Situated 300 metres from the beach, this holiday home lies close to the village of Elmer and within half a mile along the beach of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty which stretches several miles from Elmer to Littlehampton. The beaches in this area remain quiet, even during the busiest summer periods and with man made rock islands just off the shore and accessible at low tide, the beach is wonderful to explore and is ideal for swimming, fishing, windsurfing and walking. Elmer is an ideal location to explore many of the attractions of the south coast from bustling Brighton, 25 miles, to the east to historic Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight to the west. In between there are beautiful places such as Chichester with its cathedral and festival theatre, quaint Arundel, 5 miles to the north with its castle, river, antique shops and famous wetland bird centre, Goodwood and Fontwell race courses and the beautiful South Downs are all close by. Shop, pub and restaurant 200 yards.

Cockle Cottage suited us well. We were there for two weeks, mainly to visit friends and family, as we originally came from Bognor but now live in Yorkshire.. It was the ideal setting for us and wonderful to take my Golden Retriever, Poppy to the beach every day...just a short walk away. The cottage has everything you could need and was very comfortable...and just a short walk from The Elmer pub, which does excellent meals and Real Ale! We recommend Cockle Cottage to everyone....no matter your age. We are 74 and Mum is 93!
The property was very cute and comfortable. Packed with all the comforts of home. The courtyourd garden was a sun trap and had lively flowers. We stayed for a week and had a wonderful stay.

Cockle cottage was lovely.
Cockle cottage was lovely. Just a couple of things to improve a stay. The plates and glasses were very dirty. I had to wash them before use. Not cleaners fault. The dirty plates were put under clean ones. The towels were so rough they actually scratched your skin. As if the soap had not been rinsed out of them. A dust pan and brush would have been handy.

The cottage is in a great location a short walk to the beach.
The cottage is in a great location a short walk to the beach. It was spotlessly clean and the beds were really comfortable. Nearby Arundel was interesting to visit plus lots of walks on the beach and the nearby woods. Despite the stormy weather the cottage was lovely and warm. The only negative is the extremely narrow driveway which is not suitable for large vehicles. Nothing that can be done about this however and most small cars would be able to navigate it unscathed. I would still recommend this lovely cottage.

Lovely cottage.
Lovely cottage. 5 adults, 1 child and a dog. Plenty of room for us and close to the beach/local amenities. The cottage had everything we needed for the week. Lovely setting. Only downside was the long thin drive which was a little tricky to drive down. Other than that a smashing place to stay! Thank you.

Another lovely break at Christmas. The cottage was decorated and had a lovely Christmas tree. Unfortunately the break was cut short due to moving into tier 4. We have already booked a summer break at Cockle Cottage.

Another fantastic holiday at Cockle Cottage. Our dogs Norma and Bobby loved the walks on the beach. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped as always. The weather was great, especially for the time of year.

We were worried when we saw that the cottage was behind other bungalows, but we shouldn’t have been. It was a lovely cottage, set back from the road, so no passing traffic noise and close to 3, yes 3 pubs in walking distance and of course the beach!

Another lovely holiday at Cockle Cottage. The local people at Middleton-on-Sea are most welcoming. Always look forward to the homemade biscuits on arrival. The dog had a good time walking on the beach and paddling in the sea. Lots of nice meals out in the local pubs serving great food.

This was our second visit to Cockle Cottage, we love it and so does the dog. The Cottage is lovely and private with only a short walk to the beach. There is plenty to see and do in the area. The Beresford is a lovely friendly pub serving great food.
