Wonderful Festive Getaway

The house is well equipped and conveniently located for plenty of seaside dog walks. Huge driveway for at least 3 cars. Spacious rooms with so much attention to detail. The hosts kindly decorated for Christmas and left a kind welcoming gift for us. Everything you can think of for the perfect home from home stay has been well thought out! We appreciated the cosy extra blankets, luxury bedding, big bath, herbs & spices and games. It really is a brilliant place to stay.

Friends reunion by the sea

Lovely weekend with the girls. Well equipped property, very comfortable beds, great location for walks along the coast. Lots of railway memorabilia. As our stay was in October, it was pretty chilly at times especially downstairs but the heating was efficient and warmed up quickly. We gathered mostly upstairs as it was cosy with lots of natural light. Thank you for the delicious cake, a lovely touch. Thank you.

Fabulous accommodation and location

This has to be the best UK holiday accommodation I have stayed in. It is the most beautifully converted railway carriages into a charming and tasteful cottage. So close to the sea all you have to do is walk across the road. Very nice pub within walking distance. The hosts are so easy to deal with and the welcome treat was delicious. Will defo go again!

Lovely & Quirky

This is a really unusual property, made from railway carriages joined together with a large room in the middle and a beautiful living space upstairs. It is situated a few steps from the beach, you can see the sea from the upstairs window. It is clean and well equipped, and has a beautiful private garden. Loads of things to see nearby, or if you like walking there are several routes straight from the front door- no car needed!

The Perfect Getaway

Excellent property with sunny garden and plenty of living space. Perfectly positioned across the road from the beach and a dog walking green and just 10 minutes walk, passed a pond full of wildlife, you’ll find a great bakery, butchers and grocers. Pubs and High Street just 20 minutes walk. To top it all there was THE most amazing jam sponge cake waiting for us on arrival! Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely stay at this quirky house - everything we needed was there including tea coffee and milk and a yummy cake which was very welcoming when we arrived. Great to able to just walk over to the beach as it was so near and good location for Chichester and Bognor. The Piggery was nice for a lunch and the Broadway cafe in Selsey did a fantastic breakfast.
