About the host
Hosted by Mrs Nicky Cross
Hi everyone I am Nicky and together with my husband Peter we host Keeper's Retreat and Keeper's Lodge. I have been lucky enough to live in this area all my life and we have lived in Keeper's house adjacent to our apartments for over twenty years. We love sharing our home with our many visitors and have taken great pride in making our accommodation everything you would expect from an elegant and stylish country retreat. Our many guests appear to love it so far but we are never complacent. We continue to learn and strive on an ongoing basis to improve our visitor experience.
Why they chose this property
Set in the heart of the South Downs National Park and immediately adjacent to the beautiful Stansted Estate. This Idyllic rural setting provides a real 'Escape to the Country' and yet is deceptively close to an array of great places to visit. You can relax and unwind knowing so many interesting and beautiful things to see are just a few minutes drive away.
This is the perfect dog friendly base for exploring the Hampshire and West Sussex countryside and coastline. A walking and cycling haven close to Chichester and Portsmouth and a popular spot for the world renown Goodwood Festival of Speed and Revival enthusiasts.
Keeper's Lodge is secreted adjacent to our own recently renovated 1920's farm cottage, a completely independent and purpose built building which houses both Keeper's Retreat(first floor) and the ground floor apartment Keeper's Lodge. It comfortably accommodates two people and is the ideal spot for a romantic short break or longer holiday.

Tastefully finished to the highest standard and offering modern and user friendly facilities throughout, we have incorporated everything you need to make your holiday as comfortable and enjoyable as it should be.
This is the ideal place to enjoy a special occasion or a trip to the world renown Goodwood Estate for 'The Festival of Speed ','The Goodwood Revival' or the many horse racing events.
