The Bow

Elmer sits on the West Sussex coast between Middleton-on-Sea and Bognor Regis, with pebble and sandy beaches that shelter rock pools and offer year-round dog walking. The Bow stands just 60 yards away—a two-bedroom cottage designed to resemble a boat, complete with portholes and curved walls that give the space its distinctive character. The owner lives next door and maintains the property for guests.

Downstairs holds a dining room and kitchen equipped for proper cooking, with electric oven, gas hob and microwave. Upstairs, a sitting room with sofa bed and TV overlooks a balcony furnished and ready to use. Bedroom one has a double bed; bedroom two a single with a pull-out child's bed. One bathroom serves the whole property. Electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are all included. One dog stays free. Private parking fits three cars, and a shop, pub and restaurant are 50 yards away on foot.

The location works for families wanting beach time and rock-pool exploration, or for those based near Arundel, Chichester and the South Downs. Brighton and Portsmouth are reachable for a day trip. The property is non-smoking throughout.
