  : The location by the sea in the countryside was excellent in the desirable Witterings where the choice of accommodation is limited. It is possible to walk into East Wittering from the site. Hence it was a great base to explore the area.The holiday lodge was a reasonable size. We found the beds comfortable enough. It was adequately catered with pots and pans, cutlery etc. The location near the pool was convenient. Sunshine enjoyed in the morning on small patio area.The staff in the bar were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. The holiday park was a nice size and we met people that created a friendly atmosphere. We played the free mini-golf and table tennis and the children went to the play park Over the Bank Holiday weekend there was a children's entertainment show in the afternoon and live music in the evening which we enjoyed. The travel booking company (Windrush) were very helpful and we enjoyed chatting to the owners. They manage 23 properties on site and a rival company Waves manage others. By booking earlier alternative properties may be available. Our friends stayed in 21B via Waves that was more modern and had a larger 2nd bedroom with 2 singles.
  : The holiday lodge was in need of modernisation and lacked home comforts. Note - some of the properties on site had been upgraded inside with pergolas and garden decks. The shower curtain rail was rusty and the electric bathroom fan didn't work. The clock battery still hadn't been replaced. The bedroom curtains were thin and let the sun in. Why were the lounge curtains so long trailing 4 inches on the floor? The garden furniture was rusty and why only 3 chairs for 4 persons? The lodge was poorly insulated and we felt cold in the morning and evening so had to use the electric radiators. This probably explains why we could hear every sound from next door (either side) including doors closing and hairdryers. The neighbour on one side was running a dog minding business - is this even allowed?The garden areas were maintained but lacked planting to make them a real feature. The onsite pub and shop were rundown. The swimming pool was not really heated. Paying an extra 65 for bedding, towels and cleaning not acceptable as normally included in self-catering holidays as with hotels.

  : This was a lovely location for a few nights by the sea. Overall I loved it and enjoyed my stay. The pool just around the corner from the chalet was heated and a real bonus. It's only a very short walk to the lovely pebbly and almost deserted beach. I swam every day. The chalet is light and feels spacious. You can open the doors really wide and almost feel like you're outside. It opens onto a huge expanse of grass which was lovely. The beds are comfortable. The sofa is a bit hard but that's because it's a sofa bed. There were enough plates and mugs and glasses etc and an assortment of saucepans. There were plenty of cleaning supplies.
  : I felt that a little more attention from the owner could have made it more comfortable and much more convenient. The one right next to it was much better decorated and equipped. In particular I didn't find any instructions for the kitchen appliances. I could not get the oven to cook my ready meal! The curtains were much too long and not wide enough and it just made the place seem cheap. The key needs a new rubber cover because the door didn't slide very easily. Labels on the switches would be useful - particularly the one for the shower outside the bathroom that you need to turn on. There were no spare bin liners so I couldn't replace it when I left. Don't forget to bring your own oven gloves and tea towels!
