Scintillating sunsets for the romantically inclined. Wonderful for a dog walk along the beach as the sun sets to the West. Why not come and enjoy them for yourself? West Wittering and West Beach in Selsey give some of the best views to the Isle of Wight and to the setting sun in the West.

Do you know how to SAVE money on your holiday – by NOT booking using Online Booking Agencies (OTA’s)? For instance – AirBnB charge YOU – the customer, a whopping 12% over and above my modest fees. (They also charge me by the way too.)

I want to help my guests understand about the advantages of “bypassing third-party channels to book directly with management companies and homeowners”.
