The Chapel
England / Barnham, West Sussex
Full description
A lavish, light-filled cottage that's rich in elegant detail, beautifully positioned in a quiet village close to Bognor Regis, for a memorable group break.
Pet-friendly, wheelchair-accessible, and sleeping up to eight guests, The Chapel is a divine retreat for groups in search of a celebratory break - without anybody having to miss out on the fun!
Its location in the ancient, peaceful village of Barnham (which was recorded in the Domesday Book) is perfect for relaxing and exploring alike, since there's a host of family-friendly attractions just a short distance away... including the classic English seaside resort of Bognor Regis.
The Chapel itself is welcoming and wondrous, packed with intricate attention to detail and characterful flourishes of style that are sure to leave you open-mouthed as you explore.
In keeping with your historic surroundings, heritage features including leaded windows and herringbone floors provide a sense of timeless elegance, while soaring ceilings and contemporary accessories feel indulgently luxurious - such as the rolltop bathtub in the master bedroom.
Enter through the grand hallway to discover two sumptuous, light-filled living spaces to relax in, with a crackling wood burner to gather round by evening.
There's a chic study on hand if you need to catch up with work, or are simply looking for a quiet space to open a good book, while an appliance-packed kitchen takes care of celestial feasts.
You'll find an accessible shower room and double bedroom downstairs, too, while the staircase leads to the master room, equipped with the aforementioned rolltop bathtub!
There's another cute double room on this floor, gracefully nestled in the eaves, along with a bathroom, and a balcony that overlooks the living space below. Flanked by huge windows, you'll be captivated by the views.
Once you've taken a good look around - and claimed your favourite bedroom, of course! - why not pop open a bottle of bubbles, and head outside to the enclosed garden?
Here you'll discover a patio that's equipped for al fresco banquets, with its large wooden dining table, and a romantic pergola with climbing fruit trees and sweet-scented flowers.
With attractions including Goodwood and Fontwell Racecourse close by, and beautiful towns including Chichester and Arundel to stroll through - not to mention the coast, of course! - you're free to immerse yourselves completely in the area's charms, before making that hallowed evening pilgrimage back to The Chapel.
(Just make sure you get back in time to watch that stunning summer sunset from your patio, and all will be well with the world).
Things to note
Up to two well-behaved dogs are permitted. A travel cot and highchair can be supplied on request.
