Cottage
The Studio at Thorpe Cottage is set in a pretty courtyard garden. Fully equipped, luxurious and contemporary, this self-contained studio is perfect for single or double occupancy. Situated in the heart of Old Bosham two minutes walk from Bosham harbour, quaint village pubs, cafes, coffee shops and restaurants.
In the summer guests can relax in the garden and enjoy eating al fresco. In the winter it is the perfect cosy bolt-hole to escape to.
The owner is on hand to tell you about local life, where to eat and lovely walks, etc. However the best thing to do in Bosham is just go for a stroll and explore.

Small but with everything we needed
Convenient location with both the sea and eating places within a short walk. Doreen, the owner was nearly always on hand if we needed any help or advice

Wonderful, restful stay!
We needed to unwind and relax from a stressful house move, this Courtyard Studio and it’s location was just what my wife and I needed. Doreen, the owner made us feel very much at home and nothing was a problem.
The studio property sits within central Old Bosham, everything you needed to enjoy your stay is their. The courtyard is private and full of plants to the boundary with a table and chairs to have that private restful read. The Studio is a stones throw from eateries, including a wonderful pub, all near to the estuary and wonderful views.
We will be back next year!

Ideal spot for a short stay
A very quite, well situated studio apartment. The studio itself is well designed with all facilities. Courtyard garden in front ideal on sunny days for either breakfast or evening meal. Good parking in nearby car park, pub around the corner with excellent pies and some superb walks around the estuary from the doorstep.

A beautiful, spotless and elegant studio
A great location a minute or two from the breathtaking water's edge. The studio and garden has a spotless, simple elegance just as portrayed in the photos. The host's warm greeting and farewell was great and the included refreshments most welcome. A wonderful location for visiting the beautiful city of Chichester.

Perfect for a short break
Lovely accommodation - very well presented, great location just a minute's walk from the quay and pub, and so very peaceful at night (and no street lights so no light pollution either!). The only fault was no storage, but that doesn't matter on a short break.

High quality, perfectly located, private place for a relaxing break
Everything thought of and everything of a high quality. A very nice place to stay.
Doreen is a friendly and attentive host.
Cheap parking (£6 for the weekend) very close by.
A great location for exploring Chichester Harbour and the South Downs.
Recommend the Anchor Bleu for a great view of the harbour and decent pub food.
