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

A weekend celebration stay

I was celebrating a special birthday and we very much enjoyed our family weekend away at this lovely house. Everything was as we'd hoped it would be, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The accommodation for eight adults and two children worked extremely well.

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.
