About this house rental

The first thing to do when you arrive at Cornerstones is to walk or cycle to Birdham Pool and then over the canal into the marina. Here you can grab a coffee at the coffee shop or a breakfast, lunch or dinner at the boathouse. Family gatherings, groups of friends, business travel and romantic breaks. Wittering beaches, Goodwood, Roman City, Sailing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Fishing, Boat trips, Birdwatching, Walking, Swimming, Horse and Goodwood Motor Racing, Horse Riding, Cycling, Restaurants, Bars and Cafes. Chichester and surrounding has so much to offer.

We try and offer families a place where they can relax and enjoy without bringing too much stuff. Ask us for more details but we provide on request high chairs, travel cots, toys and games, a cool box for the beach, buckets and spades and a paddling pool in the garden.

Cornerstones is located in the heart of the village of Birdham. A peaceful location 10 minutes walk from Birdham Pool, 1 minute from the village cricket ground and Church.

Birdham is the perfect location to enjoy the beautiful Chichester harbour, Birdham Pool, West Wittering Beach, East Wittering and Bracklesham Beaches and Chichester Marina. The marina is popular not just with the 'boaties' and 'yachties' but with walkers and cyclists who call into the Boathouse Cafe which opens at 8am for breakfast through to dinner in the evening.

Take a lovely walk across the fields following the harbour to Itchenor and The Ship Inn which has an extensive menu, and during the colder months 2 cosy open fires, quiz nights and mulled wine. From mid May until the end of September daily, and April to October weekends and bank holidays, Andy the ferryman takes people, bikes and dogs over to Bosham on the ferry.

The beautiful sandy beaches of West Wittering are about a 10 minute drive or a 30 minute cycle ride away along the Salterns Way. The Salterns Way is a cycle route that stretches from the centre of Chichester to the sand dunes at East Head. We are very lucky that this cycle route passes right through the village which makes family cycle days easy and so much fun. We would highly recommend that you take advantage of the cycle routes to really make the most of your stay so either bring your bikes or hire them from our local cycle hire shop just around the corner.

Goodwood and all it has to offer is a 20 minute drive away at the foot of the Southdowns.
About the property, Cornerstones is a 5 bedroom home with 2 large double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and 3 smaller double bedrooms, a bathroom and a 3rd toilet on the ground floor.

The dining area has a large farmhouse style kitchen table which can seat 10 people, there are also 2 high chairs available on request.

The kitchen overlooks the garden which has a large Webber BBQ and outdoor furniture and is perfect for relaxing in on hot summer days.
There is a chiminea for those chillier evenings and we provide bankets for cuddling up under maybe with a hot chocolate and some toasted marshmallows.

The house is gas centrally heated with a new boiler and a central thermostat. The lounge has a wood burner and we provide logs for guests during the winter. If you have wet clothes, life jackets etc, there is a large airing cupboard with a hanging rail perfect for drying. There is plenty of hot water.

The largest of our bedrooms has a kingsize bed and is big enough to fit in a day bed a put you up bed and travel cot. Bedroom 2 has a double bed and large enough to fit in a put u up bed or a travel cot. The other 3 bedroom are double in size and one has a double bed and the other two have 2 singles in each. All of the rooms have hanging space and hangers.
Both bathrooms have over the bath showers.
We are keen on making sure your stay is as comfortable and stress free as possible. For that reason we provide children's cutlery and plates, stair gates and 2 travel cots.

The two first floor bedrooms are large and able to accommodate the travel cots or trundle beds if you require them for extra guests.

The house is large, comfortable, and very clean. Although we were a large group, there was plenty of space so we didn't feel on top of each other. Andrea and Arnie put a lot of effort into helping us feel at home, and were quick to reply to any questions we had. We had a really great time and would happily book again in future. Thank you!

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. Also walked to the pub in Itchenor, lovely walk on a summer day. Thanks for having us stay in your house.

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).

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.
