Beautiful Harbors Listed Coastguard Cottage, Snowhill, Westwittering

Beautiful Grade 2 listed cottage 200 metres from the sheltered tidal Snowhill Creek at the entrance of Chichester Harbour. With the Sailing Club opposite, and a short walk to the to the famous West Wittering beach, Windsurfing Club, bird reserves and the National Trust sand dunes of East Head.

The cottage is part of a row of former Coastguard Cottages, built around 1833, with small garden to the front and a small yard to the rear. Three bedrooms comprised of double bed, two singles and smaller ground floor bedroom with bunk bed. Cottage is small and compact and perfectly formed! It is cozier than the photos indicate!

Temporary sailing club membership might be available and would require contacting the Sailing Club secretary via their web site. In addition, we have contacts with many of the local sailing instructors. Sailing is possible two to three hours either side of high tide.

Cosy cottage

Very cosy and welcoming cottage in a very quiet location. A small but well equipped kitchen. We slept like logs in the comfy beds after a lovely hot shower and fluffy towels. Definitely a home from home.

Cosy New Year break

Four nights arranged around a wedding. Lovely location with great coastal walks. Dog heaven. Great little cottage well equipped and comfortable beds. Internet is v slow but probably inevitable being at “end of the line”. TV kept needing to buffer so take books!

Long weekend at West Wittering

We love West Wittering beach and have been trying to find a holiday accommodation to which we can keep going back for ages and I think we finally found it! As we never leave our dog behind when we travel it needed to be a dog friendly and with good walks/beach close by. Our stay delivered on all the fronts. The cottage was beautiful and clean, bedroom had a comfortable bed, kitchen was compact but very well equipped. Perfect little front garden where we sat and soaked all the sunshine. Plenty of walks right on your doorstep, beautiful beach sunsets every evening (we were very lucky with the weather). We already booked our next stay and can't wait to be back!

Comfort in an incredible location

Super rental, pure and simple. Freshly painted throughout and with really comfy beds and spotless bedding (how are the duvet covers so creaseless?), it's a complete getaway and on the doorstep some incredibly beautiful walks. A lot of care and attention has been given to supplying a warm welcome for a self sufficient stay. Games, books, Netflix, DVD player etc. I don't think it needs selling but the photos on the site don't really do it justice. It was a lot more roomy and solid than we had imagined and although the kitchen is well used and compact, I've never seen so much provision made for catering ... it was an absolute treasure trove and kitted out by an enthusiastic cook. Nice little secure garden for the dog but we had to heave him out the door for that bedtime visit as the daily walks were varied and so enjoyable despite pretty ghastly weather and we wore him out! We loved it thank you.

A lovely bolt hole

We had a wonderful stay at the Coastguards. We’re regular visitors of west wittering and the location is perfect for exploring the beach and local area. A very comfortable and functional place for the family. We would have loved a bbq! The kitchen was a little dated but we spent little time in the cottage as we were out and about enjoying crabbing, beach walks, the local pub and Chichester. Thank you!

A perfect hideaway…

We absolutely loved our little cottage … a perfect place for a time away from the hubbub. Quiet & peaceful - with breakfast, lunch & aperitivi in the sheltered little front garden. Cottage well equipped for everything… cooking, relaxing - and a fabulous location.
