Rural Cottage Accommodation for 12

Summary:

Enjoy use of a small cluster of converted barns in Sidlesham, arranged around a courtyard setting three miles south of Chichester and within easy reach of Pagham Harbour, Chichester Harbour and the coast.

Each building retains its own character and charm, with exposed timber beams, wooden floors and a relaxed farmhouse feel throughout. The accommodation works equally well for leisure stays, extended family visits, or practical stays for those working in the area.

Fabulous stay at Lockgate Dairy. Perfect for our family get together. Great rural location for a good night’s sleep. Within a few minutes drive to some great pubs. Can well recommend The Spotted Cow. The property was well equipped for a very comfortable stay. Five star accommodation. We will return next year.
