Warm welcome
Outstanding property fully equipped and with lots of little goodies. It was our second stay at the property, and we’d come back any time. Just a hint: the chairs at the dining room need some review. This being said: Bosham is outstanding, and the Millstream Cottage is as well.

Really enjoyed our stay…
Perfect for our visit. We particularly enjoyed sitting and having our coffee in the courtyard and exploring Bosham which is a lovely little village. The check in process was very easy. No parking at the property and the day we arrived it was busy in the car park and no street parking available. We were able to leave our car at our friends house in Chidham and taxi about and then move the car to the car park early morning before everyone got there.

Chocolate box village and well presented cottage
Located in the pretty little village of Bosham (pronounced Boxem), we stayed at the lovely Millstream Cottage which exceed all of our expectations. Paula the host has thought of everything that you could possibly need on your stay and more; from a large selection of world teas, coffee machine with capsules, popcorn maker, board games, picnic hamper, great welcome pack, kitchen amenities, bubble bath, pens and writing paper, little instructions manuals for all key equipment..... the list goes on. This is probably the most well thought out and equipped property that we have stayed at and we stay at a lot of places. I'd highly recommend staying in this lovely cottage and beautiful village especially if you'd like to get a vibe of the Cameron Diaz movie 'The Holiday'.

About the host

Hosted by Paula

Host profile image
I have been offering luxury holiday accommodations since 1999, with properties in Paris, the South of France, London and Napa Valley, California -- and now Bosham. Residential design and decor is my passion, and I strive to provide dwelling places that are more expressive, more beautiful, more comfortable than most vacation rentals. I live part-time in all these places. So each functions as a personal 'home' -- not just an impersonal rental property. So there are many things, both big and small -- from a Internet-enabled home-theatre entertainment system with surround sound, whirlpool bath, blender for smoothies and cocktails to crystal glassware -- that are not usually found in properties that are used exclusively as rentals. The hallmark of each residence is its personal style, which reflects its unique character and location. For example, the millstream cottage is with a color palate of sea/sky and a mix of contemporary and antique furnishings to reflect the charms of yesteryear and the comforts of today. My philosophy is that I would never rent a property that I would not stay in myself. So, putting myself into my guests’ shoes, I strive to 'think of everything'- to make your stay a most positive and memorable experience.
