Welcome to Priory Coach House, a wonderful holiday home overlooking the stunning Pagham Harbour, managed by the RSPB. Set on the peaceful Church Norton peninsula on West Sussex’s south coast, this spacious retreat offers direct private access to a secluded beach — a hidden gem perfect for paddle boarding, picnics, or simply relaxing with a glass of bubbly as the sun sets over the water.

Priory Coach House is located within the grounds of family owned, Norton Priory, which is situated directly next door, the owner is on site and delighted to help and advise guests during their stay.

This elegant home comfortably sleeps up to 18 guests across seven bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. With two bedrooms on the ground floor, and five on the first floor, there are plenty of places for any combination of multi-generational groups, combined family groups or friends to relax. Six of the bedrooms feature super king beds, and three of these rooms can be made up as twin beds (upon prior request), one of the super king bedrooms also has an additional single bed within - perfect for families.

On the ground floor you will find a bedroom with luxurious freestanding roll-top bath within the room itself, and one of the first floor bedrooms benefits from a wonderful balcony where you can enjoy the countryside to seaside views.  The property also has a cosy family 'dorm' bedroom, featuring two single beds and two double bunk beds, with its own ensuite bathroom, ideal for the children. There are 2 cots which can be placed in specific bedrooms on request, and 4 highchairs available for guest use (please let us know in advance).

Close by, you’ll find The Den, a relaxed upper-floor snug area with books, games, toys, a large comfortable sofa, an ideal space for kids to unwind while adults entertain downstairs.

The spacious and stylish living room located on the ground floor has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and entertainment. Guests can enjoy the large, comfortable seating area and flatscreen television, or gather around the table tennis table for some friendly competition! Above, a disco ball and mood lighting create the perfect setting for a relaxed social evening after a day by the seaside.

Priory Coach House has a fully equipped kitchen large enough to entertain everyone, and includes everything you need for a relaxed self-catering stay. It comes complete with a hob, double oven, microwave, dishwasher, ice maker, kettle, and double wine fridge, as well as a cafetière and Nespresso coffee machine for your morning coffee. A large dining table provides ample seating for all guests to enjoy meals together. If you prefer to hire a caterer for your stay, there is plenty of space for them to work comfortably. You will also find a separate laundry room with sink, washing machine, steamer, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board on the ground floor.

Priory Coach House has a wonderful private garden, which is perfect for dining, entertaining, or simply soaking up the tranquil surroundings. From the garden, you can follow your own private path across the grounds to reach the peaceful beach. *Please note that there is an open pond on-site, so children must be supervised at all times. The boundaries of the gardens are open to encourage the local wildlife, and we recommend dogs are kept on a lead within the grounds.*

There is ample parking available for multiple vehicles, and free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the property. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, with a maximum of two dogs allowed at £25 per dog.  Unfortunately, stag parties and hen parties cannot be accepted at this property.

The charming seaside village of  Selsey is just a short distance away and can be reached either by car or on foot along the beach. Here, you’ll find independent shops and cafes. In nearby Sidlesham, you will find the renowned Crab and Lobster restaurant, which serves delicious locally caught seafood. Larger supermarkets are also nearby, and most major stores offer delivery directly to the property.

The historic cathedral city of Chichester lies only a few miles north of Church Norton. While visiting the cathedral, look out for Norton Priory, which is featured in one of its beautiful frescoes. Chichester also offers an array of boutique shops and independent restaurants — local favourites include Purchases and The Barn at Little London.

For those looking to explore further afield, the South Downs National Park and the world-famous Goodwood Estate — home to the Festival of Speed, horse racing, and the Revival Meeting — are both within a 30-minute drive.

Your friendly host lives on site in the adjacent Norton Priory, so is on hand and to help with local recommendations, food and drink deliveries, or anything you may need during your stay.
