We stayed for 3 nights. The hosts made us very welcome and were informative (about places to visit etc) They were great. The apartment was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and with all the facilities and equipment you could need for a short stay....

Property was exceptionally clean and more spacious than we were expecting. Location was great for exploring the coast and nearby Chichester. Hosts Karen and Paddy were very friendly and were pleased to chat about their extensive local knowledge.

This was the perfect little find and ideal for what we needed. Thoughtfully designed, modern, very tastefully decorated, really comfortable with quality touches... a proper coffee machine, nice selection of teas. Even the tissues were super soft...

No breakfast was provided, we knew this before booking. The location was lovely, within easy reach of Chichester, the beaches at the Witterings, Pagham and Selsey.
