Wonderful Festive Getaway
The house is well equipped and conveniently located for plenty of seaside dog walks. Huge driveway for at least 3 cars. Spacious rooms with so much attention to detail. The hosts kindly decorated for Christmas and left a kind welcoming gift for us. Everything you can think of for the perfect home from home stay has been well thought out! We appreciated the cosy extra blankets, luxury bedding, big bath, herbs & spices and games. It really is a brilliant place to stay.

Fabulous accommodation and location
This has to be the best UK holiday accommodation I have stayed in. It is the most beautifully converted railway carriages into a charming and tasteful cottage. So close to the sea all you have to do is walk across the road. Very nice pub within walking distance. The hosts are so easy to deal with and the welcome treat was delicious. Will defo go again!

Lovely property, particularly enjoyed the well kept garden and the sea view. Although it is a very peaceful and beautiful area, it is a little too quiet for us - for a whole week. Would definitely return for a short break.

Mum and daughters weekend
Lovely stay at this quirky house - everything we needed was there including tea coffee and milk and a yummy cake which was very welcoming when we arrived. Great to able to just walk over to the beach as it was so near and good location for Chichester and Bognor. The Piggery was nice for a lunch and the Broadway cafe in Selsey did a fantastic breakfast.

Friends reunion by the sea
Lovely weekend with the girls. Well equipped property, very comfortable beds, great location for walks along the coast. Lots of railway memorabilia. As our stay was in October, it was pretty chilly at times especially downstairs but the heating was efficient and warmed up quickly. We gathered mostly upstairs as it was cosy with lots of natural light. Thank you for the delicious cake, a lovely touch. Thank you.

I haven’t felt so relaxed in a very long time. The Seagulls is quirky but fabulous. If you want to get away from everything, for some peace and quiet, this is the place to go, we all had a wonderful time. Thank you both
