Family mini-break

Gayfere Cottage is a very well-equipped and comfortable holiday home. It was good for country walks and trips to the seaside.

Peaceful comfortable cottage

We had a lovely long weekend stay in this lovely well equipped cottage. Warm and spacious with comfortable beds. Lovely well kept garden. Good location and not far for a walk to the marina.

Lovely cottage

Gayfere Cottage is very light, airy and spacious and is in a very quiet country setting, although just a few minutes walk from Birdham marina. Beautiful garden and setting with cows in the field opposite. The garden was lovely for our dogs but not sufficiently secured (as we had been warned) to let them roam freely. Very tasteful furnishings, not generic holiday-home style, which I appreciated. Well equipped and very comfortable. We know the location well and its a 45 minute lovely walk to the pubs in Dell Quay (best outlook anywhere) and Itchenor. Fantastic base for all the things to do and see and very close to Chichester for rainy day shopping! Cycling on the Salterns way was wonderful.

Comfortable well maintained property

We spent a great week here. Lots of space for the family. We used the sunny garden which is well enclosed for the younger ones. The whole property is not overlooked giving privacy. Good WiFi which you do not always find. The property is well equipped with a great kitchen which had everything we needed. Very tastefully decorated and lots of good board games. Very peaceful!

New Years stay

Gay free was an excellent property and location to relax and see in the New Year with the family. Amanda was an excellent host and the property has everything you would need for an enjoyable and comfortable stay.

A lovely stay in a charming house

Just home from a lovely stay, the three of us girlfriends having a quality catch-up. Beds super comfy, garden looked beautiful but never went in it. Lovely walk at West Wittering, great pubs nearby and a roaring fire to spend hours in front if. Can't fault it!

Charming cottage in beautiful location

Gayfere Cottage is perfectly located for beautiful countryside and coastal walks from the doorstep. There are a number of good pubs in the area - our favourite was at Dell Quay. Chichester is a short drive away - we enjoyed a trip to the theatre and Fishbourne Roman Palace. At the end of the day we relaxed in front of the wood burner and had some great family meals in the perfectly proportioned dining room.

Lovely stay

Really enjoyed our two weeks here. No real complaints. Would like to have the house cleaned after first week. Dog proofing is bit of any issue to keep your hounds there

Wonderful Wedding week with Wellies & Windbreaks

A very well equipped and comfortable property in a peaceful location. Spotlessly clean throughout and very spacious. All communication with Wellies & Windbreaks was prompt and the information provided was very good.

Ideal venue for a family holiday

Gayfere Cottage is a delightful property that easily sleeps a family group of 6 people. Good sized rooms throughout the house and an ideal gated garden for little people (and older people) to play in. Well-equipped for a self catering holiday with easy access to supermarkets. Lovely to have a dish-washer and washing machine available for use by guests. Ideal location for a beach holiday with the vast sandy beach of West Wittering within easy access by car - dogs allowed on part of the beach: East Head During the summer - and many other beaches a short car drive away. 15 min walk along footpath to Birdham marina where there is a great bar/cafe that is worth visiting. Highly recommended for a summer holiday.

Great for families

Loved our stay at Gayfere - what a find! We had 3 couples with 2 babies, 1 toddler and a dog and the house was perfect for our needs. Amanda kindly sorted enough cot beds and high chairs for us and there was plenty of room for the toddler and dog to run around. The garden was ideal and you've got great walks on the doorstep. We plan to return later in the year! Thank you Amanda.

Would be very happy to return.

Lovely house, in great location for country walks, great outlook across fields and countryside. The house was clean, cosy, and had everything that we needed for a great New Year celebration with friends. Highly recommended for a group of friends or a family break.

Had a Great Birthday Weekend, weather not great, but company and accommodation brilliant.

The whole family were delighted with Gayfare Cottage. It contained everything a family would need for a few fine days away. Unfortunately our weather was not so good and it would be have been great if there had been a pack of cards or a couple of board games. We did love the log burner, perfect for when we came in cold and wet.

Fabulous 2 weeks at Gayfere Cottage

Gayfere was well equipped for all our holiday needs. Spacious, clean an ideally situated to explore the area. Only downside was that the garden was not secure, with our dogs being able to get through the large gaps in the hedges and into the neighbours garden which meant the dogs had to be on a lead everytime they were outside which was not very nice when we thought they would be able to run around and enjoy the very large garden.

Beautiful property in idyllic setting

Thr property is beautiful and recently renovated with a large private garden where we spent most of the time wih our newborn and parents. The surrounding is amazing too being immersed in the country side. Silence, clean air and a sense of relax amd peacefulenss have characterised our stay. Amanda has been always very responsive. A couple of negatives. The floor of the ground floor was very dirty with loads of pet fur which had not been properly vacuumed before our arrival as well as most of the kitchen crockery, glasses etc were not very clean either. Finally a proper full set of pans and pots with lids for induction hob should be provided (rather than the existing random pieces). Despite the above, I would certainly recommend the property and would be happy to come back.
