We try and offer families a place where they can relax and enjoy without bringing too much stuff. Ask us for more details but we provide on request high chairs, travel cots, toys and games, a cool box for the beach, buckets and spades and a paddling pool in the garden.

Cornerstones is located in the heart of the village of Birdham. A peaceful location 10 minutes walk from Birdham Pool, 1 minute from the village cricket ground and Church.

Birdham is the perfect location to enjoy the beautiful Chichester harbour, Birdham Pool, West Wittering Beach, East Wittering and Bracklesham Beaches and Chichester Marina. The marina is popular not just with the 'boaties' and 'yachties' but with walkers and cyclists who call into the Boathouse Cafe which opens at 8am for breakfast through to dinner in the evening.

Take a lovely walk across the fields following the harbour to Itchenor and The Ship Inn which has an extensive menu, and during the colder months 2 cosy open fires, quiz nights and mulled wine. From mid May until the end of September daily, and April to October weekends and bank holidays, Andy the ferryman takes people, bikes and dogs over to Bosham on the ferry.

The beautiful sandy beaches of West Wittering are about a 10 minute drive or a 30 minute cycle ride away along the Salterns Way. The Salterns Way is a cycle route that stretches from the centre of Chichester to the sand dunes at East Head. We are very lucky that this cycle route passes right through the village which makes family cycle days easy and so much fun. We would highly recommend that you take advantage of the cycle routes to really make the most of your stay so either bring your bikes or hire them from our local cycle hire shop just around the corner.

Goodwood and all it has to offer is a 20 minute drive away at the foot of the Southdowns.
