About this property
The Boat House by inspirestays-com - a luxury cottage sleeping 2 guests in 1 bedroom
THE PROPERTY:
Acres of space await in this sublime one-bedroom home just a few minutes from Chichester and the Harbour. The Boat House is listed here by Inspire Stays dot com, the premier independent holiday company in the South East. Visit us direct for full info about this home, including accessibility, a video tour and a floor plan.
The open-plan ground floor features a fully-equipped island kitchen, dining area, and a cosy sitting room with a log burner and Smart TV. The first floor offers a sumptuous Super King (6') bedroom with balcony and garden views, and a mezzanine walkway leads to the spa-like bathroom revealing a double-end freestanding bath with views over the fields, and a walk-in shower. Outside, the expansive courtyard and lawned garden invites picnics and relaxation. Whether sipping wine on the balcony or soaking in the bath, luxury and tranquillity awaits!

LOCAL AREA:
Please note that due to the limitations of this platform, the location may not be exactly displayed. We will confirm the exact location and full directions once your booking has been confirmed.
Nearby sights, attractions and day trips include the quayside village of Itchenor, Chichester Harbour, West Wittering beach, Fishbourne Roman Palace, the South Downs, Chichester, the Goodwood Estate and Portsmouth.
For a local walk try Saltern Way a few minutes from the cottage, a lovely flat walk/cycle path to Chichester and wheelchair friendly. You can also walk to Chichester Marina where you'll find the Boat House Café, and a little further will take you to Del Quay and The Crown and Anchor, a lovely pub right on the water.
Great restaurants and pubs nearby include the 18th century Lamb Inn 0.8 miles away, the excellent Crab and Lobster Gastropub at Sidlesham Quay, and CHK Italian near Birdham. In nearby East Wittering there are small supermarkets (Co-op/Tesco Express), along with several pubs/bars, restaurants, takeaways and surf/watersports shops. Larger supermarkets are available in Chichester and Selsey a short drive away.
