The house was family friendly. We asked for a travel cot, highchair and bed which they provided and this was very helpful. Tess and Ed left us some treats which were a lovely surprise to start our holiday. They communicated with us well. The location to the seafront is great. Only a few minutes walk there and to the park.Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if we went back to Littlehampton. Thank you!
This is a lovely little cottage with all kinds of little touches that make the welcome warm. We have family nearby and look forward to going back soon.
We had a wonderful stay at flint cottage. It was exceptionally clean and the owners have gone above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The property is beautifully designed. The beds were really comfy. We were sent a digital welcome pack before we arrived which was really helpful. Would highly recommend.
The cottage is really cozy! The kitchen is big and has everything you need and the owners had put some drinks in the fridge, really nice!The bedrooms were really nicely decorated. The only thing we think can be improved are the beds. Too small for our taste and the mattrasses could be a bit more comfy.We had a lovely stay!
Fabulous property, amazing hosts and well stocked for home cooking away from home.
We had a wonderful time with the children walking to the beach and playground everyday.
Great food in Littlehampton and plenty to keep us busy. Thank you for such a cosy cottage with an excellent hot shower and comfortable beds.
More than happy to return here again .
Absolutely beautiful cottage with everything we needed for a lovely stay. Very generous hosts, we were made to feel so welcome. We were given an online copy of the guest book which really helped to plan ahead. Great recommendations provided to explore Littlehampton and surrounding areas. Highly recommend.
Small but perfectly formed! A lovely cottage perfect for our stay and visit to Goodwood. Close to the beach and other great places to visit.
Probably the best equipped kitchen I have ever come across - super sharp knives were a revelation!!
The little touches were much appreciated from the welcome card and chocolate to the milk, bread and other bits left for us to enjoy.
Communication with the hosts was great and we would definitely stay again.
It had virturally everything we needed for making meals in the evening, including a full size refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, oven etc. It also had a combination washer/dryer which was much appreciated by us. There was enough room for all 5 of us to eat with a little rearranging of the kitchen area. The beds were very comfy. The bathroom upstairs is in the master bedroom area, not between the two bedrooms but we manage that as there is another bathroom downstairs.
The cottage did not disappoint. As well as friendly communications from the owners there was a generous amount of basics and goodies in the kitchen which were much appreciated. Everything had been clearly explained including the steep stair case so there were no difficult surprises. We were very comfortable and it was ideal for our early Christmas together. Having a fully equipped kitchen made all the cooking easy . We also enjoyed a lovely walk on the nearby beach. Lovely location.The only thing I missed was a personal contact with the owners which would have been nice, but as doctors I expect they are very busy and may work some distance away so understand not very practical for them. Thank you both for welcoming card and a very enjoyable stay in your lovely and thoughtfully decorated and well equipped cottage.
Flint Cottage ist eine wunderbare Unterkunft. Die Küche war perfekt ausgestattet, Ed und Tess haben sogar im Kühlschrank lebenswichtige Dinge wie Milch, Butter usw. gelagert. Die Kommunikation war problemlos. Da wir zu fünft waren, war es etwas eng für uns, trotzdem fanden wir alle die Flint Cottage sehr gemütlich. Highlight war das Bad im „Schrank“.
Die Gastgeber Tess and Ed haben sich schon im Vorfeld sehr freundlich gemeldet, um alle Details zu klären. Bei der Ankunft waren bereits Getränke und einige Lebensmittel für uns bereitgstellt, auch reichlich Kaffee uns Tee. Das Haus hat alles was man bentötigt und ist sehr schön eingerichet und schön hell. Im Erdgeschoss ist eine große Küche und das Wohnzimmer, oben ein großes Elternschlafzimmer. Mit den Vorhängen kann man die Räume gut abdunkeln und in der ruhigen Seitenstraße gut schlafen. Es ist nur ein kurzes Stück zum herrlichen Strand und dem schönen Yachthafen. Nächstes mal kommen wir gerne länger, der Ort ist sehr schön und ordentlich und nicht überlaufen.

Why they chose this property
Littlehampton (LA) is a lovely seaside town and one of the sunniest places in the UK. It’s quieter than many of its neighbouring seaside escapes. The sandy beach stretches out for about 0.5km when the tide is out. Our road is generally tranquil with no traffic. We love our location as the beach is a few minutes away, and the town for shops and restaurants is about a five-minute walk. LA has lots to do with water sports, mini-golf, tennis courts, amusement parks, cinema, and many cafes and restaurants. If you like the countryside, there are some great walks about a 10-minute drive from the house, which we have recommended in our welcome pack.
What makes this property unique
Built in 1885 in local Flint and at one point a Florist shop, we have tried to make it as cosy as possible for our family, friends and guests
