Amazing property and wonderful hosts

The town of east preston is a hidden gem. The hosts provided more great recommendations than we could visit in our few days there. They are so friendly and communicative. The kids (6 & 4) loved the house as well. It was stocked with games, puzzles and books to keep them occupied on the rainy days. If we make it to the area again we would definitely stay there. I just wish I could transport this house to many of the other beach vacations we’ve taken.

Driftwood Corner Stay

Just spent a few days at Driftwood Corner in East Preston and had a lovely time. Fabulous house, very friendly helpful owners. We were lucky with the weather and were able to go out and do kayaking and crazy golf, visit Arundel and visits to the beach. Great location, really enjoyable trip.

A truly stunning home in a beautiful setting

My family, our friends and our dog had a fantastic stay at this charmingly decorated and well-located house. Aside from the brownies and flapjacks being a very welcome treat upon arrival, we were also very pleased to find that the house was well-equipped with all the necessities and more, very clean with everything finished to a high standard, and only a short walk from the beach and local shops and restaurants. Thank you Anna and Mark - your attention to detail had not gone unnoticed! We would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely stay

A lovely, well equipped house in an unspoilt corner of West Sussex. Overall very comfortable and Anna was a great host in terms of communication and leaving the coffee, tea etc and some treats in the house on arrival. The only thing we’d suggest is better curtains/ blinds in the bedrooms and a mix of pillows (some softer) to suit everyone’s tastes. We personally like dark bedrooms at night so did struggle with the light coming through in the morning when you want to have a bit more of a lie in on holiday!

Absolutely amazing place for the whole family, 3 generations

We had an amazing holiday at this property, the house was very clean, spacious and has a excellent vibe. Our party consisted of 5 adults, 2 children and a dog and found the house easily accommodated for all. It was furnished to a very high standard and has everything you would need and more. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs near byand the house is only a stone throw away from the beach, which was perfect for paddle boarding with the kids and for dog walks. The owners, Anna and Mark, were extremely helpful, nothing seemed to be a problem for them. We stayed for a week and would highly recommend to all.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Seager

I'm Anna, owner of Driftwood Haven and Driftwood Corner. Check out Driftwood Stays online for reviews, special offers and more details about our holiday cottages. My husband, Mark and I have lived in East Preston for over 16 years and bought our own family up here so we know the area very well. Feel free to ask any questions - if we can't help, we'll know someone who can!

Why they chose this property

East Preston is West Sussex's best kept secret! We stumbled upon this seaside village 17 years ago when we were walking along the beach from the Bluebird cafe in Ferring. We fell in love with it and knew we wanted our children to grow up here. The estate roads around us are very quiet and perfect for small children to enjoy their scooters and bikes on. The village has everything you need within walking distance - pubs/cafes/convenience shops & takeaways. It is also very well connected to the surrounding area via trains and road. Goodwood is 25 mins by car, Brighton is 45 by train or car, Chichester is 30 mins and Arundel is 10. Oh and of course the beach... right on your doorstep!

What makes this property unique

Driftwood Corner has been lovingly restored (by us!) to it's original 1920s character as much as possible. We have then used recycled materials from the beach and salvage yards to create a beach house vibe. It's a one off! You won't find another house like this in the area.
