We stayed in Hilda in December 2011 for our wedding anniversary. What a wonderful experience. The views over the sea are just amazing. The accommodation is first class and exceptionally clean. Jenny's breakfasts are exceptional, including both kippers and smoked haddock on the menu. Jenny could not have been more helpful, including giving us the recipes for items she was... More

Although we live in East Sussex we had never explored the Selsey region and in order to experience something a little different for a landmark wedding anniversary we chose "Hilda" hoping that it would give us a taste of a bygone age. It most certainly did and we have just spent 3 wonderful days there. Quite apart from the genuinely... More

I've read the other reviews about this extraordinary bed and breakfast/home, and agree with them all. Our weekend with Hilda and Jenny was wonderful in every way. A truely exceptional experience and one which we will repeat next year. You really have to stay with Jenny to begin to appreciate what must be the finest Bed and Breakfast on the... More

We loved every minute of our four night stay in Hilda. Jenny made us very welcome, and we can only agree with all the other praise for her home cooked breakfast. A choice from fresh local eggs, bacon, and tomatoes, fantastic kippers and smoked haddock, and all served with a lovely sea view! The suite, it's much more than a... More

I found Hilda's this April on the web. Do not be confused - Hilda's is not just another B & B. Mrs Jenny Longhurst's care and attention to detail is superb, super soft towels- changed daily. Bed linen of the finest quality. The large lounge is homely,comfortable and tastefully furnished. Everything is immaculate. Add to this Jenny's breakfast from Smoked... More

An enchanting and distinctly different treasure. Located in a totally unspoilt and all but unknown corner of England where on one side the land slips gently in to the sea and the other faces the beauty of the Sussex coutryside and South Downs. The standards of accomodation, attention to detail and service are higher and infinitely more warm and friendly... More

We chose Hilda because we were looking for a different venue to celebrate our birthdays. The location is lovely, with an ever changing sea view and the accommodation is so atmospheric, you can sense the bygone age of Victorian rail travel. Jenny is a brilliant and friendly host and cooks a generous and delicious breakfast. A great and memorable weekend!

This was our second stay in what we call 'our place of respite' Situated next to the sea, Hilda offers peace, in the most beautifully furnished, restored Pullman carriage. The service offered by Jenny and her thoughtful touches made our second stay memorable. Jenny's breakfasts are simply divine and we were full all day! The only negative is that this... More

Hilda is an old Pullman rail carriage, which has been extended to provide extremely comfortable guest accommodation, whilst still retaining the unique character of a railway carriage - think Agatha Christie, Murder on the Orient Express for an idea of the ambience. The setting of Hilda couldn't be better with panoramic views of the coast stretching east towards Bognor and... More
