This is a super place to stay. It's right on the water, in a quirky, historic building. The bedrooms are simple but comfortable, and the staff are friendly. We stayed as a family group (4 rooms) fol... See more

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Basic, clean and pretty spot

Staff very welcoming. Room basic but tidy and clean and all the necessities. Shared bathroom and shower room very clean. Lovely views, although bring bug repellent in warm weather as its right on the water!
Have to pay for parking at nearby public car park (barely a 5 min walk) but reasonable prices, £7 for 12 hours overnight.

Only negatives were that my large window opened out to an accessible flat roof so didnt feel safe having window open for air during night. Walls also quite thin so was woken by other guests coming and going in the hallway late at night.

Shipshape

I arrived late in the evening, but had no difficulty getting in to my clean, bright room. Shower etc. were excellent. A very pleasant experience, and one I shall repeat if working again in the area.

Comfortable stay.

Stay was good, room was clean and the bed comfortable. Parking was across the road in a public car park, cost overnight was £5.80, I wasn’t aware of this before booking.

Charming room, great location

Charming and clean room, exceptional view on Chichester Harbour, pleasant and peaceful place (at the time of our visit, in the middle of the week, there was no sailing activities). Perfect starting point to walk along the river... And lots of nice boats to admire.

Serenity in a peaceful spot

The setting overlooking the harbour was stunning.
Check that the tin for tea is actually filled and you will have to be responsible for your own milk in your room. The onus is on the guest! They charge for breakfast which although we knew I thought was a bit cheeky, we chose to eat elsewhere. The mould in the shower could have been removed, minor detail, but important.
I cannot fault the location and ambience from the sailing fraternity.

A lovely place to stay

Itchenor Sailing Club is a beautiful spot to stay. The rooms were lovely and they were clean and bright. We needed to check in late and the staff at the club made it so easy and convenient. We absolutely loved our stay.

Lovely stay at the Sailing Club

Lovely staff at the Sailing Club. Anna went out of her way to accommodate us (literally) when there was a problem with our original booking.
Great location, lovely bar with a garden overlooking the water & lots going on.
It was so nice we didn't stray very far all weekend.

We stayed at Itchenor Sailing Club for a couple of nights last week. The double en suite room was very comfortable and clean with the most fabulous views. The village of Itchenor is gorgeous with a great pub which we visited both nights and a cafe serving delicious breakfast. Wonderful walks along the coast.
We left feeling relaxed and recharged and will definitely return.

Good, basic accomodation

Really good, affordable accommodation. Ideal for outdoor activity breaks. Very helpful staff and a nice clubhouse and cafe available open to guests. No evening meals, but the pub nearby is really good and serves food in the evening.

Lovely peaceful stay by the water!

Itchenor Sailing Club is a haven with lots of boats on the water. It's clean and has all you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay. The Ship Inn pub 2 mins away for dinner if the club isn't serving food. West Witterings (sandy beach) is close by. A lovely little find.
