Had a fantastic weekend stay. Exceptionally clean the house , bedding ,towels etc , very spacious. Homely with all the things you need like home from home . Would love to come back in the summer.
We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better host. The accommodation truly felt like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully prepared — from the clear and simple instructions to the spotless, comfortable bedding. The host was incredibly responsive and quick to help with any questions, which made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay.
We had a lovely stay in this property in Birdham. All we needed - clean, plenty of space for us all, comfy beds and some great toys for the kids as a bonus. Thank you!
This is a fabulous house: a lovely space, very nicely maintained and with all of the facilities you could want. Arnie and Andrea were great hosts. We didn't meet, but communications were great: friendly, welcoming and clear, and they responded swiftly to our few enquiries. Thank you very much!
A group of middle aged women seeking to catch up with one another. This house was the perfect location and setting for that. Beds all very comfortable and good sizes - excellent equipped kitchen for entertaining and a great lounge for cozy evenings in front of the fire. Host very kindly allowed a slightly earlier check in and check out which helped enormously. Thank you x
Amazing house, more of a home from home - everything you could possibly need. Well equipped kitchen, great kids bits and pieces, attention to detail with all holiday requirements. Comfy beds. Excellent for our family holiday with young children. Lovely garden and close to amenities. Very attentive hosts.
Great property with plenty of communal space and a lovely sunny garden for all to enjoy.
Great location for walking to harbour and short drive to West Wittering Beach and into Chichester.
Beautiful property in a beautiful location. The hosts were very quick to respond to any questions. Would definitely recommend the property and area. Great pubs The Lamb Inn, The Ship Inn and the Crown and anchor.
A great holiday home for all the family.
It was exactly as described and communicating with the owners ensured our stay went smoothly. We couldn't have been happier.
I was celebrating a special birthday and we very much enjoyed our family weekend away at this lovely house. Everything was as we'd hoped it would be, beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. The accommodation for eight adults and two children worked extremely well.
Cornerstones was absolutely perfect for our group of ten. It’s so comfortable and spacious and immaculately clean. The hosts were extremely helpful and their lovely cottage is thoroughly recommended by all our party.
Had such a lovely trip with my parents and kids and family friends at this house. it was massive with so many amenities and flexibility as far as who sleeps where with cots and two pull out beds which made it very convenient for kids that kept changing their minds. beautiful grounds and lovely house! thank you so much for all the communication and stay!!
Cannot fault anything, beautiful home, lovely garden and facilities and the hosts are excellent, always available and helpful with advice on places to eat and walk. Fabulous location ! 100% would return
Spacious house, with a table large enough to seat 10 people! Immaculate condition. Conveniently situated on a quiet road, walking distance to marina. Short drive to the beach. Will definitely stay again
We had a wonderful time at this lovely house, we were 2 families having a perfect time. House was better than as described, very comfortable beds, with quality linen, couldn’t fault it at all, Andrea was easy to communicate with. Great experience.

About the host
Hosted by Andrea and Arnie
We just love being by the water. Arnie loves his boats and couldn't be more than a few minutes walk away from one of them. We love to drag our kayaks onto the harbour and go for an early morning paddle. We take our little dog Buddy with us and occasionally get to see a seal! We love cycling and where we live is perfect as we live on the Salterns Way. We have 7 children and 4 grandchildren between us and they have all been brought up in and around the water. We are real foodies! If you want to know where to eat or where to get a great coffee we are the people to ask. Walking is something we do a lot of. We love the coastal and harbour walks locally and when we get a chance we head to Cornwall or the Lake District, two of our favourite places.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. We wanted to live in the heart of this beautiful village and over the years have owned 5 properties here between us. We chose this particular property as it is light and bright and light is so important to us. All of the rooms are filled with sunshine on sunny days. There is lots of sky, trees, and peace.
What makes this property unique
Situated in the Harbourside village of Birdham that is within the Chichester Harbour AONB. The village is on the harbour and the house is a 10 minute walk along Court Barn Lane to Birdham Pool marina and another few minutes into the larger Chichester marina. The benefit of the location is it is quiet, has beautiful walks from the house to other harbour villages or the beach if you like to walk for a couple of hours which we do. Our house has space for 10 people, light bright kitchen diner and spacious yet cosy lounge with a wood burner. The garden is well maintained and is a good size for families and secure for children.
