Welcome to the wonderfully peaceful and picturesque coastal village of Elmer! An English seaside paradise, complete with its eight salt water pools, sandy beach and stunning forest.
If you're looking for sunshine, Elmer should be ideal, being the second sunniest part of the UK, with an average of 7.7 hours sunshine per day (just behind Eastbourne, at 8 hours per day).
Whether as a romantic getaway...or special occasion...maybe a chance to relax and unwind...a business trip...visiting friends and family...or simply a change of scenery to working from home, Elmer is absolutely perfect!
Whilst Elmer, along with the neighbouring villages of Middleton-on-Sea, Clymping and Felpham feel wonderfully quiet and remote. In reality, you are in fact only around a ten minute drive from the four diverse and substantially sized towns of Arundel, Chichester, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton. Chichester is in fact the county's capital and Arundel is beautifully quaint town brimming with history, including a cathedral, river and quite possibly one of the country's best-kept castles, definitely worth a visit.
In addition, Elmer is less than an hour's drive of Brighton & Hove, Shoreham-by-Sea, Horsham, Portsmouth and Southampton. Also, Goodwood Racecourse is around a 20 minute drive.
The apartment is on the ground floor and has recently been fully refurbished and has a spacious, modern, stylish yet beachy feel, whilst still feeling homely. I have called the property Goldeneye, named after Ian Fleming's beach side house in Jamaica, the author of the James Bond books.
In my opinion, one of the most important things when I travel is a good night's sleep, which is why I've recently had a brand new luxury mattress (memory foam and springs) fitted in the bedroom. To say it's comfortable, would be an understatement! 😊
Maybe start the day with a quick sea swim, followed by short walk back to the apartment for a nice hearty breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. Then out for a long ramble in the countryside or along the beach taking in the sunshine and fresh sea air, stopping by one of the lovely local pubs for lunch. Then, after a relaxing shower, either snuggling in on the sofa for a movie, or maybe an evening drink out on the patio or perhaps a visit to The Cabin for some live music, or maybe even to the local chippy for some fish and chips on the beach, could it get any more British!
There is a filtered water tap installed (the three filters combine to remove heavy metals, silt, chlorine, etc), so no need to buy endless bottles of drinking water! :-)
There is "superfast fibre" WiFi, so whether catching up on your emails or streaming movies, the Internet should be plenty fast enough.
Dogs are welcome, in fact the area is great for dog walking. The apartment incudes two dog bowls, a dog towel and jar of treats to make sure your pooches also feel welcome too! There are also several dog friendly pubs located nearby.
There is pair of thermal flasks, cooler food bag and pair of beach chairs including parasol, so everything you need for a day at the beach!
Bedroom - super comfy bed with brand new luxury mattress, comes equipped with a double wardrobe, desk, hair dryer and Bluetooth speaker for unwinding to your favourite playlist of tunes.
Bathroom - features a huge shower, perfect for after those long country walks or day at the beach!
Kitchen - includes a washing machine, iron / ironing board, fridge / freezer, blender, oven, air fryer, microwave, hob, kettle, toaster and all cooking utensils, pots and pans.
Lounge - includes a 43" Smart TV (with Netflix, Prime, iPlayer, 4OD, ITVX, YouTube, etc) and very comfortable sofa, perfect for a movie night!
Outside space - the front door leads out onto a communal patio, perfect for relaxing in the sun (outside table and chairs in the apartment). There's also just round the corner, a beautiful gated garden (sorry, dogs are not permitted in this area) just for residents on the private estate.
The apartment has central heating, so keeps nice and cosy during those cold winter months.
There is a communal patio area where you can enjoy relaxing in the warmer months, in the morning with your freshly brewed coffee and in the evening with a cheeky glass of wine (or two!). The flat includes its own patio table and chairs.
The beach is accessed simply by crossing the road to enjoy the quiet sandy paradise that is Elmer, whether it be a quick dip in one of the salt water bays or a gentle stroll. The beach also makes a beautiful setting for some yoga and pilates, or perhaps a run / jog. Paddleboards and dogs are also welcome.
There is also beautifully tranquil forest just a five minute walk from the apartment. These woods are ideal for dog walks, or even as a place to relax with a picnic, book or sketch pad.
There is a dedicated parking space for the flat within the apartment car park. Parking is free at all times.
For the full spa pamper experience, I work with a fantastic yoga/pilates/PT instructor and sports massage therapist. Private yoga, pilates and personal training sessions are available on the beach. Sports massage available at the apartment. No equipment required.
(please note, guests without reviews or with sub five star ratings, may be required to provide proof of ID and pay a security deposit, which will be refunded upon check-out)
Guest access
There is parking space clearly marked with the flat number located in the second car park entrance on the left. The flat is located round the back of the car park.
There is a pub a two minute walk from the flat, along with a local convenience store around a five minute walk away.
There is also a bus stop nearby.
You're spoilt for choice when it comes to walks or bike rides, from a stroll along the beach, to a ramble in the countryside.
Whilst Elmer has a lovely remote feel due to it being so quiet, you're still within a short drive 10-30 mins from many local towns such as Chichester, Arundel, Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, if you fancy the hustle and bustle or simply need a supermarket to grab some groceries.
There is also a leisure centre including a gym and tennis courts located around a two minute drive from the flat.
