About the host
Hosted by Gillie Farquhar-Thomson
My family moved to Birdham in 1947 and Martins Cottage has been in family ownership since that date. I grew up in Birdham and went to school in Chichester. My own family have also grown up here. We all love this area. We have everything! We have a wonderful sandy beach minutes away, The Chichester Harbour is just down the road and historic Chichester on our door step. To add to that we have The South Downs National Park just a 15 minute drive away. There is so much to do here and no one is ever bored.
Why they chose this property
Recently we had a small flock of sheep in our paddock. When we gave them up we decided to turn the hay and lambing barn into two semi detached luxury holiday cottages. The cottages are in a perfect situation. They sit well back from our quiet country lane, they face South West and are full of sunshine. To add to that they look out over our four acre meadoiw that is teeming with wildlife.
What makes this property unique
I can honestly say that I have never had a complaint! Our Visitor Books are full of the most wonderful reviews. Visitors on departure look so well and relaxed The cottages are extremely clean, warm, comfortable, light and sunny. You could not fail to have a wonderful time.
