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.

Reply from Wellies & Windbreaks

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.
