Enchanting Cottage - South Downs National Park

We love this tranquil rural location. It is near the coast and yet so close to Chichester, Portsmouth, Winchester, Petersfield and all the sporting and cultural activities that take place in this part of the country. There is masses to see and do for all tastes and times of the year! We are only an hour from London, so also ideal for a long weekend break.

You could spend a cosy winter weekend walking and curled up reading by the fire, or in the summer you could explore local beaches and watersports. You could play golf at one of half a dozen spectacular courses. There is fabulous scenery and walking on the South Downs Way. There are some of the most beautiful cycle routes on and off road right from our doorstep. You could bring your paints and find some stunning subject matter in the landscape, or you could go birdwatching in Pagham and Chichester Harbour. You could check out the local historical sites, or visit modern art galleries and sculpture parks or gardens in Chichester and Winchester.

There is so much to do locally, that it is impossible to list it all here. We have created a 'house book' which is full of ideas of places to go, and things to do.

There are lots of local pubs and restaurants too if you don't want to cook!
