We’ve booked with Wellies & Windbreaks before, staying at their property ‘The Courtyard’ in West Wittering for Christmas 2021, which was absolutely wonderful so we decided to book again for Christmas 2023. When it wasn’t available we went for Seacote.

A really lovely little house, just a very short stone’s throw from the beach.
Just as shown in the photos.
Lovely clean rooms throughout with simple decor and nice little bits of art.
Well stocked kitchen – everything we needed to prepare a full Christmas lunch.
Wonderful view of the sea from the master bedroom and you could also see the sea from the living room.
Hot tub was a real plus – fabulously hot – and we made the most of it!
And the enclosed garden for the dog was great.

We were told there’d be some wood to get us started with the log burner however there wasn’t any which was a little annoying, and the log burner itself was a somewhat tricky to operate. Allso there was a loose kick board under the kitchen counter which kept falling down, but those are the only small criticisms.

If we had to choose again we’d probably go for The Courtyard as it was more spacious, had an open fire, and we preferred the beach (further away but much bigger and more open) and the general locale along the coast in West Wittering.
That being said, Seacote is a very lovely holiday home, and in fact, I imagine it would really come into its own in the summer with the sea being so close and the great summer house in the garden.
Many thanks, Wellies & Windbreaks once again.

Thank you for a lovely stay in Seacote- beautifully and thoughtfully kitted out with every comfort you could need. Lovely to be so close to the sea; great view from balcony. Ideal for a small family, but a bit tight in the sitting room if more than 4 really. Fantastic hot tub and garden room.

Selsey is not very nice but the house was comfortable and well set up for a family with small children. Great garden with dining table and if you join the seafront and turn left there’s a nice walk. Fine as a base to get out to nice areas like Chichester harbour and to sandy beaches at the Witterings. We’d use Wellies and Windbreaks again but would be more careful to check the location next time.

A wonderful week in Selsey. The house was perfect for my parents, me and my husband, and our children. The house has absolutely everything you’d need for the week in terms of furnishings and kitchen ware. The location directly opposite the beach is incredible. The beaches are uncrowded, the sea is calm, and you can easily walk to the lifeboat station, an amazing bakery, green grocer, and small shop. In the warm months when the weather is nice there is a fish and chips shop and ice cream shop open next to the seaside playground and skatepark. This is a more residential area of Selsey so away from the resorts which we liked. We were very comfortable in Seacote and hope to return!

Ideal dog friendly property for a ‘rest & relaxation’ holiday, plenty of places to walk to for lunch. West Wittering near by for beach walks & Pagham Nature Reserve worth a visit

Had a wonderful stay , everything from check in to checkout went smoothly – the property and its location made our stay wonderful, great weather too
