2 Longcopse Cottages (cottage)

Home description

This pretty 4* rated cottage is in a quaint, typically English village on the sunny south coast, close to the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Emsworth Quay and the shores of the harbour are about 2km from the cottage, and in the other direction are the South Downs - wonderful walking country. An area steeped in history, culture, wildlife and sporting activities, a holiday here suits couples and small families. If you have a dog, you can bring that too!
The cottage is very well equipped - a home from home - with everything you could possibley need, and within easy reach of Chichester for its theatre, art galleries and shops, Goodwood for horse racing and motor festivals and Portsmouth with a cool new waterfront scene and historic ships. Something for everyone here.
