About this apartment rental
Old Lock Cottage is a charming yachtsman cottage in the popular sailing village of Birdham, just 4 miles from historic Chichester.
The cottage is just steps from both Chichester Marina and Birdham Pool on the beautiful Chichester Harbour, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The 18 miles Salterns Way runs right outside the garden gates providing a lovely hiking / biking trail to Chichester and the beaches at West Wittering and East Head.
The cottage is on a private dead-end road and is very peaceful, perfect for short breaks or longer vacations. There is a small fully enclosed patio garden with seating.
Inside, the cottage has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and can accommodate 6 people in comfort. It is well decorated with comfortable, contemporary furniture and has been recently renovated. Downstairs there is a large open plan living / dining room with a wood burning stove, French doors onto the garden, and plenty of books. There is fast speed WiFi and a large TV with EE channels.
The separate kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and includes an induction hob, oven, combi oven/microwave, warming drawer, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and Nespresso coffee machine. The utility area in the garage (accessible through the downstairs bedroom) includes a washer and separate dryer. If you don't feel like cooking it's only a short walk to The Boathouse restaurant in Chichester Marina, or you could take a walk or short drive to one of the many restaurants and pubs nearby.
There is a small double bedroom on the ground floor with an adjacent shower room. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and in-built wardrobes. The main bedroom has a king size bed with an en suite shower room. The twin bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a tub and walk in shower. Good quality linens and towels are provided, as well as hand soap and shower gel.
There is parking for 2 cars opposite the gates, and room for one car on the drive.

We had a good holiday on our fifth visit to Old Lock Cottage. We loved the new kitchen and the newly decorated house. We appreciated the supply of logs for the cosy wood burner. The location is perfect with many restaurants nearby.

Wow! what a beautiful house, Old Lock Cottage is, so comfortable and well equipped. Everything you could want is provided, so clean and well equipped. it was a pleasure to return to the house each day after our excursions. Lovely secluded patio and garden to relax in and just a short walk to the marina and refreshments at The Boathouse. Wonderful holiday in a beautiful home.

Excellent property at the heart of Chichester harbour at Birdham pool. Good walks around the harbour, the marina and to local hosteleries. Chichester just 3 miles or 2 hour walk along the canal. Henry Adam’s good to deal with. 3 bed 3 bath property well appointed. Suggestions – please leave instruction manuals visible on arrival, no can opener! Thoroughly enjoyed the break.
