    Open staircase should have been mentioned in details. Not that safe for some people particularly children and older people.

    The perfect place to walk out from. Comfortable and nice to relax at. Does not need all the fake flowers but otherwise just the place to enjoy Chichester harbour from.

    Great location, lovely cottage, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Two minutes walk to Birdham Pool and five minutes walk to Chichester Yacht basin, with great walks/bike rides locally. Coffee bar 20 yards away, in season , and cafes and restaurants in the yacht basin. Convenient for Chichester or beaches. Just check the prices at West Wittering parking!!

    We would've liked to be able to secure the sliding wooden doors from the inside of the property. There was a power cut Friday night resulting in a temporary loss of WiFi. This meant that we had no hot water. The owner was contacted via emergency contact. They switched the hot water back on remotely! It was wrongly suggested that we had turned it off. What happens when the owner is unavailable? There were no instructions in the house. More info on the local footpaths etc would have been useful.

    Wonderful walks in every direction and such variety. On our previous visit we walked along the ship canal to Chichester, this time we went on a footpath alongside the harbour and it just happened to be Chichester Market day so loads of delicious local food on offer. We also walked the Roman walls before enjoying coffee and cake in the gorgeous Cathedral gardens.

    A lovely house well furnished, with lots of space. Location is very convenient for Goodwood events and has good restaurants in the area. The proximity to the boat yard was not an issue in terms of noise and the surrounding countryside is lovely.

    This is the second time we have stayed at Tabernacle Cottage and will hopefully visit again. It is ideally situated in beautiful Chichester Harbour with easy walks from the doorstep and a convenient location for beaches and access to Chichester. The cottage is spotlessly clean,well equipped and comfortable.
