The home was extremely comfortable and within walking distance to everything we needed. Overlooking the Arun river from the patio was wonderful. The beds were very comfortable and the house had all the kitchen items required for our 9 night stay. Our host Valerie was amazing as she responded to any questions we had immediately. The off road parking was also a great help.
It was the first time my family had all been together in 13 years and the house was perfect.

Good sized property in good position for all amenities and nearby for us to go to Goodwood races

Very happy with everything which was as described. Probably the most outstading feature was the riverside location - 10 minutes walk tp the town centre and/or seafront. The 5 minute walk to the pub/restaurant Arun View meant that we ate there most evenings.

Walking distance of Arun View Inn, Littlehampton town centre, the railway station and the beach.

Great communication before and after stay. The location was brilliant with plenty to see and do during our break.
The house was very clean throughout.
The best bit for us was watching the swans, turnstones and kingfisher from the bottom of the garden. We also managed to fit in some crabbing, great fun without going out
Would definitely stay here again.

My husband, two sons and my eldest son’s partner had a really wonderful long weekend in this super house!
The location by the river is perfect- we could have sat on the patio all day watching the boats going by. It’s a very short, interesting walk to all the shops, cafes, restaurants that you could possibly need. The local people were very friendly and we chatted to neighbours.
Our hosts were very helpful giving us lots of information about the area and help with travel suggestions- we were caught up
in the train strikes and had to drive from Edinburgh.
All in all a really relaxing and happy wee break- we would love to come back

Lovely house, lovely location, great stay
A lovely house in a great location with parking directly in front.
Cosy, warm and comfortable and well equipped.
Lovely views from the rear terrace, and very relaxing to sit and watch river life go by.
The views from the lovely master bedroom are beautiful.
An easy, flat walk along the river into town, which is perfect for those who aren't as fit as they used to be!
Would definitely stay again.
The only negative is the limited WIFI provision.
We didn't attempt to use it as were nervous of the cost if we exceeded the data allowance.
I think these days there an expectation of decent WIFI, as a lot of people need to stay connected even when on a holiday.
Apart from that it was super, thank you

Wonderful weekend staying at Riverside. Clean and welcoming property with helpful communication from the owners! We felt relaxed from arrival and enjoyed exploring the area. Great walks, lovely places to eat, comfy beds made for a lovely break

A lovely home from home complete with stunning views of the River Arun. Close to shops and beach (we didn’t need to use our car at all). All amenities provided and an easy stay. Friendly neighbours, who are very helpful. The beds in the “kids’” rooms are memory foam mattresses and comfortable. The bed in the main bedroom could do with an upgrade. Visitors would benefit from more than the 1GB internet that is provided.

The property is situated directly on the bank of the river Arun and it was such a shame that we didn't have the weather to sit outside and enjoy the view. Very close to the shops and station. Delicious fish & chips from Freds.

Had a great time, comfortable spacious house with excellent views in a great location. Would have been nice to get milk, tea and coffee etc. at this price point but that would not put me off staying here again or recommending it…that could have been down to covid anyway.

Beautiful stay by the water
We had a fantastic time at the house and even extended our stay by another day to make the most of the beautiful view of the River Arun from the bottom of the garden! The place is homely and clean. The owners responded to any issues we had immediately, and communication was great at all times. It was lovely being able to walk to the seafront and not need the car, and the kids loved Harbour Park. Would definitely recommend the location and the photos don’t do it justice!
