Honeysuckle Lodge

Lying south of Chichester, Honeysuckle Lodge is a spacious two bedroomed self catering cottage located at the end of a private road, surrounded by open farmland, with Medmerry RSPB reserve on three sides and within walking distance of the Visitors Centre at the Pagham Harbour Reserve. There is access from the front door to a network of footpaths and bridleways, ideal for ramblers, cyclists and nature lovers.  Zip-linked beds in both bedrooms allow flexibility for a family or group of friends to stay. The cottage is very well equipped for an extended stay and is also suitable for guests with limited mobility. Its location is ideal for those looking to escape the noise and bustle of twenty first century living, and get back to nature, while offering broadband connection for those ‘working from home’ away from home. Full central heating and underfloor heating in the en-suite bathroom and wet room make it an ideal destination any time of year. We will consider one small well behaved dog, but please check our doggie house rules. There is an extra charge for your dog.

Following new Fire Regulations ( 2023) for self catering holiday let accommodation, the use of guests’ own larger electrical appliances is restricted. The charging of E-bikes and EV’s from the cottage, and the use of candles and naked flames are prohibited. Please check our updated Terms and Conditions, and contact us if you have any queries . 

We are constantly updating our website. While Coronavirus guidelines have been down graded we continue to maintain rigorous protocols from earlier industry advice. Should there be any significant changes to Government guidelines which may impact on your stay with us, we will contact you immediately to discuss your options. Refunds due to changes in Coronavirus restrictions will be paid in full if bookings are made through this website.

For weekly bookings we respectfully ask that you adhere to these timings due to cleaning procedures implemented to ensure the safety of our guests, following Covid protocols, which we continue to maintain.

While the rental includes bed linen and towels, guests can bring their own pillows or linen. If you would prefer to do this, please let us know, and we will simply provide our pillow and mattress protectors.
