The property was perfect and exactly as specified, the spaciousness of the property was better than expected, the gardens front and back a delight and so well maintained. It was home from home and so quiet.

Beautiful property with a gorgeous garden and wood burning stove. Tranquil surroundings but walkable to fishbourne Roman palace. Noticed a couple of clothes moths but to be expected in an old cottage like this. As four adults only two of whom are a couple, we often struggle to find affordable accommodation. The setup of the double room and separated single day bed upstairs and double downstairs made this perfect for our weekend getaway. I enjoyed cooking in the cute kitchen with its innovative pan hanger! A short drive to the beach at West Wittering and several farm shops in the vicinity. Also recommend the RSPB reserve at Pagham Harbour
