“The Vestry strikes a solid chord for its Chichester location, putting the town within easy reach, and my exploration revealed rooms that feel genuinely spacious, with beds I found quite comfortable. The staff were notably attentive, even arranging an early breakfast for a tight schedule, and that complimentary parking, when available, is a welcome touch in the area.”
