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…

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.

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.

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…..

Great location ✔️ Dog friendly ✔️ Walking distance to beach ✔️ Close to restaurants ✔️ Good size garden ✔️ Quite neighbours ✔️
Only drawback, parking is very tight (one car only) but there is ️ 2mins away ✔️

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