This is our 3rd stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast. We instantly feel rested and sleep so well in the comfortable beds. The steam packet is spotlessly clean. Everything is perfect. The room is so well equipped including a kitchen area, and sitting area with an awesome view of the estuary and river. The sea air and the breakfast make it a wonderful place to visit. We chose to have a full English breakfast and it was delicious. Mark and Arleta work tirelessly to keep everything perfect. Thank you so much. Can’t wait to come back x

The location is excellent for the train station and the local shops, 5 min walk. Room had everything you could want and it was lovely, clean and tidy.

The bed in room 1 was bad on one side of the mattress it has sunk so sleeping on the right side only, luckily I was alone! I was offered z full cooked breakfast, but only wanted cereal and toast. I was only offered museli the whole stay, no other choice of cereal offered. Was not asked if I preferred white or brown toast, it was always seeded bread used. The owners were very accommodating but over asked if everything was OK. As soon as I started on my museli my toast was brought out, it's too quick, so cold toast always!.

We received a warm welcome from Mark and were shown to a large ensuite bedroom with veiws of both the river and the garden.The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The shower in the ensuite worked well. Breakfast in the morning was in the pleasant dining room overlooking the boatyard. The breakfasts we had were delicious and perfectly cooked. There are lots of great walks from the hotel and the town centre has quite a few good shops and restaurants. Overall, we had a very enjoyable weekend and would like to return sometime. Thank you.

We liked everything.

The business is person-centred, so that there are little touches which made me very appreciative of the hosts. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Breakfast cooked to order; Mark managed to deliver crispy BACK bacon which I seldom achieve!!!

Whilst the site is clear about when the bar and evening meals are available, I would've welcomed the opportunity to have a couple of pints on the nights I was there. There is a pub within 20 yds but I'd rather the money had gone to Mark and his partner.

Superb location with beautiful views over the River Arun. Hosts Mark and Arleta extremely friendly and helpful. Room spotless with fantastic facilities. Bed very comfortable with high quality cotton linen. Lots of little touches which are appreciated from the plentiful and high quality handwash, shower gel and handcream to the well stocked kitchen. Breakfast was fantastic, cooked to perfection and I so appreciated you accommodating my coeliac needs. The beautiful table display and flowers were so nice and inviting and the coffee was just divine. Mark was so wonderful each day offering his insight to the area and the history of Littlehampton. They are a wonderful couple with a real gem, one we intend to visit again and tell all the family about too.

Not one thing. We could have done with more time so we could have stayed a day longer to have Marks roast! But now we have an excuse to come back. If the breakfast is a glimpse at the food on offer in the evening/Sunday Roast this is a la carte indeed.

The owners of this character B&B were so welcoming and cooked tasty english breakfasts to order. There was a kitchen in the room which was great for preparing a simple meal as we didn't eat out every night. Has a fridge. Great location with pubs nearby. Short walk to centre. Right next to river walk, you can get to the beach along the riverwalk. Parking was on property and free.

Pub is only open on the weekends, but the upside is that it's very quiet in the evening.

Location, distance to town, beach and getting to other places. Room had a kitchenette so you didn’t have to rely on takeout or restaurants and could enjoy a chill evening in. Owners are marvellous, could so easily chat away the hours, wonderful people. Really went above expectation to make us welcome and serve excellent breakfast. Proper milk in the fridge for tea.

The shower didn’t drain away and I forgot to mention it, I’m sure it would have been sorted had I done so.

The Steam Packet is a lovely place to stay. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable with excellent facilities, especially a very comfortable bed! Our room also had a beautiful view over the river Arun, and was a stones throw from two beaches and the centre of town. Breakfast was excellent too. Mark and his partner run a very tight ship and were very kind and helpful.

All good.

The owners were very helpfull and friendly and offered to sort any issues with our stay. Which I say we did not have any issues. The food was lovely very nice. The room was lovely over looked The garden you had a little kitchen in room which we did not really use but handy. The property was very near the beach and also a lynx golf course which my husband raved about. All in all a very nice stay would come back

Nothing really I mean it was on the main road but not really an issue at all

very good, including strawberries and a few grapes to finish off. The view over the river, watching the water rise and fall with the tide. The short walk into town for an evening meal.

The kitchen utensils were a bit flimsey, did the job but only just. Not enough lids to cover the saucepans, not energy effiecent, diificult to keep things warm.
