🏡 The Cottage
Built in 1885, Flint Cottage blends period character with modern comforts. Just three minutes’ walk from Littlehampton’s sandy, award-winning beach, it’s a welcoming base for families, friends, or business travellers.
🌊 Location
Littlehampton is one of the sunniest seaside towns in the UK. The beach stretches half a kilometre at low tide, and the town centre is a five-minute walk from shops and restaurants. The South Downs National Park is a short drive away, offering countryside walks and the chance to spot ponies.
🛏 Bedrooms
The cottage sleeps up to five across two rooms. The master has a double bed, ensuite shower, desk, and blackout curtains. The second bedroom has a bunk bed with a double below and single above, plus a desk and blackout curtains.
🛋 Living Space
The lounge has two sofas (one converts to a double bed), blackout curtains, a large OLED TV with Google TV, PlayStation, and board games. Fast fibre Wi-Fi runs throughout the house.
🍽 Kitchen & Dining
The spacious kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, cookware, and utensils. There’s also a washing machine for longer stays. A pull-out dining table with chairs for five makes it easy for families and friends to eat together. Complimentary tea, coffee, cereal, and milk are provided for your first breakfast.
🌸 Courtyard Garden
Outside, enjoy Tess’s handmade mosaic table among her favourite plants. A sunny spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, or a barbecue.
🚉 Getting Around
Littlehampton station (13 mins’ walk) has direct trains to Brighton, Chichester, and London. Local taxis are easy to book, and Arrow Taxis has a handy app.
⚠️ Things to Note
🚶 Steep Stairs
The cottage dates back to 1885, and the stairs are steeper than in modern houses. This may not suit anyone with mobility issues.
🚿 Bathrooms
There is one ensuite shower room in the master bedroom and a small WC downstairs. Groups will need to be comfortable sharing.
🚗 Parking
Free on-street parking is usually available nearby. On very busy days such as bank holidays, we’ll try to move one of our cars so you can take our spot.
👩⚕️ Your Hosts
We’re NHS doctors living next door. You’ll have full privacy, but we’re nearby if needed. We’ve hosted for four years and love sharing our cottage with guests while learning from our own travels.
