The Experience
The estuary is navigable for a few hours on either side of high tide so bring paddle boards, kayaks or a row boat (there is safe storage) and launch off on an adventure. At low tide the waders and protected birds gather to feed – join the tow path to get even nearer.
Admire parquet floors, a lovely sunny sitting room upstairs (with another cosier one downstairs), supremely comfortable bedrooms and a superb kitchen. It’s light, bright, beautifully thought-out and spacious with watery views from upstairs. There are also books on design, art by local artists, telescope and binoculars and old French posters and prints collected by the family. You are left a welcome hamper of local produce from the farm shop at Goodwood with all you’ll need for your first breakfast.
Beach towels are waiting, as are crabbing buckets and lines. On rainy days you’ll feel happy to be in such a gorgeous space, and you’re only 30 paces from the 16th-century Crown & Anchor.

This is my third visit to Harbour View House and each time gets better and more difficult to pack up and leave! Alison and Mike are wonderful hosts, the property is immaculate with everything you need to make this a 5 start holiday experience in the beautiful harbour of Del Quay.

Wow, wow, wow. From the moment we pulled into the gorgeous hamlet of Dell Quay, we were captivated. Harbourview House is a delight. The attention to detail exquisite and everything you need is well thought of and on hand. The decor is lovely with so many thoughtful nods to the coast and local area. Alison has thought of everything. When she met us on arrival, we felt welcomed and taken care of immediately. Walking upstairs to the living room really was a WOW moment- the views!!! 😍 The house & garden are perfect. The pub was great. Lovely local walks; such a stunning area!

A fabulous house in a stunning location! We had wonderful weekend on the 'Sussex Riviera' - beautiful walks along the estuary, swimming at Sesley, dinner at the Crab & Lobster at Pagham and several visits to the Crown & Anchor a stone's throw from the house. The accommodation is stylish, well layed out and superbly equipped with everything you need for a home from home stay. Views from the first floor sitting room & bedroom are fantastic. Alison is a very friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended.

Location
The neighbourhood
This is a very special place and right next to the Dell Quay Sailing Club. Keen walkers will want to go all the way to West Wittering on the coast path for lunch at Billy's on the Beach and then wander home again - about a three-hour trip in total. A shorter walk will take you to Chichester. There are ancient country pubs, Bosham is close and the station is a five-minute drive for trains to London.
Local points of interest from Alison & Michael Moss
- Harbour View House is on the shores of Chichester harbour - 60 paces away. Views over the water are constantly changing. No two days are the same. Watch the wonderful sunsets with glass in hand at the pub 30 paces away or from your armchair.
- With a rich Roman heritage Chichester has so much to show you. The impressive Cathedral spire will grab your attention whilst you take an elevated stroll around the city on walls built by the Romans. Stop for coffee or browse the local farmers market.
- For the greatest celebration of motorsport and car culture Goodwood is close by. The Festival of Speed and Revival Meeting never fail to deliver incredible experiences. Horse racing at stunning Goodwood racecourse is not to be missed.
- Walk along the harbourside tow path directly from the house. Stop off at Chichester Marina, The Ship Inn or the Quarterdeck for snacks . For a longer walk, the restaurant Billy’s on the Beach never fails to provide a reason to keep up the pace!
- Cycle Salterns Way straight from the house, discover the beauty of the South Downs Way. Explore historic Bosham and grab a treat from Daves ice cream van. Watch Bosham Car Wash 2 on YouTube before you go. Time and tide really don’t wait!
- Chichester Harbour is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Definitely to be admired but do get out there, get on it or in it! Try sailing, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, swimming, surfing at The Witterings or just simply walk around it

Introducing
Alison & Michael Moss
Alison is an events manager specialising in interiors for big weddings and parties. This place, her husband's family holiday home, has been a labour of love for her. Michael (an orthopaedic surgeon) is still a passionate sailor having sailed as a child and teenager here every year. Alison will meet and greet when she can, otherwise you let yourselves in. They hope you'll love it as much as they do.
We had a brilliant two weeks at Harbour View House in August this year. The house is very well thought out and so comfortable. So many different seating and dining areas - all beautifully decorated. Beds were probably, hands down, the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on in a holiday rental, with top notch bed linen too! Alison and Michael were responsive and hugely helpful providing as much information as we needed on things to do locally, local car charger points, best beaches etc. Pub and mostly beer garden across the road is excellent!
