Great house in a fantastic location

Thanks to Amanda & Angela for facilitating our last minute booking for Sherkin – a deceptively large house! Clear information on all aspects of the stay was shared up front and the house was perfect for a family of 4 (+ dog) but can easily accommodate more with the extra beds & futons. Even though the property is on a road to the beach, with multiple cafes/shops, there is no noise at all – even on the Bank Holiday weekend – allowing for a peaceful stay. The garden/deck was a bonus. I’d agree with the other reviews that off road parking would be tricky for anything other than 1 large car or 2 small cars – but there’s plenty of options nearby. Great facilities, great location and a great family holiday – we will be retuning! Missing the walks and breakfasts at Drifters already…..

An Ideal Base

We are a family of 6 with a long affinity for East Wittering. Sherkin is an ideal base for our annual pilgrimage.

Great location, lovely garden

Thank you so much for your wonderful review Jess. I am delighted you all enjoyed your stay at Sherkin over half term.

Thoroughly Relaxing Break.....

Sherkin is in a truly wonderful location, right in the heart of East Wittering. Everything you could possibly need is on your door step and we loved the convenience of it all.

A particular highlight was the sheltered garden with different spots to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day! Absolute tranquility despite being so centrally located.

The service from Amanda at Wellies and Windbreaks was terrific and we had a thoroughly relaxing break. Just wish we could have stayed longer!

Sea sand splinters!

We had a lovely time. The weather was great. The house is excellent and very well equipped. Couple of things: all the kids got multiple splinters from the decks. Fingers bottoms etc. Suggest resanding and varnishing. Main bed is unbelievably creaky. And the futons are really uncomfortable!
Other than that lovely place and lovely garden.

Dear Dee
Thank you so much for your review and I am glad you enjoyed a very sunny Easter weekend. I appreciate your feedback and shall speak to the owners about the garden decking. I will see that they get it treated. I shall also see if there is anything that can be done about the creaky bed too.
With regards to the futons, and for the benefit of future guests, these are just designed to be for small children as an additional option if required. The house has beds for 7 guests and is marketed as such, but does have the option of two extra futon beds for use by additional children if required and upon request.
Best wishes
Amanda

Fantastic holiday home

Sherkin is spacious, homely and very welcoming. It’s in an excellent location for the beach, shops, restaurants and cafes; yet still manages to be peaceful. East Wittering is a delightful place and very dog friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Note that the driveway was very small and could just about fit two small cars. We’d definitely go again!

A great holiday break at Sherkin

We , a double family of 6, had a very comfortable stay in Wittering. The location is excellent, being a short walk to beach, shops & cafes.
although the weather was variable we were fine in Sherkin and did not drive away all week.

A really nice place

We really enjoyed our week at the Sherkin. It was very clean and was in a perfect position very near the town and the beach. The property was exactly as described on the web site and the patio and garden were excellent for eating with the sun on it almost all day.

Great weekend getaway

Fab location right in the village, near the shops and short walk to the beach front. Lovely secluded spacious back garden
Loved the whitewashed walls and floors, everything we needed at the property, just managed to squeeze our big car on the drive, agent really helpful and responsive
Would highly recommend using them.

Sherkin, great location for a seaside break

Lovely spacious property with wonderful garden, perfect for a beach break! Clean, crisp white decor throughout and well equipped.

Excellent location

We stayed here for my husbands 40th and it was perfectly located and really big. Really close to shops and amenities and beach. Perfect for families. Just on the chic side of shabby chic. Brilliant and memorable weekend.

Special times at Sherkin

We enjoyed a lovely week at Sherkin. We were two families; five children and four adults. We could not have chosen a better week to enjoy East Wittering, the weather was fabulous and the house is very well located. We did not need to get into our car for the whole week, as all the local amenities and independent restaurants were all a very short walk away.
Parking two family cars out in the front driveway is a bit of an issue; however there is parking available in the streets nearby.

Sherkin soon became our home away from home over the week, with its airy and open living area with easy access to the surprisingly large garden, where the children enjoyed running around, playing football and we enjoyed our nightly BBQ’s.
The bedrooms are of a good size and were lovely and cool in the evenings after a long sun filled day at the beach. The house was clean and tastefully decorated, however the décor on the photos from the website was slightly different to what there was when we arrived at Sherkin, as I understand it had new owners.

All in all our stay at Sherkin was wonderful and we have such special memories of our time in East Wittering, we will definitely book again!

A little disappointing not as expected

The new owners need to give the property an overall. Furniture not great throughout, drafty 2nd floor making it unusable. Oven need replacing – dryer needs to be installed, not as expected.

I am very grateful for the feedback and I am sorry that Sherkin did not meet the guest’s expectations. The property had changed owners in between the booking date and actual holiday and in fact, the owners only completed three weeks before the guest’s holiday. I had advised the guest at the time of booking that the property would look a little different to the wesbite photos and that some of the fixtures and fittings would be changing. I was not in a position to know what these changes would be until the new owners had finished fitting it out. This was just a fortnight before the guest’s holiday and it is worth noting that at that time, this guest had wanted to cancel her booking. I was trying to re let the dates for her.

I question the comment about the 2nd floor being drafty as I have managed Sherkin for 3 years, throughout all seasons and have never had this concern raised before. The owners have put locks on the loft hatch doors in case this was the cause of the problem but I would like to reassure future guests reading this review that room is definitely usable and enjoys a beautiful twin bed / zip and link. It is a lovely bedroom.

The owners are looking into the comment about the oven and had an engineer around to service it. Other guests have not had an issue but the owners do want to ensure that the oven is operating perfectly for future guests.

With regard to a dryer, the owners may consider putting a tumble dryer at the property but for the time being, it is their wish to just have a washing machine. There is a clothes airer for guest use.

Wellies & Windbreaks is always grateful for guest feedback and does always act upon it when required. I should like reassure future guests that Sherkin is a lovely and very comfortable family holiday home which has been much enjoyed by holiday makers for over 3 years now with Wellies & Windbreaks.

Great week at Sherkin

Nine of us had a great week staying at Sherkin – 2 families plus a grandparent and dog. The house was spacious and well-equipped and the children loved exploring it. They also couldn’t play enough football in the large enclosed rear garden which is very well-kept. Parking 2 cars on the driveway is something of a challenge unless they’re small, but there’s plenty of parking in streets nearby. The location is pretty perfect in the village – seconds to walk to the shops and a couple of minutes to walk down the road to East Wittering beach. The beach appears pebbly at first but has sand at low tide, so it’s possible to build sandcastles whilst avoiding the hefty parking charges at West Wittering!
Amanda was very helpful and easy to contact during the week and resolved a couple of issues that we had. Her newsletter is well worth a read as it gave us ideas for activities that we wouldn’t otherwise have known about.
Just wish I’d remembered to take some piano music with me…

Superb Holiday!

Our family of 11 – 6 adults, 4 children 1 baby – had an amazing stay at Sherkin. Amanda was absolutely fantastic with providing information and service upon booking and afterwards with deposit return.
We will definitely book again.

Summer break with 3 kids

Excellent location 200 yds from East Wittering beach and 2 minutes walk from all shops and amenities. House is in great condition and stylishly furnished. The good sized sunny garden is a bonus. 2 of the 5 bedrooms are very small but accommodate a cot (provided) and kids bunk beds respectively. We were 1 family with 3 kids but the house could take 2 families with up to 6 kids. Couldn’t fault it and are likely to return in the future.
