Sometimes you book a property and it falls a little short of the pictures once you get there - this was not the case at Bell Lodge. It was larger than expected, really cosy, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Everything was clean, fresh, well presented and all room sizes were good. The welcome basket was hugely appreciated and communication was prompt, courteous and helpful before, during and after.
Whilst the road doesn't lend itself to walking due to lack of verges, a good pub/restaurant and convenience shop are a very short drive away and an indian restaurant/take-away just a little further. We made use of all of these. Plus walked the beaches of West and East Wittering and the Marina, each reached by car in just a few minutes. We also visited Chichester one afternoon, enjoyed an evening meal at The Ivy, and took the teenagers go-karting in Gosport.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here over New Year, despite the rain lashing down on us on several occasions and it just made it all the more lovely to return after each walk or outing. There were 12 in our party, 6 adults and 6 teens, making this house ample-sized for us with left over space to escape a snorer if need be!
There are several different versions of floor plans online, some of which are older diagrams still viewable on other sites; but if you view the one on VRBO via a laptop, it accurately shows the location of the 6 doubles, 2 singles, two family bathrooms, two ensuites and cloakroom.
