Loved the position and view and loved our stay and I’m particular!!
The house was well equipped and spotlessly clean(most important for me).
The decoration was very homely with lovely touches. Cheerful and bright.
It took me a minute to find the blind control on the wall upstairs in the kitchen.
I would definitely recommend and I would like to return. Loved sitting on the balcony and watching the sea.
For us the only suggestion would be some better mattresses in all of the rooms especially if adults sleep in the twin, but I know someone else has mentioned that (important for me as I’ve had disc problems) but everyone likes a different mattress and it’s not my house.

A great house that we would definitely rent again, and you can't beat the location. Everything is in good condition, only downside was a very hot front bedroom (would be great if the owner left tips on how to use the blinds and fans in the best way to keep cool).



Angela replied 8 days ago
Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review and feedback on Samphire Laura. The house now has fans in the bedrooms and we will double check and ensure there are instructions on the blinds going forward. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, Wellies & Windbreaks team

In terms of positives, the property is on the seafront with absolutely amazing views. The living area is upstairs with a balcony so you can just sit and look out to the sea with uninterrupted views. Very relaxing indeed. The property has been developed to a very high standard of finish. The gap across the stairs in the living room would be a risk for young children unless carefully supervised as was the gap on the balcony to the down steps.
We visit Wittering regularly. This year the stones on the beach had been pushed up to the very edge of the path at the front over the winter to such a height that it was extremely difficult to get down to the beach anywhere along the front. This is not the property's fault of course but worth considering as a holiday destination if you have mobility issues or young children.
Wellies and Windbreaks were excellent with their communication and we couldn't fault them for their personal service and response time to any queries. The information we received prior to our visit was clear and easy to follow.
Overall, the location and sea views made the holiday very special and we would definitely like to return.

Dear Julianne Thank you for your lovely review and feedback of Samphire. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and the house and location worked well for you. For future guests, the stones from the beach have been removed following the storm last winter so the path/walkway to the front of the house /seaside is clear. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best wishes, Wellies & Windbreaks team

A relaxing 16 night stay with an amazing view to wake up to

Samphire is a lovely property in a fabulous location close to village amenities. The view of the sea is outstanding. The house offers all you need for your stay. The beds could be a little more comfortable but still a wonderful house i would recommend to everyone.

Dear Monique Thank you for your lovely review of Samphire. We are so pleased the house worked well for you and we hope to welcome you again in the future. We will speak with the owners and check the condition of the mattresses and advise of them to be replaced if necessary. Best wishes, Wellies & Windbreaks team

We chose Samphire for a winter break and to recharge our batteries. The house was lovely, super clean and so cosy. Views of the sea were amazing particularly on a stormy day.

We enjoyed some gorgeous walks on the beach at East & West Wittering together with the East Head. The South Downs are also a short drive away.

We were staying for the week as a celebration of my birthday and had a lovely week. It's a fantastic property and the views were stunning.

The main thing that we need to mention is our eldest who is a very sensible 7 year old knocked the back of her head on the stone worktop which is placed directly behind one of the sofa's. We did keep on moving the sofa away from the edge as could see it was very dangerous and something like this could happen. She got quite a bad cut on the back of her head which bled for quite some time. We felt this needed to be raised so something could be done to prevent this happening again to someone else. Perhaps and anti-slip rug is needed under the sofa?
The only other thing I thought I would mention is the mattress in the sea view bedroom was so springy and uncomfortable to sleep on I'm afraid.

Other than these two points we had a really lovely week and it was a great spot to celebrate my birthday.



Amanda Pugh, Wellies & Windbreaks replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for your feedback Caroline and I am so sorry to hear about your daughters accident. The sofa has always been in that position but perhaps it has slipped back to a point where it is too close to the work top. I have someone going in to have a look at it today and we will find a way of making sure it is kept a safe distance from the worktop. We shall also take a look at the mattress in the beachfront bedroom. I am so glad you enjoyed your birthday stay otherwise and thank you for booking with Wellies & Windbreaks. Amanda

Upside-down beachfront in excellent location.

Clean, stylish modern house in quiet location but within an easy walk of shops and eating places in downtown East Wittering. Living space upstairs with balcony giving gorgeous views over the sea with a panorama from Selsey Bill in the east to the Portsmouth Spinnaker Tower in the west, Isle of Wight in between. Direct beach access from the back garden either for swimming or lovely walks along the beach.

Downsides: 3 bedrooms may be limiting for some family groups. Some kitchen essentials missing or in short supply (e.g. only one sharp knife, only 4 of some crockery items, only coffee making by one quite small caffetiere).. Bedroom blinds don't cut out much light and some small windows have no blinds (though not a privacy problem) - if you like to sleep in the dark bring eye masks. The beach here is shingle, with no sand exposed at high tide. Expensive.

We have holidayed in The Witterings for many years, but this is the nicest house we have stayed in. It was our second stay at Samphire.

As soon as we walked in we were very impressed. Exceptional quality and the view was amazing. Very well stocked with crockery etc and lots of extra useful items provided too. Despite being on the beach it was actually quiet overnight. Personally it was a little lacking in privacy but you have to take that to get the location and views. A fair number of people took photographs, obviously keen to look at renting it themselves. The only downside was the heat but then it was an exceptional week and fans were provided. Just a few steps along the beach to a street with shops and many cafes.

We had a super week staying in Samphire over Easter. The house is fabulous - very stylish, clean, well kitted out and with a lovely garden. The location is perfect on the beach and just round the corner from East Witterings shops, pub etc. I thought the rental cost was reasonable compared to others and the communication from Wellies and Windbreaks was excellent.

A very nice house, well equipped, right on the beach and only 5 mins walk from the shops and restaurants. The sunsets were amazing.
Lovely addition of automatic everything! We stayed in November, so didn't get much use of the garden, but it was kitted out well.
Bedrooms were very comfortable, bathroooms clean and modern.
In conclusion, a lovely house that is well worth the stay.

We loved the upstairs living area with balcony and beautiful views over the beach, ocean and Isle of Wight. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the usual appliances, though a bit short on some crockery. The three downstairs bedrooms, two of which ensuite, are lovely, but beware the blinds are thin and some small "porthole" windoes can't be covered, so if you like to sleep in the dark bring an eye-mask. There were also only 10.5 tog duvets - far too hot for August, especially in the warm south-facing master bedroom.

Outside, our daughter and teenage grandchildren loved being able to just pop out of the back gate onto the beach for a swim, and we oldies had lovely walks along the beach at low tide, when you can wak on the hard sand rather than wade through the shingle higher up. There is parking for two cars, and it's only a short walk to Shore Road, the main street of East Wittering. And of course the Chichester area is rich in wonderful places to visit.



A lovely house.

We had am amazing week at the Samphire. The location is breathtaking (right on the beachfront) and very practical (close proximity to the local shops). The house is very clean, fully furnished and very comfortable. We had an amazing time - loved every minute if it! Thank you!
