Really lovely holiday accommodation with comfortable beds, a great family space with TV, well equipped kitchen, outdoor space with bbq available and a separate utility room which came in handy for washing and bike storage.

Lovely location ##### Roy B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan R. 7 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and modern with everything you need I visited the Snug during Oct half term with my nine year old daughter and we loved it. The cottage is very spacious yet cosy and a really relaxing place to stay. The owners were very friendly and helpful during our stay and there are lots of things to do in the area - West Wittering beach, Portsmouth Historic Shipyards, Chichester town etc. We ate out at the Cider House pizzeria and The Lamb Inn nearby - both were excellent. Highly recommended! ##### Alan R. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 31 May 2019 #### Bh trip to Sussex Our stay in the Diary was without a doubt one of the most comfortable experiences away from home. The place is very spacious, with plently of room for four adults. The open plan kitchen with diner and living room made it easy for everyone to socialize while eating and relaxing. The most welcomed feature however was the beds, which were extremaly large and comfortable. Outside there was a large green open space with plenty of nature to watch incl. baby bunnies hanging around the balcony doors. There was plenty of cooking equipment as well as bread, butter, milk and flavoured water left in the fridge. Overall 5 star accommodation. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacci R. 18 Mar 2018 #### Lovely rental just outside of Chichester A great holiday cottage. Really clean with excellent facilities. Very quiet location (the turning in to the property is easy to miss!), spotlessly clean and really well equipped. Owners are really friendly and helpful but gave us privacy during our stay. We were able to park the car right outside and the wifi worked well. Took about 10-15 mins to drive into Chichester but it is an easy journey. Some lovely 'extras' such as a Welcome Pack, really useful guide to nearby restaurants and a spare umbrella for those wet days. All in all a great stay which I would highly recommend. My only gripe - still waiting for the refundable damage deposit to be returned so will have to chase ##### Jacci R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2018 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sally Ann V. 14 Mar 2018 #### Wonderful property Beautiful location and lovely property all on one level with excellent facilities and fully equipped kitchen making this a wonderful property for short or long stay. Very friendly owners who have two well behaved dogs and welcome your own doggie friends, however, you need to be careful as the property is set back from a busy road and whilst quiet dogs can wonder out through the gate if not attended. ##### Sally Ann V. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Dec 2017 #### Lovely place to stay I stayed for four weeks at the Dairy and couldn’t have chosen a lovelier place. The setting is idyllic in a beautiful farm yard and surrounded by fields. Accommodation was extremely comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen area had everything that I needed. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Horse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-The-White-Horse.h22409908.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Front Luxury Beach House, Panoramic Views, Direct Beach access, West Sussex](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Sea-Front-Luxury-Beach-House.h19187943.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [The Goodwood Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-The-Goodwood-Hotel.h54955.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [5-STAR LUXURY 'SPA-LIKE' COTTAGE RETREAT ON MILLSTREAM BY SEA in OLD BOSHAM](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-5-Star-Luxury-Spa-Like-Cottage-Retreat-ON-Millstream-BY-SEA-In-OLD-Bosham.h34433432.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Shepherds Barn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Shepherds-Barn.h19202727.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Horse and Groom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-The-Horse-And-Groom.h39524305.Hotel-Information)
