Great family house
The house is clean, very comfortable and very well kitted out. Kitchen includes essentials like salt, pepper, dish washing powder etc. The carpet on the stairs and upstairs is a little tired but that suited us - means we were less worried about kids damaging it ☺️. The house is on an estate and seems far from the beach but only a 3 minute drive/ 12 minute walk.

Rock Cottage Review
Lovely last minute break although a little disappointed no milk was provided as after a long journey it would have been nice to at least not have to go out straight away to get essentials. Stair carpet could do with replacing as a little worn and a hairdryer would have been useful (not something I pack when going away). Location ideal as you don’t need the car if exploring the area. A couple of comfortable garden chairs would have been nice aswell. Otherwise a really pleasant stay.

Thanks for your feedback! We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the great location. As our properties are self-catering, we don’t routinely provide milk, but we’ll definitely pass on your suggestion for future consideration. Hairdryers aren’t advertised for this property, but had we known you’d like one, we’d have been happy to try and arrange it. We appreciate your other comments too and will take them on board. Thanks again for staying with us!

A great house in a lovely location
We enjoyed being so closed to East Wittering beach and the village centre. The house was well kitted out with everything we needed and the kids loved the trampoline! The weather was very warm during our stay so a couple of fans would have made it more comfortable but we managed without. It was a shame the cleaner didn’t come prior to our arrival. The lady who came was very sweet and did her cleaning around us getting tired small children to bed. The house probably needs more than a 2 hour clean to be really set up for next guests though.
The convenience of the beaches and cafes and shops nearby made this a really easy holiday for us. Thanks!
