Lovely spacious house for six adults and a toddler. Safe enclosed garden for toddler and dog, plenty of off-road parking. Very well-equipped, comfy beds. Couple of minutes walk to beach and shops. Highly recommended.
Very nice accommodation. We felt very comfortable. Everything was exactly as described. Excellent communication - quick, friendly, and helpful. The surrounding area offers plenty of activities and opportunities for families with children. Everything was great. Highly recommended.
Lumiere is a wonderful property- we have stayed 3 times and will continue to book annually. We cannot fault anything. Perfect location with everything you need for a great holiday.
The property was lovely and very spacious for 6 people. It was very clean and had everything we needed including good parking. The location was excellent as it was very close to the beach, town and restaurants.Hopefully we will return!
This is the perfect house to explore the Witterings. It was claen, had plenty of room and a wonderful garden for relaxing in. Perfect for our family trip.
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!!
Amazing house, we loved it, had everything you needed, superb location too. The welcome was a lovely touch and the hosts were amazing with information as well. Thank you
This was a great property to stay for our New year family get tomorrow. Being just a couple of minutes walk from the beach we could enjoy bracing walks & lots of fun with the kids.The property is well equipped & the owners were quick to respond when we had a query.
