There was space for us all to spend time together but also room for some quiet time when needed. It was only a short walk to the main shopping street and the Marina. The housekeeper met us on arrival and showed us around, she was very helpful and friendly and we had contact details if needed. We had a very enjoyable stay at Midhurst and would certainly consider booking again for another family holiday in the future.

Some bathrooms a little on the small side but overall adequate for the family. The location is on a main road but suitable for access to the town and harbour and within easy walking distance.
