Perfect Family Spot
The lovely little home by the river was exactly what my family needed for the weekend stay. Close to the railway station, shops & a short walk to the beach, park & promenade. The home had everything we needed! Thank you

Comfortable home in perfect location
The home was extremely comfortable and within walking distance to everything we needed. Overlooking the Arun river from the patio was wonderful. The beds were very comfortable and the house had all the kitchen items required for our 9 night stay. Our host Valerie was amazing as she responded to any questions we had immediately. The off road parking was also a great help. It was the first time my family had all been together in 13 years and the house was perfect.

All good!
Very happy with everything which was as described. Probably the most outstading feature was the riverside location - 10 minutes walk tp the town centre and/or seafront. The 5 minute walk to the pub/restaurant Arun View meant that we ate there most evenings.

Fabulous short break
Great communication before and after stay. The location was brilliant with plenty to see and do during our break. The house was very clean throughout. The best bit for us was watching the swans, turnstones and kingfisher from the bottom of the garden. We also managed to fit in some crabbing, great fun without going out Would definitely stay here again.

What a super house in the most wonderful setting!
My husband, two sons and my eldest son’s partner had a really wonderful long weekend in this super house! The location by the river is perfect- we could have sat on the patio all day watching the boats going by. It’s a very short, interesting walk to all the shops, cafes, restaurants that you could possibly need. The local people were very friendly and we chatted to neighbours. Our hosts were very helpful giving us lots of information about the area and help with travel suggestions- we were caught up in the train strikes and had to drive from Edinburgh. All in all a really relaxing and happy wee break- we would love to come back

Lovely house, lovely location, great stay
A lovely house in a great location with parking directly in front. Cosy, warm and comfortable and well equipped. Lovely views from the rear terrace, and very relaxing to sit and watch river life go by. The views from the lovely master bedroom are beautiful. An easy, flat walk along the river into town, which is perfect for those who aren't as fit as they used to be! Would definitely stay again. The only negative is the limited WIFI provision. We didn't attempt to use it as were nervous of the cost if we exceeded the data allowance. I think these days there an expectation of decent WIFI, as a lot of people need to stay connected even when on a holiday. Apart from that it was super, thank you

Lovely escape
A lovely home from home complete with stunning views of the River Arun. Close to shops and beach (we didn’t need to use our car at all). All amenities provided and an easy stay. Friendly neighbours, who are very helpful. The beds in the “kids’” rooms are memory foam mattresses and comfortable. The bed in the main bedroom could do with an upgrade. Visitors would benefit from more than the 1GB internet that is provided.

Beautiful setting
The property is situated directly on the bank of the river Arun and it was such a shame that we didn't have the weather to sit outside and enjoy the view. Very close to the shops and station. Delicious fish & chips from Freds.

About the host

Hosted by Barnaby Wilmott

Host profile image
We carefully chose our property as somewhere that we would like to stay. We enjoy walking and water sports so the location is ideal for us.

Our philosophy is to provide just that little bit more than our guests expect. Please call if you have any particular interests.




Why they chose this property

We love the area. It is close to where we live. It is fantastic being next to the river. There is always something to see whatever the weather.

It's great to be able to walk out to the local pubs and restaurants or even just to get a newspaper first thing in the morning.

What makes this property unique

We have all the home comforts we need and our favourite restaurant just 5 minutes walk away. We like to just sit and chill out by the river, enjoying a drink or a meal to suit the occasion.. We both enjoy watching the bridge gracefully slide open whenever big ships go up the river to unload.
