1 / 18Coastguard Cottage - Aldwick
Aldwick, Sussex
A three bedroom cottage for four at Aldwick with a rear enclosed garden facing the afternoon and evening sun, two garden areas and two dogs welcome, a short walk from the shore.
The best hours in this house are the last ones. The rear garden is enclosed and faces the afternoon and evening sun, and the glazed room opening onto it does the same, so two dogs that have been on the shingle since nine dry off outdoors at the hour the outdoors is worth being in. Coastguard Cottage takes four at Aldwick across three bedrooms, dog friendly, two dogs allowed.
Three bedrooms for four people is a ratio you rarely get at this size. A double and two singles, so nobody is put on a sofa, and one room can absorb the bags, the leads and all the rest of what travels with two dogs. The kitchen carries a range style cooker with a second oven, which is more than four people usually need.
The garden is what that glazed room is for, and an afternoon goes in there whenever nobody has a plan. Outside divides into two seating areas, loungers on one and a table on the other, so four people spread out without leaving. By six both dogs will have found whichever one still has light on it.
Aldwick keeps its own stretch of shore, shingle at the top of it and sand once the tide has gone out, and the walk down is short and level. West of that the coast opens into Pagham Harbour 3.2 miles off, a tidal inlet with lagoons and reedbed behind it and a footpath round the whole of it. A dog on a lead gets water, mud and open sky out there without meeting a road.
