Cabin ∙ 1 bedroom ∙ 2 guests | Cottage in Chidham

The Hayloft is located on an equestrian smallholding adjacent to open countryside in the village of Chidham in the heart of the beautiful Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and on the edge of the spectacular South Downs National Park.

At the rear of the apartment is the cosy bedroom with super king bed which can also be adapted to twin beds on request. The mattress is superior quality to ensure a good night's sleep beneath the crisp white linens.
