A MAGICAL COTTAGE

We had a wonderful stay at The Thatched Cottage. It is a beautiful cottage with a real homely feel. Everything was well designed and comfortable to accommodate all our family. The garden is very pretty and perfect to relax, play games and enjoy meals. The gate opens straight onto the beach and we also enjoyed swimming and walking the dog along to East Head. We all have very happy memories of our stay and we hope to book again for next year

80th Birthday celebration

Fairytale House in one of the best locations on the south coast direct access to beach with wonderful walks direct from the door to the glorious Sandy beach at East Head. All our family including Rustie, flora and Bumble our dogs loved it.

Perfect break in Wittering

We had a lovely week in April at the Thatched Cottage. The house is in prime location, right on the beach, and the garden is large, open and sheltered- perfect for games with the kids on the lawn. The cottage itself is spacious and charming - it feels like a real home from home, with genuine character and soul, unlike other rentals we have experienced elsewhere which can feel commercial and soulless. The kitchen was clean and well equipped with the basics you need for a week - plenty of dish soap, tea and coffee. We would love to return.
