NEW for the 2024 season - Ocean Cottage, Ferring.
This 100 year old cottage was one of Ferring's original properties and still has the charm and quirks that go with its age, along with added modern conveniences like an EV charger, dishwasher and wifi - and it's own little bar.

On the ground floor is a porch, living room, dining / sun room, kitchen and 2 bedrooms - a twin room and a kingsize with shower room and separate WC washroom.

The detached garage has been converted into a rustic bar and the cottage has a large West facing rear garden with patios, BBQ and plenty of seating.
Driveway parking for 2/3 cars with a type 2 untethered 7kw EV charger (additional charges apply).
Ocean Cottage is available from mid April 2024 as it will be undergoing redecoration and furnishing ready for guests prior to that. As more rooms are completed, more photos will be added to the listing.
