An excellent home from home!

We had a fabulous stay at this house - communication with the host was excellent and they went above and beyond to accommodate our requests & ensure we had everything we needed. The house itself is excellent - gorgeous decorations, for us the highlights were the beautiful south facing garden and the open plan living/cooking/dining space which opened onto it - excellent for families with children. The kitchen was really well equipped for preparing big family meals! Would highly recommend.

Conveniently located just 2 minutes walk from the beach and 2 minutes walk from shops, cafes and restaurants. The beach is a long pebble beach where we were able to walk with our dog on the lead in August. There are several places to eat and a pub. Worth double checking opening times of some eating places as a lot seemed to be closed/closing by about 8:30pm. Lots of lovely places to visit within a hour. We had a walk from Chichester Harbour stopping at The Crown & Anchor for a drink, an afternoon in Chichester bumbling around the shops and cathedral grounds and an afternoon in Petworth. The house itself is a great size with a nice big kitchen and dining area and an enclosed garden with patio furniture for al fresco breakfasts! The main bedroom is massive and the bed was comfy. The house has off road parking for two big cars (I would estimate). We have a large 7 seater and there was lots of room. My only two slightly negative comments would be that the sofa in the TV room is actually a single bed so it wasn’t very comfortable for us to sit and watch tv as a family in the evening and the kitchen stuff (mugs, kettle, plates, bins, etc) seems to be divided across the kitchen and utility room so it was a bit of an odd set up for making drinks/meals. For example plates and fridge in the kitchen but toaster in the utility room. However, neither of these things was an issue for us for a 4 day stay and it was such a lovely house in a lovely location that we would definitely return.
