Letās be honest - as a couple of pensioners we only used the ground floor and it was excellent! Well equipped, spotlessly clean with a superb ground floor bedroom with a walk-in en-suite shower, we slept like logs and enjoyed every minute. The two lounges were gorgeous and we enjoyed eating out at easily accessible restaurants particularly - in East Wittering, a short drive away - The Boulevard (Superb) and Drifters. The off-road parking and the lovely garden made it ideal and we truly enjoyed every minute of our seven night break. We didnāt risk the steep spiral stairs to the upper floor - thatās one for the youngsters - but we can imagine that the bedrooms up there must be lovely if theyāre on a par with the rest of the property.

Great location with the beach being so close by. Plenty of shops 5 minutes by car. Pretty garden with lots of seating. Things to see and do within a 20 minutes drive. The cottage was clean with plenty of facilities. The beds comfortable. Lots of hot water for showers. A decent bottle of wine and biscuits on arrival. Very nice. The cottage is quirky with narrow stairs to the upper rooms. However, there is a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. We loved it!
