  • "We had a wonderful stay at Spring Cottage."

    Lisa and Andy were fantastic hosts—friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The location is lovely, offering a peaceful setting and a great base for exploring the area. We especially appreciated the outdoor space, which was perfect for relaxing, and the convenient on-site parking. Everything was comfortable and well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily return in the future. Highly recommended!

    So glad to hear you found the cottage comfortable and relaxing and that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the ‘perfect’ review! We look forward to welcoming you again at Spring Cottage! Best wishes, Lisa & Andy Property Owner

  • "This was without doubt one of the best cottages we have stayed at."

    We loved the authentic period charm, combined with a state of the art lighting system. The welcome pack was way above the average expected and the hot tub both scrupulously clean and relaxing. The good sized garden was greatly enjoyed by all in our party. We will definitively be booking another stay.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We’re so pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay! We look forward to welcoming you back to the cottage! Lisa & Andy Property Owner

  • "Stylishly refurbished cottage, comfy beds and well equipped kitchen."

    Lots of outdoor space to relax in. A real home from home, we had some memorable times together. Friendly hosts who’ve clearly thought through how to make the most of this period property for their guests. A good base for exploring Sussex. Arundel, Chichester and Bosham were our favourites. There’s also a pleasant park 3 minutes walk away if you have children or dogs in your party. Easy access to the South Downs and coastal resorts stretching from Bognor Regis to Brighton. Highly recommended for a comfortable stay in an ambient setting.

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the cottage and found it comfortable and well equipped as well as being a good base to explore Sussex from. Best wishes, Lisa & Andy Property Owner

  • "I have never before spent holiday time in such well appointed and well equipped accommodation!"

    Every element has been considered and we wanted for nothing, particularly in the wonderful kitchen. The whole cottage is beautiful, spacious but cosy and so,so welcoming. Thank you to Lisa and Andy (the Ninja hot tub cleaner!) for the wonderful welcome pack with seasonal goodies as well as the essentials we required for our first nights. The dog loved the garden for morning chases, my eldest daughter loved the hot tub, my youngest loved the access to so much telly that we don't get at home, and Mum and I just loved lazy mornings in super comfy beds before heading over the road for dog walks through the fields. We had great days out locally in Arundel, Bognor, Littlehampton and Worthing and even ventured down to Climping Beach to view the sad decline of the beach there. Access to a well-stocked Co-Op five minutes walk away meant that we didn't need to go far to restock the fridge when needed. We honestly couldn't have asked for more from this holiday - thank you so much for sharing this lovely gem of a cottage with us.

    Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback. We’re so pleased you all enjoyed yourselves and found the cottage comfortable with everything you needed for your stay! Best wishes, Lisa & Andy Property Owner

  • "Spring Cottage is a beautifully presented cottage and a very comfortable home from home."

    We really appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of the decor- lighting, artwork, furnishings and appliances, everything was carefully considered to make the most of the cottage's period features while still providing all modern conveniences. A very well-equipped kitchen (as a coffee lover I very much appreciated the coffee machine, and the pack of coffee pods in the welcome basket!). The EV charging point was a real plus for us, as was the hot tub! Liz and Andy were very helpful and responsive hosts.

  • "Spring Cottage is an absolutely stunning thatched roof cottage with a wonderful hot tub."

    The whole cottage is decorated in keeping with its age - the photos do not do it justice. The sofa's are very comfy and the cottage is nice and warm especially with the log fire on. All the bedrooms have very comfy beds and pillows and are beautifully decorated. There are ample lovely soft towels for the showers and hot tub. I have never been in a cottage where the kitchen has been so well stocked - it had everything needed and more. We were given a wonderful food basket and card to help celebrate my husband's birthday. The owners were easily contactable and I can't thank them enough for a perfect long weekend. I would definitely stay again when visiting Yapton. Thank you so much Lisa and Andy.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased that you found the cottage had everything you needed and you loved our comfy beds! We look forward to welcoming you again to Spring Cottage! Best wishes, Lisa & Andy Property Owner

  • "The cottage was divine."

    Warm and friendly when we entered. Lovely welcome pack left for us. Everything had been thought of….including towels for hot tub use. There is a great co op down the road and fish & chip shop (which we didn’t try) ….we walked from the cottage every day and found different walks for the dog. Loved it so much will be booking again. The owners checked the hot tub every day but let us know when they would be coming so as not to inconvenience us. Also I had trouble opening the patio door the first night (didn’t want to force it) and the owners came round to show us how to open it correctly. A little gem - as is Yapton village!

    The cottage was beautiful. Decor was very well done. Clean and welcoming. Lots of kitchen utensils, cups, glasses etc. Spacious bedrooms, soft towels. Also added bonus with hot tub towels. Maybe a few extra toilet rolls wouldn’t have gone a miss. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend staying here.

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and found you had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Noted on the toilet rolls! We will ensure more are available in future. Lisa & Andy Property Owner

    What an amazing restoration, retaining its old features with a modern stylish and warm interior. It was a perfect spot for our gathering of old friends. Also perfect location for nipping in the car to the pubs, shops and sights of Arundel and a bracing walk on the unspoilt sands at Climping/West Beach. Thank you for the warm welcome. Memorable.

    It is beautifully furnished and decorated - there's a lot of attention to detail and we loved the colour scheme. Very comfortable beds and super bedding.

  • "Can't say enough about this lovely place."

    They've thought of everything when they've refurbished this cottage. It might seem silly but, one of my biggest annoyances at most places is no hooks and not enough plug sockets - Spring Cottage has hooks on every door and several sockets on every wall! There were lots of necessities like bin bags, dish soap, salt, spices etc - the things you always forget to bring. It's beautifully decorated and has everything you'll need - even a lovely welcome pack

  • "We had such a fantastic stay at Spring Cottage – it’s a truly special place."

    Lisa and Andy have created a beautiful, welcoming home with a real sense of style and comfort. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, from the clever lighting in each room to the high-spec Control4 system that makes everything super easy to use. The garden was a real highlight – perfectly split between a peaceful lawned area and a sunny, private spot with a hot tub and dining space that we made full use of. It’s ideal for relaxing after a busy day out and about. We also really appreciated the spacious parking and the convenience of the EV charger – such a helpful addition. The cottage was spotless, beautifully furnished, and incredibly well-equipped. You can tell so much care has gone into creating a space that feels like a home away from home. Lisa and Andy were brilliant hosts too – friendly, helpful, and really thoughtful. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Spring Cottage and are already looking forward to returning!

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re so happy to hear that you appreciated the cottage and found it comfortable and that you had everything you needed for your break. Thank you for leaving the cottage so clean and tidy. We hope you will visit again soon! Best wishes, Lisa Property Owner
