Lovely house close to the sea
This is a lovely house that was very comfortable for the six of us, traveling along the south coast of England. It was historic feeling with the older gate house but had modern appliances and great family areas as well as pretty bedrooms. The walk to the sea is an easy, sheltered walkway and in the evenings, we saw local foxes, which was charming, especially for the kids. The house also has a small grocery two-minutes walk away and that was perfect for running over for pain-au-chocolat in the morning or whatever we were missing. It was a also a great base for visiting Arundel Castle and West Wittering Beach. I definitely recommend it.

A lovely clean and spacious property, we spent the week over Christmas and Val made it really welcoming with a few Christmas decorations. Plenty of parking for cars, table tennis in the garage to keep the kids entertained. Would definitely stay again, and the beach is only a short walk away.

Brilliant house and location
The house was great for us and our dog (a German Shepherd). The house had everything you might need, even down to beach towels. The garden is enclosed. There is a One Stop Shop almost opposite the house (and is open from 7am to 10pm 7 days a week). It's a 5 minute walk to the dog-friendly beach. We stayed in August, the weather was great, and the beach (to our surprise) was very quiet. It did get busier the closer you walked up towards Bognor itself. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely house by the sea
We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, the house is so well equipped we didn’t want for anything during our stay. It’s really close to the beach and a lovely quiet location. Val the host was excellent, she made sure the house was suitable for our requirements and the check in process was easy. The garden space was excellent too.

Wonderful property
This is a spacious, well equipped house, located just 5 mins walk away from the beach. Luckily, the sun shone & we enjoyed breakfasts at The Aldwick Beach cafe & lunches & dinner at nearby Waverley & Navigator hotel. The property has a lovely garden with bbq , sun loungers & bat/ball games supplied . The host was very friendly & helpful, responding immediately to a query. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this delightful lodge house.

Sunny break in a sunny house
A lovely holiday home in a great location just a few minutes walk from the beach, supermarket and newsagent. Easy walk to parks and esplanade. Beach is pebbles with sand when tide is out. The house was perfect for 6 of us. Grandma had the downstairs double with en-suite shower room whilst rest of family shared the three upstairs bedrooms. The comfy lounge with tv and a sun room plus kitchen with separate dining room gave us plenty of room. Kitchen had everything we needed (some egg cups would be nice though). The children loved the table tennis in the garage and a game of ball in the garden. The front of the garden isn’t completely secure for dogs as there is a space under the trees but as we were always out with them it didn’t cause a problem. Thank you for providing a first class base for our break, we loved it.

Five stars for South Lodge!
We really enjoyed our stay at South Lodge. The house itself is lovely and has everything you need for a holiday stay. It's clean, really comfortable and just a short walk to a lovely beach. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and we just had a thoroughly excellent time.

Lovely stay in Aldwick - Fab property!
We had a lovely stay at this period property in Aldwick, a stone's throw from Bognor Regis, South Lodge was beautifully renovated and is a light and airy property with great size bedrooms and lots of living space. It ticked all the boxes for our family allowing the dog in the downstairs of the property, and the kids loved their bedroom with the trundle bed! The weather was windy and changeable but it didn't stop us from having lots of invigorating beach walks and the sun did show it's face occasionally! The beach is very close, just a short walk through the houses. There are shops for food etc. also a walk away. We chose the location for Butlins too, and took the kids there for a day trip which was great fun. It is less than a 10min drive away. The property owner was very prompt with replying to my emails and very clear about what to do when we arrived wrt to finding and getting into the property. We will hopefully be returning to South Lodge again, a great find!

We had a lovely holiday staying for nearly 2 weeks at south lodge in Aldwick, the house is very nice and big, lovely garden, enough space and beds for the whole family, toilet and showers are all new and good working, and the area is so nice and quite, short walk to a nice beach, we were lucky with the weather, lots of sunny days. We will definitely recommend to friends and try to come back at the next opportunity.

South Lodge in Aldwick, Bognor Regis was absolutely beautiful and ideal for our family break. It ha,
We would certainly book South Lodge again It is in an ideal area for us visiting family. The welcome hamper was such a nice touch and very thoughtful. The enclosed garden was ideal for the Grandchildren with a lovely park and beach not far away.

Short May Break
We wondered why this property was still available as we booked fairly last minute, we discovered why - it had only just become available and we were the owners first guests! The property had just been fully refurbished to a high standard, so everything was new and spotlessly clean. The owners were very responsive to questions beforehand, our dogs were allowed, only downstairs but this was fine for us. The downstairs bedroom with en-suite was ideal for my less than fully mobile father-in-law (there are 2 steps between the bedrooms and en-suite). There were only 5 of us, so plenty of space, a group of 8 might found the downstairs cosy. We took the dogs down to the nearby beach, which is dog friendly, we walked into the centre of Bognor Regis and also visited West Dean Gardens. Overall a lovely stay, we would certainly consider returning, we wish the owner the best of luck with this venture.

Tolle ruhige Lage
Das Haus liegt in zweiter Reihe, ruhig, nur paar Gehminuten zum Kiesstrand. Schräg gegenüber ist ein kleiner Laden, der 7/24 auf hat, wo man das Nötigste besorgen kann. Das HAus ist nett eingerichtet, man fühlt sich gleich wohl. Es gibt 3 Doppelbetten und 1 Einzelbett, also insgesamt 7 Schlafplätze. Bei einer Belegung mit 7 Personen (wir waren zu fünft) ist ein bisschen wenig Geschirr da (Gläser, Teller, Schüsseln) und man muss häufiger spülen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und für unsere Bedürfnisse völlig ausreichend.
