We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better host. The accommodation truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully prepared — from the clear and simple instructions to the spotless, comfortable bedding. The host was incredibly responsive and quick to help with any questions, which made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.

A group of middle aged women seeking to catch up with one another. This house was the perfect location and setting for that. Beds all very comfortable and good sizes - excellent equipped kitchen for entertaining and a great lounge for cozy evenings in front of the fire. Host very kindly allowed a slightly earlier check in and check out which helped enormously. Thank you x

Perfect Family Holiday stay

Andrea and Arnie’s property is perfect for a large family holiday . The description listed is spot on. It is really spacious and comfortable. On arrivalIt was absolutely spotless and there was a basket of cakes, tea , ground coffee and milk , which was a lovely touch . There were plenty of toys to occupy our toddlers and a lovely garden with a paddling pool. The beds are comfortable and 2 cots and 2 high chairs were provided for the babies . The bathrooms are nice and clean and the showers are good, good quality towels are provided. The kitchen was very well equipped. Andrea and Arnie responded quickly to a message for restaurant recommendations. We couldn’t fault the property . We are a family of 10 and didn’t feel on top of each other. I would thoroughly recommend this property and would definitely return.

Perfect house for family get together.

The house is a large, well presented property with bedrooms on ground floor as well as on first floor. Lovely large,comfortable lounge. Kitchen is fantastic with everything you could possibly need with large dining area leading out into a big garden and patio area. There were 12 of us from 6 - 76 and it never felt overcrowded. Perfectly located close to Itchenor and the Witterings. We loved the welcome basket full of lovely cakes and decent coffee. Perfect place to celebrate a big birthday.

Perfect house for family break!

We spent Christmas at Cornerstones and it was absolutely perfect! We had 10 adults and were so impressed with the living space, the photos do not do it justice, plenty of space! The kitchen was well equipped with everything for Christmas. Lovely clean bedrooms and bathrooms. The tv/playroom outside was also a great addition. Location also great - we walked to Chichester Marina and Dell Quay, and had lovely beach walks along bracklesham and the Witterings. I can imagine it would also be a fab summer holiday house! Would definitely recommend

Great.

No wood supplied for stove as quoted in listing. House otherwise lovely. For the price would not expect to have to strip beds etc. very clean and warm. Could not open cupboard properly to use chest of drawers in down stairs right twin as tv on wall impeded this. Clock not working. All minor things that did not stop enjoyment of house.

Relaxing stay with family and friends, plenty of space. Appreciated the welcome gifts. Enjoyed croquet and badminton in the garden. Lovely walk to the marina where we had a drink at the boathouse. Also walked to the pub in Itchenor, lovely walk on a summer day. Thanks for having us stay in your house.

About the host

Hosted by Andrea and Arnie

Host profile image
We just love being by the water. Arnie loves his boats and couldn't be more than a few minutes walk away from one of them. We love to drag our kayaks onto the harbour and go for an early morning paddle. We take our little dog Buddy with us and occasionally get to see a seal! We love cycling and where we live is perfect as we live on the Salterns Way. We have 7 children and 4 grandchildren between us and they have all been brought up in and around the water. We are real foodies! If you want to know where to eat or where to get a great coffee we are the people to ask. Walking is something we do a lot of. We love the coastal and harbour walks locally and when we get a chance we head to Cornwall or the Lake District, two of our favourite places.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. We wanted to live in the heart of this beautiful village and over the years have owned 5 properties here between us. We chose this particular property as it is light and bright and light is so important to us. All of the rooms are filled with sunshine on sunny days. There is lots of sky, trees, and peace.

What makes this property unique

Situated in the Harbourside village of Birdham that is within the Chichester Harbour AONB.
The village is on the harbour and the house is a 10 minute walk along Court Barn Lane to Birdham Pool marina and another few minutes into the larger Chichester marina.
The benefit of the location is it is quiet, has beautiful walks from the house to other harbour villages or the beach if you like to walk for a couple of hours which we do.
Our house has space for 10 people, light bright kitchen diner and spacious yet cosy lounge with a wood burner.
The garden is well maintained and is a good size for families and secure for children.
