Berry Barn Cottage is a gorgeous country home. It's an ideal location for sought-after West Wittering beach which is an easy 10 minute stroll away. The property is deliciously styled for comfort with its modern aspects discreetly merging with traditional.

The lovely sitting room is the ground floor centrepiece with a modern exposed beam ceiling and full length glass windows letting light stream in from the garden. The windows can be fully retracted as doors to bring the outside in on warmer days. This bright and airy room is so beguiling it will be difficult to decide whether to stay home or explore.

Three of the four large bedrooms have ensuite facilities. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor and one bedroom has direct access to the patio and garden beyond.

The large enclosed garden is a delight with a meandering path and established shrubs and trees. It has bulb flowering beds for springtime, and an open shallow pond. The paved patio has weathered wooden furniture for al fresco meals and relaxing on clement days and evenings. The garden is secure for pets to roam. The trampoline has been removed for safety purposes.

Sleeps 8.
No smoking.

We enjoyed a very happy and relaxing stay at Berry Barn Cottage. The location allows easy access to the beach, for morning runs and lovely dog walks.
It was our second stay at the cottage and hopefully it won’t our last, as we always leave feeling rejuvenated!
An exceptionally comfortable place just to chill out and be with family and friends.

The pictures of Berry Barn Cottage do not show the true beauty of this property. The living room is stunning and was great to watch the garden, stars and changing weather, in total privacy from passing traffic and walkers. Ideal for nervous/reactive dogs who can sit and relax in the private enclosed garden. Even in winter the garden is well presented. We were initially unsure about the property being on the bend of a B road through the village but this wasn’t an issue. The walk to the beach ideal for the whole family, or a 2 minute drive to the main beach area. Opening the living room bi-fold doors in warmer weathers would be a beautiful way to merge the inside and outside seating areas.
The cottage kitchen was very well equipped, and gives multiple options for mealtimes. Although the village has limited facilities, a 3 minute trip to East Wittering has everything that you could need.
The downstairs king and upstairs double were very comfortable but the single beds were a little hard (and wobbly - upstairs). The wet room and main bedroom was ideal for those wanting luxury downstairs living, ideal for those with mobility issues.
The booking and comms with Baileys made our whole holiday experience at Berry Barn superb and we would definitely like to return.

A beautifully appointed cottage with plenty of room for 8 people. Lovely garden too. A short walk to the beach. The downstairs master bedroom and shower room suited us perfectly.
The weekend was extremely busy however and local residents said it is always like this at the weekends in the summer and there was barely room on the beach. On the Saturday and Sunday we could barely get out of the drive in our car because so many cars had parked along the verges along the main road.

Thank you for reviewing Berry Barn Cottage, the village does get extremely busy when the weather gets warm as West Wittering beach is regarded as one of the best beaches in the country. We do notice you have left value for money as 2 and cleanliness as 3, please do contact us with ways these can be improved as feedback is always greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Baileys

A spacious lovely property in an excellent location for wonderful beach walks. However unfortunately we did encounter several issues with the plumbing. On the first morning the water for showers was at best tepid, resulting on us having to switch on the emergency immersion heater, and only the shower on the ground floor was therefore bearable for 8 of us to use! The following morning the water was cold, and resulted in us having to call the out of hours plumber, who couldn't have been more helpful and charming given that it was Easter Sunday. My gripe is why didn't the housekeeping staff check that the hot water was working before we arrived? As we were told that the pressure on the boiler was at zero and I don't it could have suddenly dropped as we arrived? The downstairs Loo also managed to block with only the use of normal toilet paper, this we managed to unlock ourselves rather than having to call out the poor plumber again over the Easter weekend. We also noticed shortly before leaving that an outside drain outside the kitchen window had overflowed which was potentially could have been very unsanitary for our dog or if indeed there had been young children in the party.
I suspect overall that there are continuous issues with the plumbing which would explain the notices in all the Loos about what you cannot flush! I hope that these issues can be remedied as they do spoil an otherwise lovely property with a fantastic garden.

Thank you for the review. Before you arrived the property had some plumbing work which was to do with the underfloor heating. The cleaners do check the water as they use the taps and showers for rinsing things down and no issues were reported. Ruaridh our residential lettings manager attended the property on Easter Sunday as he has the emergency phone, he attended and found that it was an airlock in the system which was most likely circulating after the plumber drained down the system to carry out the works. when you handed back the keys we did ask if everything was alright, to which you didn't make an comments about the toilet or the drain, both of which we would've been happy to rectify because as you said, rather unsanitary. There is no lasting problems with the plumbing, the drainage in the area is sub-par and rather sensitive hence the notices with what to flush and what not to flush. we do hope this didn't detract from your stay, as it is a lovely property with much to offer. we hope to see you back again soon. best, Baileys

This is a very homely property which we visited some time ago and were pleased to use as a base to meet up again recently. Our stay was very relaxing and we were really pleased with the instant response from Baileys to attend to a small problem on arrival, thank you to Ruairi and Freddy too.

This is the first time we have rented this property although we have dealt with others in the past through Baileys. We were told we would love it and we did. The house and garden were lovely and dog friendly.

Our grandchildren, daughter and husband and our son and his wife thought the same, we were celebrating our daughter's 40th birthday.

It was a book lovers and musical haven with thousands of CDs and a great selection of books.

The weather was mixed but it didn't stop us all getting on the beach and some even taking a swim in the sea, the only thing that no one has control over. There was also a lot to do in the surrounding area if you wanted to leave the house.

Would certainly revisit.

Berry Barn Cottage is the perfect place for a family to stay to a relaxing coastal break.
The cottage owners have literally thought of everything you could need, however perhaps a decent grill for bacon sandwiches wouldn’t go amiss! Other than that I would struggle to suggest anything else that would have made the place a better retreat.
Garden super, we even had visits from a heron and a buzzard!!
Loads of games and child friendly extras too.
We will be back!

What can I say, what a wonderful property. I really can’t find fault, everything was lovely. It really felt like a home, comfortable and well thought out. Owning a holiday let myself this is the first place I’ve stayed in where attention to detail matched my own.
Location was wonderful with only a short walk to the stunning beach.
The only thing I would change is to have a larger TV, but maybe that says more about us. Plenty of books to read! Also felt Covid safe.

Berry Barn Cottage is a delightful place to stay. The old part of the cottage is charming and the new extension giving the wow factor, although this was my favourite room so comfortable with great views of the garden. The location was ideal a short walk down the lane and you are on the beach.The cottage is very well equipped.

The house is only for two adults as only the downstairs bedroom is suitable for adults. The upstairs is for children, the beds have very cheap mattresses and very basic bathrooms. They also have blinds that are completely pointless and let in all the light. The pillows are large puffs of sponge and everything was covered in plastic protectors which you wouldn’t want to sleep with. We went and bought our own.

The house has one nice room which is the sitting room with doors to the garden, the rest of the house is very dated and and as we were there in the summer you wouldn’t want to eat in the dark little dining room so we had to improvise in the sitting room.

The pond which is right next to the doors to the garden also attracts mosquitoes so we had to close the doors from late afternoon.

They need to spend some money to update the rest of the house to match the sitting room to make it a nice holiday rental.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of this property. I can confirm that there are definitely two double bedrooms in this property as shown on the floorplan on our website. One is on the ground floor and one on the first floor. We pride ourselves that we are a local office to all our holiday homes and our guests collect the keys from us on arrival and we ask that they check the property and report any issues back to us. We are then delighted to have an opportunity to put right any issues quickly. This is a very popular property and we are surprised by your comments but will be looking into them of course. We do hope to see you again on another occasion. BAILEYS

Our stay in Berry Barn Cottage was to celebrate my husband's 70th Birhday. Our whole family joined us and 2 family dogs. To say our stay was perfect was an understatement, from start to finish it was something we will remember forever, this cottage is an absolute joy. Everything is in place and thoughtfully provided, spotlessly clean and so welcoming, we will visit again soon.
