In the heart of historic Chichsester, The Old Grocery offers luxurious self-catering accommodation within easy walking distance of independent shops and restaurants. We offer a truly personal ‘home from home’ experience, perfect for an unforgettable getaway.

The Old Grocery gets its name from the local census from 1871 onwards which shows a local grocer, Mr Henry Stoner, his wife Charlotte and their lodger Mr Harris, the grocer’s assistant, lived at the house. The property has been beautifully refurbished & now offers luxurious accommodation to provide a tranquil and indulgent holiday experience.

On arrival, we offer a few fabulous treats to make the start of your stay as perfect as possible. You can look forward to complimentary tea and cake or a cream tea as well as some local treats. We also offer a complimentary bottle of fizz in the fridge for stays of 5 days or more. Milk, tea, coffee and sugar are always left for your arrival.

The stylish living room is great for unwinding in with friends or family after a busy day sightseeing. Watch your favourite show on the large widescreen smart TV and DVD/Blu player. We also offer a brilliant variety of board games for some evening fun.

Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen. We have everything you need, including a spice rack, a range cooker with double oven, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster and a Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules. The open plan living space is ideal for entertaining, allowing the whole family to be together. French windows open into a delightful patio area with a bistro table for al fresco dining over a few glasses of wine on a sunny afternoon.
