coming together at the end of the day to eat and talk. Beds comfortable, spacious and clean and bathrooms were well apportioned We used the garden to enjoy the fab weather and have a large range of games. Long walks to the beach through interesting foliage were much appreciated by all. The children found numerous stones, shells and pebbles on the beach and insisted on studying them in great detail. The sitting room provided ample space and opportunity to enjoy many family games. The table tennis table was much used and enjoyable The children’s den area is an inspired idea as they claimed it for themselves with no grown ups allowed. They really guarded the “secret” staircase to the kitchen. The balcony provided great views across the landscape. All in all a great house and a memorable weekend.

Summary: We used this property for a family get together for a 50th birthday. The place itself was perfect and provided everything we could have needed. The owner Lou was on hand to help if needed. The rooms were lovely with comfortable beds and plenty of space. The downstairs areas were great with enough space for everyone and really well thought out. Overall I would definitely recommend this property, everyone had a great time!

Summary: Everything was as described and very clean/comfortable. Great for a family gathering and enjoyed by all.

Summary: Ages 5 months - 70's, 16 of us enjoyed a fabulous family weeks holiday at the Coach House. We enjoyed many watersports activities, carrying equipment to the beach by our very strong and capable children, wives and grandchildren. Space for chilling and enjoying table tennis and playing games in the house was in abundance. Bedrooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable and Lou was very accommodating with splitting beds into singles as we required. The only comment we did have was lack of a chest of drawers in most of the bedrooms, so majority of clothes stayed in suitcases. Equipment and the grounds were very welcome along with bbq, pizza oven and fire pit ... all very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

Summary: As a winter location, we still had a fabulous time! The house is so comfortable and spacious. We were a party of 16, I wasn’t sure where our single person was going to sleep, but there were enough sofas for him to make himself comfortable. We had lovely walks to the beach, we even swam in the sea. Lou couldn’t have been more helpful. We are hoping that we might revisit in the summer because we think it would be absolutely incredible with plenty of garden. Space for fun and barbecues. we made good use of the table tennis table in the living room! I would strongly recommend this place.

Summary: There are no negatives I can think of with Priory Coach House, only superlatives. Definitely a 10/10. I had booked this for my wife's 40th birthday to celebrate with friends and children. 10 adults and 8 children. The place is beautifully decorated and the lay out perfect for our stay and celebration. The kitchen is enormous, as is the living room and we happily spent time between both. The children never asked for their iPads once. The bunk bed room was a hit, as was the Den and table tennis. Just as much of a hit for the adults as the children was the bar/ dance area. Each bedroom has an en-suite and the decoration is exquisite and to a very high standard. The beach and sea is visible from the coach house and just a 5 minute walk away. From there it's a 30-40min walk along the beach to Selsey. Even on our last day of a long weekend, everyone was still commenting on what an amazing place it is.

Summary: Absolutely loved the house! Truly beautiful property in a great location with great attention to detail that has been lovingly crafted. The location is wonderful, a few minutes to the beach. One night in this property and you’ll be captured by it’s spell! It’s wonderful! Lou was very helpful and the house has everything you need. There were 16 of us, all rooms are en suite so no queuing for a shower ha ha!! We will be back one day! Thank you for a great stay!

Summary: It was very clean, apart from the windows which really do need cleaning! Apart from that Lou had included many really useful and thoughtful touches.
