Chichester’s historic city centre is approximately 2 miles away and home to a magnificent cathedral, art galleries and shops. There is a wide variety of restaurants, bars and cafes.

A mile or so to the west is the pretty sailing village of Bosham, with a quay, cafes and waterside pub.

Head to The Witterings (20 minutes drive) for beaches, coastal walks, pubs and fish & chips by the sea!

Getting Around:
The wider area is best explored in a car. But there are regular buses to and from Chichester, as well as a train station in Fishbourne with direct routes to London and Portsmouth. You can also explore the local area on foot or bike, with Salterns Way on your doorstep.

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
