Relaxing stay with family and friends, plenty of space. Appreciated the welcome gifts. Enjoyed croquet and badminton in the garden. Lovely walk to the marina where we had a drink at the boathouse.

Great family week away

Very impressed with the house and facilities. Range of bedroom sizes and layouts. Lovely bright and well stocked kitchen/diner. Lots of nice ‘extra’ touches, welcome pack, toys for children, paddling pool etc. Would highly recommend. (Please note there’s no hot tub at the property - it shows on vrbo as having one-wasn’t an issue for us but mentioning just in case).

Birthday celebration stay

A lovely place to stay for a family celebration weekend. The house was very comfortable and everyone felt at home. The accommodation was perfect for a group of 9 including children who loved the garden and the hut. They all enjoyed the air hockey, croquet and paddling pool. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The cheery message on the kitchen blackboard was very thoughtful and made us feel very welcome. A lovely quiet location not far from the beaches and harbour.

Perfect house for family break!

We spent Christmas at Cornerstones and it was absolutely perfect! We had 10 adults and were so impressed with the living space, the photos do not do it justice, plenty of space! The kitchen was well equipped with everything for Christmas. Lovely clean bedrooms and bathrooms. The tv/playroom outside was also a great addition. Location also great - we walked to Chichester Marina and Dell Quay, and had lovely beach walks along bracklesham and the Witterings. I can imagine it would also be a fab summer holiday house!

We booked this house for a two night stay for a 50th Wedding Anniversary, 10 of us, plus dogs. Three generations, aged from 10 years old to 86 years old and it was perfect for all of us. The house was well appointed, the kitchen was superbly stocked, and the house was spotless. The welcome hamper was a lovely touch and impressed everyone.

Excellent Christmas stay

Property was clean and tidy in a quiet location. Ideal for our first holiday away with young grandchildren. Eight adults, two toddlers and two large dogs in our party. Kitchen had capacity for us all at meal times. Warm and cosy against the storm raging outside. Beds comfortable but struggled to find chairs or sofas that gave good back support. Lots of thoughtful touches from the welcome pack to tree and decorations. Hosts responsive and provided helpful information. Highly recommended.

No wood supplied for stove as quoted in listing. House otherwise lovely. For the price would not expect to have to strip beds etc. very clean and warm. Could not open cupboard properly to use chest of drawers in down stairs right twin as tv on wall impeded this. Clock not working. All minor things that did not stop enjoyment of house.
