Holiday homes & rentals in Bosham

Bosham is a little Sussex coastal village which has legendary roots. The story goes that this picturesque port was the location for King Canute's attempts to turn back the tide. The King may not have enjoyed his trip to the seafront, but today's Bosham is a delightful place to spend time close to the English Channel. Mixing ancient Roman ruins with birdwatching, small art galleries and fine eateries, Bosham accommodation is sure to appeal to everyone. It's close to Chichester and Southampton, so you can mix urban attractions and semi-rural seclusion from your Bosham holiday cottage.

Dine Out in Style in the Bosham Area

One thing's for sure, Bosham accommodation will enthuse foodies. The area around town is crammed with historic country pubs with beer gardens that open up onto fields or shoreline, and home cooked cuisine of the highest standard is always on the menu.

The Anchor Bleu serves up fresh scampi or crab baguettes alongside succulent west country steaks. Even closer to your accommodation, the Bosham Inn has turned a restored vicarage into the cosiest pub imaginable. English staples from pies to fish and chips will satisfy any appetite.

If you want to try a few local tipples, pubs like Chichester's Hornet Alehouse maintain an ever-changing roster of cask ales, while there are even local brewers like Big Smoke who create their own delicious drinks.

Coastal Fun and Historic Attractions

Families staying in Bosham accommodation won't lack for activities and days out. For instance, Chichester is right next door, with its absorbing Roman Palace and splendid cathedral, not to mention its character-filled medieval walls and narrow lanes.

Back in Bosham, the harbour is a sailing centre during the summer months. So if you and your family want to learn about spinnakers and main-masts Bosham accommodation is a great option. And local wetlands are a haven for charismatic winged critters as well, so it's ideal for birdwatchers.

You can even enjoy traditional family beach breaks from a Bosham holiday cottage. Sandy West Wittering Beach is a short drive away, mixing fine views of Chichester with plenty of space for energetic kids to run wild.
