Flint Cottage - a charming seaside escape

Escape to this charming two-bedroom Victorian Cottage, only three minutes from the award-winning Littlehampton seafront.

You'll have a private entrance onto a plant-filled courtyard dining area. There is a spacious, fully equipped kitchen with room for meals together. The lounge is perfect for cosy nights, with comfortable double bedrooms for a good night's sleep.

Enjoy local water sports and great restaurants, or stroll to the train to explore Sussex, with direct links to Brighton and Chichester.
The space
Flint Cottage was originally built in 1885. Since moving to Littlehampton, we've tried to make it a lovely space for our friends, family, and Airbnb guests. We hope you have a great stay!

There are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a double bed and a single bed. Both bedrooms have blackout curtains and storage for your clothes. The Master bedroom has an ensuite shower and work desk. In the living room, you'll find board games, a TV with chrome-cast and a PlayStation. For larger groups, a ClicClac sofa in the living room folds out to become a bed.

We've stocked the generous kitchen with all the cookware you need to make a feast, and there is a fold-out table if you want to eat together. We like to keep our guests stocked with the basics of tea, coffee, cereal and milk.

You'll be completely separate from our cats and us, but we will be available to contact for anything you may need.

We are looking forward to welcoming you!
Guest access
The Cottage is self-contained with a private entrance and courtyard.
Other things to note
The stairs are steeper than modern staircases, built with the Cottage in the 1800s. Those with mobility issues may want to bear this in mind before booking.

The Cottage accommodates five people with two double beds, one single and one double sofa bed.

Only the master bedroom has an ensuite with a shower. There is a small lavatory downstairs off the lounge.

Both of us drive to work and always find parking outside the house. When it is a beautiful sunny bank holiday, parking can be tighter, but most roads surrounding us are free to use.
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Norfolk Gardens. You'll find features such as laundry facilities. The cottage includes amenities such as free WiFi and a kitchen.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 1.5 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Steps from Norfolk Gardens and 6 minutes on foot from Littlehampton Museum
As a guest of Flint Cottage - a charming seaside escape, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Littlehampton cottage is smoke free.

Lovely place

The cottage is really cozy! The kitchen is big and has everything you need and the owners had put some drinks in the fridge, really nice!The bedrooms were really nicely decorated. The only thing we think can be improved are the beds. Too small for our taste and the mattrasses could be a bit more comfy.We had a lovely stay!

Lovely property in Littlehampton

The cottage did not disappoint. As well as friendly communications from the owners there was a generous amount of basics and goodies in the kitchen which were much appreciated. Everything had been clearly explained including the steep stair case so there were no difficult surprises. We were very comfortable and it was ideal for our early Christmas together. Having a fully equipped kitchen made all the cooking easy . We also enjoyed a lovely walk on the nearby beach. Lovely location.The only thing I missed was a personal contact with the owners which would have been nice, but as doctors I expect they are very busy and may work some distance away so understand not very practical for them. Thank you both for welcoming card and a very enjoyable stay in your lovely and thoughtfully decorated and well equipped cottage.

Super Cottage

Small but perfectly formed! A lovely cottage perfect for our stay and visit to Goodwood. Close to the beach and other great places to visit. Probably the best equipped kitchen I have ever come across - super sharp knives were a revelation!! The little touches were much appreciated from the welcome card and chocolate to the milk, bread and other bits left for us to enjoy. Communication with the hosts was great and we would definitely stay again.

Lovely place to stay for Goodwood races

It had virturally everything we needed for making meals in the evening, including a full size refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, oven etc. It also had a combination washer/dryer which was much appreciated by us. There was enough room for all 5 of us to eat with a little rearranging of the kitchen area. The beds were very comfy. The bathroom upstairs is in the master bedroom area, not between the two bedrooms but we manage that as there is another bathroom downstairs.

Littlehampton half term

Fabulous property, amazing hosts and well stocked for home cooking away from home. We had a wonderful time with the children walking to the beach and playground everyday. Great food in Littlehampton and plenty to keep us busy. Thank you for such a cosy cottage with an excellent hot shower and comfortable beds. More than happy to return here again .

Flint Cottage ist eine wunderbare Unterkunft. Die Küche war perfekt ausgestattet, Ed und Tess haben sogar im Kühlschrank lebenswichtige Dinge wie Milch, Butter usw. gelagert. Die Kommunikation war problemlos. Da wir zu fünft waren, war es etwas eng für uns, trotzdem fanden wir alle die Flint Cottage sehr gemütlich. Highlight war das Bad im „Schrank“.

Schöne Unterkunft mit sehr netten Gastgebern

Die Gastgeber Tess and Ed haben sich schon im Vorfeld sehr freundlich gemeldet, um alle Details zu klären. Bei der Ankunft waren bereits Getränke und einige Lebensmittel für uns bereitgstellt, auch reichlich Kaffee uns Tee. Das Haus hat alles was man bentötigt und ist sehr schön eingerichet und schön hell. Im Erdgeschoss ist eine große Küche und das Wohnzimmer, oben ein großes Elternschlafzimmer. Mit den Vorhängen kann man die Räume gut abdunkeln und in der ruhigen Seitenstraße gut schlafen. Es ist nur ein kurzes Stück zum herrlichen Strand und dem schönen Yachthafen. Nächstes mal kommen wir gerne länger, der Ort ist sehr schön und ordentlich und nicht überlaufen.
