About this property

Lumiere - West Wittering

The heart of the home is the bright, open-plan kitchen and living space, where white-washed wood and French furniture create a chic, welcoming atmosphere. A large dining table makes mealtimes a pleasure, while the living area with log burner is perfect for Winter evenings. Doors open directly onto the south-facing garden with plenty of furniture, plus a wonderful Summer House, perfect for sunny days and al-fresco evening drinks.

The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed holiday cooking, featuring a large central island, an Aga, gas ring burner, dishwasher, coffee pod machine, SMEG fridge/freezer and appliances, and plenty of workspace. A separate utility room adds extra convenience with a washing machine, additional fridge, tabletop oven, microwave and a wide range of cooking equipment.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a true retreat with a king sized antique French bed and doors opening onto a Juliette balcony. This room includes a freestanding rolltop bath for long, indulgent soaks, along with a separate shower room with w/c. There is also a desk - ideal if you need to work while away.

On the ground floor, two further bedrooms provide flexible accommodation: one king-size bedroom and one further bedroom that can be arranged as either a twin or super king. A dedicated children’s Snug TV room offers a cosy space for younger guests to unwind, while a stylish family bathroom with shower over bath serves the ground floor.

A beautiful garden and the house has the potential of being absolutely fabulous. Sadly, the basic maintenance let it down for us (broken blinds, no bulb in the light on the desk in the bedroom nor in one of the bedrooms, the BBQ was completely rusty and in our opinion unusable).Overall, a great location, near to many amenities and the beach.

We are so pleased your enjoyed your stay Brenda, thank you for your review. We were not aware the internal door blinds were broken until several days into your stay when you kindly called to let us know, we did offer to come and have a look but you did not want us to attend as there was also a working blackout blind, if we had known about the light bulbs we could have popped some new ones over to you. We have since had a look at the blinds and have arranged a local company to fix the broken part. We inspect the BBQs before each guest stay, the BBQ was cleaned and a new wire brush was provided but thank you for your feedback on this as we will take a closer look and speak with the owner.

The property was loved very much by our two small dogs. The garden was perfect and not overlooked and, of course, dog friendly. We could easily walk to West Wittering along the beach. There were many dog friendly pubs on the doorstep. We shall definitely book this property again and hope the next time we don’t manage to lock ourselves out!!
