  As a family of 8 we were let down on another property we had booked elsewhere 4 days before our arrival so i was chuffed to bits to get this house, and what a blessing in disguise.

  Our ages ranged from 28 to 89 and we had a fantastic time at Byewater. Sitting on the enormous decking looking out on the estuary watching the dog play and one of our party paddle boarding in the sunshine was the highlight. The front room is amazing with large bifold doors that open up to look out to the decking and back garden and has plenty of sofas and recliner chairs. Some parts of the house are a little tired and could do with freshening up. The beds are very comfortable and clean. A proper information book with things like rubbish procedures and if we were able to use the out buildings would have been nice, but i don't think the house has been rented out for long. This did not stop us from enjoying what could be an amazing holiday home though, and we all said we'd definitely stay there again. Also it's literally 4 mins drive from Fishbourne ferry terminal.

  We had a fabulous week at Byewater.

  The location is stunning. Our group was 7 adults & 2 dogs - and we had plenty of space without feeling cramped. The house is well set out, with the bedrooms being separate from the kitchen & dining / living area. Plenty of parking space (though the drive down is steep!). The back of the house opens onto a large deck overlooking the creek. It is just fantastic. Red squirrels were daily visitors on the deck - easily persuaded to stop & eat the peanuts that Chris had left. Communication with Chris was great. We left a couple of mentions in the maintenance book - such a good idea to be able to note down any small issues as they arise. It was our first family holiday all together & we couldn't have stayed anywhere more wonderful. Thank you to Chris & his team. We would love to return.

  We had an amazing time at Byewater last week (25/09/23 to 29/09/23).

  The location and description of the property was exactly as we were expecting from the description on Sykes website. However, I have to say, this property was exceptional !! It far exceeded our expectations. Amazing location, fantastically clean and well-proportioned/layout of the property overall. Beautiful freshly laundered towels, bedding and all the little extras that were included in the kitchen....the little things that you forget to bring.....washing up liquid, oil, salt & pepper, tea bags/coffee, tea towel to name but a few....and the nuts for the squirrels that make an appearance daily !! Chris, the owner, is super friendly and always on hand and so keen to make our stay as lovely as possible. We will be back and I can't wait.

  We had a wonderful week here even though the weather was not to good.

  The house is spotlessly clean. So many rooms, wonderful dining room, lovely comfortable living room, but the best is the conservatory so much light, lovely and warm when the sun shines we used the room for reading and games and jigsaws puzzles. The garden is fully fenced off so your dogs can go outside without having to worry about them. You have everything you need in the kitchen to make meals. The beach is two minutes walk away. There were only two of us and we used the double bedroom which had plenty of storage I peeped into the other three bedrooms and they were all lovely wonderful for a large family. If you want a luxury home for a lovely holiday choose this house.

  We had a really lovely time at Topsails.

  Despite the amenities at Colwell Bay being closed during our stay, we really enjoyed the short stroll to the beach at low tide, did lots of fossil hunting and enjoyed the beautiful house. It was very homely and had lots of lovely books and games to borrow. The heating was left on for us and a nice welcome pack too, even doggie treats. I think the only thing we missed was a potato masher (it is so well equipped) and we found the tv temperamental. I would definitely recommend this property. Nice enclosed garden for dogs and children and everyone very friendly. We had a great time thank you and would be wonderful to stay here at any time of the year.
