The house was perfect, very clean, lovely decoration and excellent facilities. A lovely welcome pack was left along with all the things we could need, dishwasher/washing tablets, coffee, tea etc. The location is excellent, easy to find with a big front car parking area and very close to the lovely West Wittering Beach. Please be aware if booking that the hot tub is a charged facility, this is not mentioned in the house description (unlike things like a chef/beauty treatments which it clearly states are at extra cost) and the cost was only communicated 1 week prior to arrival! However, we did pay for the use of the hot tub and thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall this is an excellent choice for a large group and we would definitely recommend it.

Sometimes you book a property and it falls a little short of the pictures once you get there - this was not the case at Bell Lodge. It was larger than expected, really cosy, nicely decorated and very well equipped. Everything was clean, fresh, well presented and all room sizes were good. The welcome basket was hugely appreciated and communication was prompt, courteous and helpful before, during and after. Whilst the road doesn't lend itself to walking due to lack of verges, a good pub/restaurant and convenience shop are a very short drive away and an indian restaurant/take-away just a little further. We made use of all of these. Plus walked the beaches of West and East Wittering and the Marina, each reached by car in just a few minutes. We also visited Chichester one afternoon, enjoyed an evening meal at The Ivy, and took the teenagers go-karting in Gosport. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here over New Year, despite the rain lashing down on us on several occasions and it just made it all the more lovely to return after each walk or outing. There were 12 in our party, 6 adults and 6 teens, making this house ample-sized for us with left over space to escape a snorer if need be! There are several different versions of floor plans online, some of which are older diagrams still viewable on other sites; but if you view the one on VRBO via a laptop, it accurately shows the location of the 6 doubles, 2 singles, two family bathrooms, two ensuites and cloakroom.

My family and I stayed in Bell lodge for our Christmas break, 8 adults and one 12 year old and all enjoyed our break. The cottage was very spacious and the wealth of seating excellent. The kitchen was very well equipped and as the dining area was an extension of the kitchen that was ideal as well. The additional lounge area was again spacious and the seating superb. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were excellent and the beds very comnfortable. The downstairs double bedroom with walk in en suite is suitable for disabled guests and had delightful views of the garden as well as an exterior door. The table tennis and trampoline were extensively used and the rear garden was great for the dog. The hot tub is larger than most and again was well used. The trips to Chichester town and marina, and West Wittering beach were enjoyed by everyone. A superb holiday!!

Lovely house, spotlessly clean. Perfect location

We booked a family trip to Bell Lodge over the May half term (two sets of parents and four children under 6). The house is beautiful! When we drove in through the gates we were immediately very chuffed! Huge outdoor space with hot tub, large trampoline & loads of seating. The kids spent ages tearing around and never got bored! The house wa spotless and had loads of room for all of us (9 bedrooms to choose from!). The living space was the best as the kids could play freely and we never felt “penned in”. Very well equipped kitchen and a lovely welcome basket on arrival. A lovely thoughtful touch was a bag of ice so the grownups could waste no time in having a refreshing cold drink!! The location is also fab. Three beaches withing 10 minutes was perfect. Also, lots of shops nearby to restock was helpful. All in all, a smashing stay. Melissa was a great host and was easy to contact. We requested a second heigh chair and it was dropped off the same day. Highly recommended

The host was very prompt with communications. The house was very clean and tidy and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Plenty of kitchen utensils etc. What with the fire place and hot tub it was a very pleasant stay. We were a family of 11 and a spaniel. Highly recommended.

Our family of 6 adults and 4 children ( ages from 1-9years) had a great week at Bell Lodge. We did so much- several beach trips, fossil hunting, coastal walks, funfairs and also time spent in the hot tub and kids loved the trampoline. Property was very well equipped and decorated stylishly. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms very good.It was clean and there was a welcome box of goodies for our arrival. Only slight downside was some traffic noise early morning but not at night. All in all a great holiday.

Three generations enjoyed a lovely fortnight at Bell Lodge. Very well appointed and had everything we needed for a our stay.
