About this property

Cottage by the sea - 10 minutes walk to beach

Our quaint, quirky cottage is opposite a tidal creek with a boatyard and sailing club at the end of the drive. It is situated down a private lane and has a public footpath on our doorstep which passes by My Lords Pond creek and takes you nearer to the beach. Hayling Island Sailing club is a 5 minutes drive or a short cycle ride away.
The cottage was built in the 19th century as a home for the workers of Haylings salt industry. It was once owned by the Cole family who originally ran the boatyard until the Wilson Brothers acquired the business.
Tounerbury Woods is on the other side of the creek (not accessible) which attracts many birds and wildlife.
Hayling Island is renowned for its water sports and there is kayak and paddle board hire locally. You may launch from the boatyard opposite when the tide is suitable. Just inform the boatyard office before launching.
There are many places of interest nearby including the historic naval base and Gunwharf quays.
There is a pitch and putt and a 9 hole golf course. Visitors with a valid handicap would best enjoy the 18 hole Hayling Golf Club.
There is a ferry over to Southsea which is great for cyclists. There is also a cycle route along the old railway track to Havant on the west side of Hayling. We can arrange storage at our cottage for bicycles if required.
Please note the bathroom is accessible via the bunk room.
Hayling Island is a lovely place to visit especially if you love the sea.

Heel fijn huis op goede locatie.

Wat kregen we een warm welkom, veel extraatjes zoals vers brood, muffins, fles wijn op het aanrecht. Brandschoon, opgemaakte bedden en ruim voldoende extra linnen en handdoeken. Zeker aan te raden!!!

Lovely spacious cottage in peaceful area

Had a family holiday for a week at 4 Selsmore cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed being in this wonderful family home. ! It was the fact that it offered 3 bedrooms which first attracted us and a garden. Very spacious rooms, beautifully appointed, positioned down a quiet lane, so no traffic noise. Loads of parking outside the cottage on the private drive. Lovely sunny garden with furniture, table and chairs etc. so we had breakfast outside every morning. Lovely touches in the house, like milk, bread, biscuits, juice on arrival. Great communication with the owner, so any problems are easily sorted. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage. We would love to return!

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Robinson

Amanda and Neil have owned the cottage for over 20 years. Neil has been involved in competitive sailing for a number of years and now kite foils from Hayling beach. Amanda has lived on Hayling for over 50 years and is very knowledgeable about the area. We have recently been travelling in our motorhome for the last 6 years mainly in Southern Spain. We are now living again on Hayling so Neil can enjoy his kite foiling.

Why they chose this property

The cottage has its own quaintness with many original features. The garden is a sun trap although there is a large parasol to shelter under if it becomes too hot.
