Grooms Cottage
Grooms Cottage is in a delightful setting within the grounds of the owners’ country home. Just 2 miles from Littlehampton and Climping beaches, great stretches of coastline to walk, and with the historic town of Arundel and its castle less than 2 miles to the north, the cottage is in a very good setting for a convenient break away. Although only a studio cottage there is good space here when the bed is lowered. The kitchen and dining area is nicely separated from the main living and sleeping area and there is the addition of a bathroom with a shower attachment above the bath rather than a shower room, something you do not often find in a studio cottage. The grounds of the owners’ home are extensive and guests are invited to enjoy the gardens in front of the cottage.
Lyminster is a small village immediately to the north of Littlehampton and within 2 miles of historic Arundel. The cottage is perfectly placed to enjoy so much within Sussex offering an easy drive to Chichester to the west and Worthing and Brighton to the east. Arundel only 2 miles away is a historic market town dominated by the symbolic castle and the rising spire of the cathedral. The view as you approach Arundel from Grooms Cottage is impressive. It offers a variety of craft and antique shops as well as restaurants and tearooms and is a great place to visit and enjoy its hospitality. Arundel castle is the seat of the Dukes of Norfolk and is set in 40 acres of sweeping grounds and gardens. The castle has been seasonally open to visitors for nearly 200 years, it is one of the great treasure houses of England and is home to priceless works of art in stunning rooms. Climbing the 131 steps to the Keep which dates from the 11th century to take in the views over Arundel and the South Downs is definitely worth the effort. The River Arun winds its way around the town and is a magnet for wildlife. With more than 60 acres of ponds, lakes and reed beds, Arundel Wetland Trust attracts some of the world’s most spectacular ducks, geese and swans. The best way to enjoy the river is on a river cruise stopping off at the pub or proceeding further north where the river hugs the scarp wooded slope at the foot of the Downs before reaching Amberley. Climping Beach and Littlehampton’s West Beach are within a 10 minute drive. This is a beautiful unspoilt length of beach is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and at the eastern end beside the mouth of the River Arun is the beach café built by local craftsmen using materials sourced locally where you can get fish and chips. Beach 3 miles. Shop 1 mile, pub ¼ mile and restaurant 2 miles.
