Springwell , West Wittering - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Pros - great location, near pub and nice coffee shop. Short walk to beach. Cons - not very clean on arrival, mould problem in bathroom, strong damp smell throughout property. Had planned to cook but found mould growing on wooden spoons and cobwebs on the pans - so ate out instead! Having read through the comments in the visitor book we could see these issues had been raised several times, so it’s disappointing they haven’t been addressed. Would not stay again.

Not cleaned adequately, even the artificial flowers were dusty! It was damp, musty, dark & gloomy. Dishwasher mouldy, with rotten food. A bad smell on entering. Agents not helpful! Kitchen isn’t equipped with useable utensils.

the house is only a few minutes walk away from the beach, perfect for walks. the living room is a bit dark and seating uncomfortable. unfortunately no outdoor seating available. a steep staircase to the bedroom

The place was in a great location and clean. Unfortunately, we were expecting both a working dishwasher and washing machine, but these were both in disrepair when we arrived. We have two young boys so this was a requirement for our stay. After phoning the 2nd day they were quick to replace the dishwasher which was helpful but still left without a working washing machine. The location is beautiful with close walks to the beach and walkways along the water so that helped keep us in a cheerful mood. The only other comment was the lack of toilet paper for our family. We were told we only get a roll and 1/2 as a starter. This doesn’t seem right as we are travelling and surely can’t be expected to purchase a whole bundle of toilet paper for 3 days? This is obviously not right and no other place we have stayed in Europe or North America would do do this. Other than these couple of these important feedback items, we really enjoyed our stay. Thanks for reading.

Just back from a week at Springwell Cottage. A cosy, well furnished cottage for 4 people and a dog. Great location for West Wittering beach and other walks or bike rides. The cottage was clean and well decorated. Shower and toilet were separate which was good. Bedrooms perfect size for a weeks stay. Neighbours helpful as there is very limited outside space for hanging clothes, fortunately weather was amazing.

Cottage was very disappointing. It was much smaller than expected, no prior warning that toilet was downstairs (practically outside) with no sink for hand washing. Tiny shower room with nowhere to put anything. Shower screen filthy so felt unable to use shower. Mould all over tiles. Stairs very steep and dark. Double bedroom room dark and horrible bedding covered in some sort of black stretch material including bottom sheet and pillowcases that did not close on ends, mismatch dark grey towels,lots of mould on walls and ceiling, shutters very dusty, door would not move to close. Smaller room mould on ceiling, dust on shutters, only one out of three bulbs working. Kitchen appliances had been wiped over with a smeary cloth, bathroom door catching on kitchen worktop causing a loud screeching noise (not acceptable especially during the night). Toilet cistern handle hanging off which we had to repair. I have many photographs to substantiate these problems. AND FOR ALL THIS I WAS CHARGED IN EXCESS OF £1000 for 2 NIGHTS. under the circumstances I think some compensation is in order as it was very embarrassing for me as I had taken a friend away for a special occasion. I look forward to hearing your comments asap

We had a lovely time but the cottage needs some updating as lots of mould in places, needs new fridge and new dishwasher as doesn't clean anything and the sofas aren't very relaxing. Wonderful location for the beach and enjoyed the cafe over the road.

Compact accommodation in the centre of the village but well-equipped and an excellent location for a beach holiday,

On arrival we were very pleased with our choice and overall had a very pleasant week - it's a superb location, close to the beach and all the other amenities and helpful that it's dog friendly. Due to the inclement weather we spent a lot of time indoors and the sofa & armchairs are pretty uncomfortable. There's also a poorly fitting duvet & sheet on the main bed that could be improved. It's a dark property indoors without much natural light, again if the weather had been better that wouldn't have mattered so much. It had a well stocked kitchen which we put to good use. We would return but probably for no longer than a weekend.

When we arrived the sofa and armchairs were all Sandy. The dining table was dirty. There was a dirty pair of. bikini bottoms on the floor under a radiator in the lounge diner. Lumps of fluff were all blowing across the bedroom floor when we opened the door. It was a disgrace. COVID clean?I don’t think so
