About this property

Stylish West Wittering Retreat Near Beach – Thessaly, Sleeps 8, Pet Friendly

Thessaly is a beautiful family holiday home in the heart of West Wittering's prestigious Roman Landing private estate. Just a short walk to the white sands of West Wittering beach this peaceful and private 3+1 bedroom property, sleeping up to 8 guests is a little bit of English seaside heaven.

The property is laid out over two floors with much of the accommodation on the ground floor. Only the master bedroom with en-suite shower is upstairs. The bedrooms comprise of:

Bedroom 1: Master with super-king bed and en-suite shower
Bedroom 2: King-size with beautiful views of the garden
Bedroom 3: Bunk bed room
Bedroom 4 / Playroom: Very spacious room which doubles up as a second sitting room. A pull out daybed can either be a double or separated at two full sized single beds. Guests can request this at the booking stage if they want it to be made and we ask that guests email Wellies & Windbreaks or make a note on their booking to advise the requested make up of this bed.

The garden facing sitting room is the real show piece of the house, with stunning picture windows looking out over the pretty lawned garden and access through patio doors to the outdoor dining area. With comfortable sofas, a smart TV and open fireplace, this room is the real heart of the home and is the perfect place for guests to relax whatever time of year they visit. With a second sitting room facing the garden, there is plenty of space for guests to enjoy the house without feeling on top of each other.

The second sitting room or playroom also doubles up as the fourth bedroom, offering flexibility depending on how many guests are staying. The day bed style bed in this room can be made up as a double or full sized twin beds. If not being used as a bedroom, the day bed can be used for seating.

The kitchen to the side of the property is well equipped and opens out onto the dining area with seating for up to 8 guests.

The garden at Thessaly is a lovely place for guests to relax and children to enjoy playing. There is an outdoor dining space with comfortable seating, large lawned area and trampoline for energetic children. The property offers off-street parking for up to 4 cars which is luxury so close to West Wittering beach. Located in the private West Wittering estate of Roman Landing the property's positioning is unbeatable. It is short walk through the estate to Snowhill Creek, where you can access the coastal path to Itchenor (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and onto the white sands of the National Trust's East Head. Guests can be on the beach in 10-15 minutes but enjoy a lovely walk through the nature reserve to get there or enjoy a spot of crabbing on route. The village of West Wittering with its cafe, pub, butchers, gift shop and small convenience store is just a 5 minute walk and the village of East Wittering with a wide arrange of independent shops and restaurants is a couple of minutes drive.

Thessaly is a fabulous home for the perfect seaside family holiday.

• please note that whilst Thessaly is pet friendly the garden is not completely secure as there is no fencing, just loose hedging and trees. Guests are asked to please not leave dogs unsupervised in the garden or house. Thank you.

Lovely house and great location

Lovely house, very comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic location Garden in need of some attention. Would definitely stay again
Response from VrboOwner on 26 June 2026
Dear Tina Thank you so much for your lovely review and I am really glad you enjoyed your stay so much. Thank you for highlighting the garden to us. I flagged it to the owner and she rectified the situation immediately. The gardener went in yesterday. It turns out he had missed a couple of mows as he had been ill but now has also been instructed be more vigilant with the weeding too. We will be sure to keep on top of it going forward. Best wishes Amanda

One of the best!

Thessaly is one of the best self catering properties we have ever rented. It delivers the peace and space we enjoy in a lovely location and only a short hop from London. Definitely our ‘go to’ escape at any time of the year.

Lovely retreat with children

We loved our stay in Thessaly, very comfortable beds, clean, we enjoyed the different spaces as a family of 5 adults and 2 children. There were games for the kids and we walked to the beach and the local pub (The Wittering) which was very good for lunch or a drink. We would come back!

Thessaly, Roman Landing, West Wittering.

Lovely location, comfortable property in need of some TLC. Only two beds made up for three individuals. Had to make up the third ourselves. Not as clean as would have expected. Dirty windows, random nail, dead insects despite being cleaned before our arrival. Communication with agent; lots of apologies, grateful for raising issues, etc, but basically paying lip service to our concerns. We enjoyed our break, but cannot recommend Wellies and Windbreaks. We have staycations four times a year and have frequently enjoyed better experiences overall, and for less than this four night stay. The home had all the potential for a fabulous stay but sadly was let down by the agent.

A 5 ☆ holiday home experience in a fantastic location

Very possible the best all round holiday accommodation my family has enjoyed over the past 25 years.. Thessaly is ideally located in Roman Landings, which is in the heart of West Wittering. It is within easy walking distance of village shops, the wonderful sandy beach and harbourside. Spacious 3/4 bedroomed accommodation, Thessaly is very well appointed to an excellent standard throughout. The setting was quiet and tranquil. The owners have gone the extra mile in providing furnishings and fittings that deliver a property that internally is comfortable, modern and very well equipped. Lots of games provided for children to occupy themselves. Secluded and private outside space which we discovered to be a real suntrap, enjoying a family bbq, which in April, was an unexpected bonus. Loved the only 1st floor bedroom which housed a comfortable 'super-king' bed with en-suite. Parking for up to 4 cars (we only had 2). Great walks in the area. Topped off by comprehensive information and communication about the property and amenities in the area from 'Wellies and Windbreaks', whose service was faultless. We have already booked for a return visit in August, which says it all.

Blissful week at Thessaly

truly wonderful break with the family. Thessaly is ideally located with a short walk to the beach. Amenities were perfect and particularly grateful for the outdoor furniture and fans. We were blessed with fantastic weather, so lazed in the garden when it was too hot to be at the beach. Wonderful location with plenty of great pubs. Recommend hiring e-bikes.
