Stunning

The Boat House is a stunning building in a lovely location. The property is well laid out, takes advantage of the views and has everything you need. The bottle of prosecco and lemon drizzle cake were a nice touch too. Lots of nice walks nearby and a good pub just a 15 minute walk away.

A wonderful stay

The Boathouse was beautiful, amazing location and so calm and peaceful. We had a couple of issues but these were swiftly sorted out by Laura the house manager. Kitchen was well appointed and plenty of storage thought out the house. Our visit coincided with one of the heatwaves, sadly the house wasn’t buttoned down on arrival, blinds and curtains open which meant it was stifling inside, unfortunately this made the first night very challenging. Definitely something to consider for future lets to keep it as cool as possible, the rest of the time was fine but there is a lot of glazing so appreciate it’s not that easy. Would certainly visit again

Delightful property in charming location

We had a lovely few days at The Boat House. Interesting, well converted property that was well equipped with beautiful views across the fields (deer occasionally wandered through). Very quiet and peaceful in the charming village of Itchenor -ideal for coastal walks locally or to other interesting places -The Witterings, Chichester etc. Buddy, our cockapoo enjoyed his stay too! Would definitely stay again

A paradise

This is by far one of the best houses I stayed (and I do travel quite a lot!!). Not only is comfortable and built to the highest standard, it’s located in an idyllic spot in Sussex where you can explore the area. We will come back soon!

Relaxing stay in unique house

We thoroughly enjoyed a week in the Boat House. It’s a unique house with everything you might need. The location was ideal for walking to the coast path and enjoying the local area. We were lucky to have beautiful weather so enjoyed the veranda view and all the daylight through the big windows. We were very relaxed after a week there.

The Boat House, Itchenor

We loved our stay in the boat house, a beautiful place to stay, to celebrate a birthday and anniversary. It was located in a lovely setting, a short distance from Chichester natural Harbour. We were spoiled for choice on where to go and explore, in-fact we had a week exploring the area, and we could have stayed longer. Laura was very helpful, when we needed to ask about something, and it was soon sorted. If you are looking for a beautiful property to kick back and relax in, this is it. We will definitely return.

Perfect weekend getaway

My husband and I had a wonderful short break with our dog in this beautiful property. Spacious, light and well-equipped. Stunning bathroom, great kitchen and the wood burner and underfloor heating meant we were warm and cosy on a frosty weekend. Within easy reach of beautiful West Wittering beach, Chichester and the fabulous Runcton Farm Shop. Laura was very helpful, especially when we encountered problems with the boiler and she ensured it was rectified promptly. Thank you.

A beautiful place for a holiday

The Boat House is a beautiful, well equipped holiday destination. The accommodation for two and ideal for a dog with its secure garden makes it perfect for a holiday. The areas is lovely with many long ideal walks with your dog along the coastline between the Witterings and beyond with much to see and ideal places to stop for meals and drinks. Pubs and tea rooms are of an abundance which we frequented many during our short 1 week stay at the Boat House. The House is of a very high standards and tastefully equipped for all seasons. Easy access by road and set in beautiful countryside with deer roaming in the field to the rear. Log fires in the evening if required but the house was pleasantly heated throughout with a bathroom/bedroom/balcony/kitchen that you would wish to take home with you. Many thanks for our stay and hope to see you again very soon.

The property is located in a very affluent area. Totally peaceful and quiet. The furniture and fittings are first class and in particular the enormous bed is extremely comfortable. There is everything you could possibly want available to you. In particular the freestanding bath gives you views of the field with roaming deer present on most days. I would however like to raise two negative points (which I must emphasise only affected myself). The settees and chair although extremely expensive I felt being a person of a certain height they were a little uncomfortable with no back rest. Also, if you are susceptible to midges, I would suggest you bring with you insect repellent as this particular time of year they were a load of biting Insects about.

8/10 Good

Reviews are just opinions, but I’m always 100% honest, otherwise what’s the point.

Pluses: Very comfortable large bed Lovely bath, with a peaceful green view. Good hot water with good pressure Comfortable sofas Quiet position Warm Nice walks straight from the house via good signposted routes ( salters way on your doorstep) Two ( maybe 3 ) pubs within walking distance Good, safe parking I would recommend this property for its peace and inside comfort, and nice walks, despite my minuses, as like I say I’m always 100% honest and opinions are everyone’s own, some are more fussy than others, and it also depends where and how you live yourself. Minuses For us this was huge…. No comfortable outside seating ( 2 very uncomfortable wooden chairs and a sleeper bench) who doesn’t want to sit outside if you’re blessed with good weather and long evenings?Plenty of room to store a couple so don’t really get it. Fridge door has a mind of its own and creeps open, needs a new seal I think. No shops at all in Itchenor that we could find anyway, so make sure you take the essentials ( we always do as most do I think, but worth a mention) Sadly felt the house was ‘ cleanish’ , the stairs need a steam clean, difficult material to clean properly but they look filthy which makes you look elsewhere, and when we shook the sofa throws before we left it was a lot more than a weeks worth of dust that came out. No sign of the owners guess they were having their own holiday.

The Boat House

A truly delightful accommodation, well-equipped & most comfortable. Great location for access to Chichester Harbour. That we wish to book for a third consecutive year illustrates how highly we enjoyed staying here.
