A beautiful family-friendly seaside cottage with it’s own separate Victorian Wash House and two good sized gardens, giving families added space to relax and play. The main cottage sleeps four, with one King size room, one twin room (which can be turned into a double upon request), and a fully fitted bathroom upstairs, and a contemporary kitchen and open-plan dining and living space downstairs. Unique to this cottage, is it’s recently converted private victorian wash house with King size double bedroom with French doors out onto a large landscaped garden, a further living room or playroom for children, shower room and mini kitchen.Two large back gardens both with dining tables provide the perfect set up for alfresco meals while a third pretty garden at the front of the cottage offers more space to catch the sun.

This cottage is perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach and only a short walk from West Wittering's Blue Flag beach. It combines tasteful interiors and historic charm to create a welcoming coastal retreat.

Reached via a private lane, the old coastguard cottage is on the creek, offering up views over the wetlands, a popular crabbing pool, and secluded spots to watch the sun set over the harbour, a protected area of outstanding natural beauty.

A harbour path leads to West Wittering’s expansive sandy beaches and dunes and the viewpoint at East Head. The cottage comes with two kayaks, single and double, and West Wittering boasts a centre for surfing, paddle-boarding, and a modern beach cafe, and windsurfing and horse riding lessons are available.

A short walk leads to an excellent village pub, butchers, general store, and cafe, while neighbouring East Wittering has a fishmonger, supermarkets and a range of independent shops.

A scenic coastal footpath leads from the cottage to Itchenor, and Chichester, a 20-minute drive away, is home to Chichester Cathedral and Pallant House Gallery.

A parking permit is available for one car in the lane (space permitting) alternative parking is available in the village

This is obviously a well loved holiday home. The wash house annex and extra gardens were ideal for someone with mobility issues[ a couple of small steps in a few areas]. We loved our stay and how close we were to West Wittering beach.
We reported a minor maintenance issue and someone came round to sort it out on the same day.

The cottage and wash house is an ideal property for extended family groups. It had everything we needed and the beds were very comfortable. The 3 garden areas extended the property's versatility and a short walk takes you to the crab pool and East Head.

The one car only restriction would cause problems in high season, but was not an issue for us.

We would definitely stay again out of season.

My family and I had a wonderful off peak stay at 5 Coastguard Cottage with the annex providing a little extra space for spreading out. The location is perfect for winter walks, spotting bird life and, for the brave, swimming! As always Baileys provided excellent customer service and responded quickly to any queries.

Thank you for leaving a review of 5 Coastguard Cottage and The Wash House. It is indeed a lovely cottage and "annexe" in the most perfect location. We are so glad you and the family enjoyed your stay and we do hope to see you again next year. Baileys
