Would you like to spend time in West Sussex, England? Our comfortable and bright fisherman’s cottage is one block from the ocean in the West Side of Royal Bognor (King George V came to convalesce during 1929, the King and Queen actually staying at Craigwell House in Aldwick; as a result, the King bestowed the Regis suffix on Bognor) in one of the most picturesque rural counties in the south. Bognor Regis is the sunniest location in the UK, according to the Met Office, enjoying 1,902 hours of sunshine every year.
