Spacious Country Three Bed Apartment
I had an absolutely fantastic experience during my stay! The flat was fully equipped with all the essentials and was in impeccable condition. Rebekah is a great host, made everything effortless; she was incredibly helpful and always quick to respond whenever I had a question. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone seeking a stay in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Coastal getaway on private road
We stayed 23rd December 2024 - 27th December. It was the first time any of us had been away for Christmas and we all agreed we had the most amazing time! The house was amazing. Beautifully decorated and clean throughout. There was so much space, with the 7 humans and 3 dogs it never felt small or cramped. The beds were comfortable, great family bathroom (plus ensuite and downstairs toilet so no queues or arguments for needing the loo!) It was decorated for Christmas beautifully. A 5-10 minute walk to the beach and lots of local shops and bigger supermarkets a short drive away. Thank you for an amazing stay! We dont have any negatives but a few feedback suggestions - - a hoover to use - a welcome pack with wifi details and parking details so not to interfere with annexe guests (this is online but i found it hard to find and would be easier to have a document in the house) - bigger towels - more serving bowls/dishes - oven gloves Would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you!

Oakley
All good, itâs a lovely place and spotlessly clean. Had everything we needed. Only thing missing was a bread knife or any knife that want blunt! But thatâs hardly a deal breaker and weâd happily stay again.

Home away from home
fantastic stay with Bethany, we rented the place for some of our team that travelled overseas. checked the place out, and popped in on the guys, was a beautiful town house just at the start of the Hanover area, lovely bare brick walls, beautiful stairs, very well maintained and cleaned. in terms of a host, responded really well, very helpful and nice to talk to. five starts from us!

Super House with Large Pool. 5 min to W. Wittering
We had a great family break at Lance's. So convenient to get to the beaches in the area and having a pool on site made the lazy days fun. Lance was very helpful and responsive when we needed him. We had everything we needed for our stay. A great staycation!

Large Sussex Country House with Pool
Our 3 generation family, aged 15 - 78, spent a fantastic week here. The cottage is well equipped and had all that we needed to, mainly, self cater. We enjoyed eggs (including 2 with double yolks) from the 4 chickens, apples and garden produce, pizzas in the Ooni, paella on the outdoor paella cooker and barbecues. We loved feeding the rabbit and fish, playing in the pool and spent some evenings around the outdoor fire pit. We celebrated a special birthday with a take-away from Cowfold Cottage Tandoori, which we recommend. We visited Worthing, about half an hour away, for a day at the seaside. Many thanks to Crispin for the use of his lovely house.

House in great location - Seaside
Michaela was really helpful in all communication and nothing was to much trouble. We were down for a wedding and with Michaela help everything was so smooth. Provided bucket and spade for granddaughter to take to the beach. Kept in touch on our way down and sent photos and directions for easy access. Once inside we had everything we needed and really helpful with a later check out after a late night. Would recommend and if down in the area again would definitely stay.
Your guide to West Sussex
Welcome to West Sussex
Succumb to the serenity and glorious scenery of this gorgeous corner of England. A slightly more sedate version of its racier East Sussex neighbour, West Sussex features South Downs National Park, with acres of beautiful countryside, plus the traditional seaside towns of Worthing and Littlehampton and the cathedral city of Chichester. The whole area is teeming with historical gems, including Roman ruins at Bignor, the fairytale spires of Arundel Castle, and the ruined Tudor mansions at Cowdray. Art lovers can indulge in the annual Chichester Festival or the theatrical and musical delights on display at the Ropetackle Arts Centre near Shoreham-by-Sea. But if itâs restful ambling that youâre craving, you can choose between the wide green spaces of the South Downs (if youâre feeling ambitious you can walk the 100-mile route of the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne) or saunter along the seafront at Bognor Regis, with optional candy floss in hand.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in West Sussex
The summer months see sunseekers and families gathering along the West Sussex coast and at attractions such as Arundel Castle, so if you prefer a quieter experience, aim to stay in one of the areaâs holiday cottages in June or September, which offer warm weather and less bustle. The South Downs is a magical place to be throughout the year but spring and autumn see them at their best. Chichester holds a month-long arts festival in mid-June featuring music, theatre, comedy, and film. Arundel festival sees street entertainers take over the medieval town every August. The town of Worthing hosts a renowned arts trail every June and July involving more than 300 artists across 50 venues. And many of the historical homes and attractions push the boat out every Christmas, with Arundel festooned with candles, an extensive festive market at Horsham, and masses of seasonal fun at Amberley Museum.
Top things to do in West Sussex
Arundel Castle
Nestling on the edge of the South Downs and looming over the landscape like some gothic Goliath is Arundel Castle. The oldest parts of this remarkable structure date back to 1068 and there are incredible coast-to-coast views from the Keep, which has been expanded and rebuilt over the years, as well as an astounding collection of period items and wonderful gardens to explore. The town of Arundel, with its museum and cathedral, is definitely worth a visit while youâre here.
The Longest Bench
If nothing cheers you more than the sight of a bench after a long walk, then you are going to love this. The longest bench in Britain, possibly the world, is situated on the promenade at Littlehampton. It can seat more than 300 people, with each slat of reclaimed wood dedicated to a person or cause. But itâs not all bench here. Littlehampton is a splendid coastal resort to spend time in, and a bracing walk along the seafront is bound to raise your spirits.
Fishbourne Roman Palace & Gardens
Dive into the largest residential Roman building in the United Kingdom, featuring stunning mosaic floors and the earliest formal gardens found anywhere in the country. First occupied by the Romans as a military base around AD 43, Fishbourne Roman Palace is remarkably well preserved and you can watch the conservators at work on the site. As well as guided tours and exhibits, the palace hosts a full scale Roman re-enactment event every August.
