"Carousel was a perfect house to stay in for our family get together for my husband’s 70th Birthday. The location on a private estate was peaceful and the house was spacious with plenty of parking. Having the beach and sea close was great for our grandchildren. They absolutely loved it. When the tide was in, we were playing on the beach and swimming in the sea, and when the tide was out they enjoyed exploring the rock pools. Everyone loved crabbing in Littlehampton and walking on the pier at Worthing. The host responded quickly to our enquiries and was very friendly and helpful. We absolutely loved our stay here."

"A wonderful long weekend with our family to celebrate a 70 th birthday. The grandchildren loved the beach and swimming in the sea, and the crabbing."

Greg H - May 2026

"We had a get together of 16 friends & family and ultimately had a wonderful stay! The views were stunning from both front and back and only a 1 minute walk to the beach. The check-in ran fairly smoothly, we were originally told the wrong code for the key box but was quickly picked up and rectified. They left a wonderful welcome gift and the house was absolutely perfect for what we wanted, a big downstairs space for 16 people that meant we weren’t on top of each other all the time and a lovely outdoor area too. The curtains although lovely do let a lot of light into the room in the morning so if you’re hoping to lie in I would suggest bringing an eye mask. Other than this it was perfect and would definitely recommend this property."

Ron P - February 2026

"Carousel was a beautiful, large and scenic house that was the perfect stay for celebrating a family member’s 30th Birthday! We loved the space and how open everything felt, with enough room for 16 guests. Lots of options for fun games and tv usage. We had an issue with hot water and the host promptly put us in contact with someone that responded immediately and the issue was sorted! Fast responses and polite feedback every time, we felt well and truly looked after by our hosts. Prime location right on the beach! Less than a minutes walk and plenty of green space around to take in the scenery and appreciate the beautiful views. The house was clean and tidy, only missing some hand wash upon arrival, but shops are very local so easy to get what you need and plenty of storage to keep shopping. Lots of amenities already provided and loads of spare options in cupboards too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Carousel and would love to rebook again!"

Nayle - January 2026

"I just want to say thank you from myself and the rest of the people that stayed in Carousel over the weekend. We were all blown away by how lovely it is. You've done a great job putting together a beautiful house. We all wanted to stay there for the rest of the week. I also really appreciate you accommodating to our needs. That was very kind. I should also mention that Anthony was wonderful at handing over the property to us for the weekend. He is such a pleasant and welcoming person and it was great for us to have someone like him greet us on arrival."

The Sea

Opposite the house is the access to the Sea, a wide lane leads to a Greensward that runs for miles along the coast.

Swimming is dictated by the tides which vary by 1 hour each day, Swimming is ideal 2 hours either side of high tide. At low-tides or when the tide is out there are rockpools and ample opportunities for crab hunting or shrimping, an endless exploration for young minds.

There are both rules and safety equipment along the coast, please make sure you take note.
