Purchases Restaurant & Accommodation

Purchases is a beautful period townhouse with large airy rooms that have been equipped to a very high standard. Its a joy to stay here as the staff are friendly and welcoming and an excellent breakfast is served downstairs in the dining room. There is also a restaurant and bar downstairs which we didn't have time to try this time.

Thr price has increased over one year quite substantially but the rooms have been refurbished to a very high standard

Everything. A truly excellent stay

The staff were very cheerful and helpful. The location in Chichester is very central.

We have stayed here many times and it has been wonderful. However, on this occasion, things were not how we were expecting. We were in a very small room for the price, it was too hot and the only way to cool down was keeping windows open (in April), not ideal with the noise of the town outside. We had to run the shower for a long time to stop the temperature fluctuating which almost resulted in the slow drain flooding the bathroom. There were cobwebs in the room and behind the bedside cabinets hadn’t been dusted for some time. (As in the photo.) We were told the incorrect time for breakfast which wasn’t the end of the world but was inconvenient and I’m afraid for the money, breakfast was disappointing. I would expect an artisan loaf for toast not a supermarket sliced for example. This was definitely not a £174 a night experience and very disappointing compared to our previous enjoyable stays.

Comfortable, friendly, excellent food
