The home makes an idyllic retreat, perfect for those who are looking to escape the hustle and bustle and spend time enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Snow Goose has been lovingly designed with high attention to detail and boasts beautiful interiors and elegant furnishings throughout. The home can comfortably accommodate up to nine guests across its five well-appointed bedrooms.  On the ground floor is the main entertaining space, the adults will enjoy snuggling up next to the fire in the living room while the children will enjoy fun movie nights in the cinema room. The kitchen is fully-equipped and possesses all the tools a budding chef could possibly need while the dining room makes the perfect place for the whole gang to gather and discuss the days highlights!

Upstairs on the first floor are the five bedrooms. The master bedroom comes complete with super king-size bed, a private balcony where guests can enjoy the countryside views and a luxury en-suite bathroom which boasts a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. The remaining four bedrooms, a king-size double, two twin rooms and a single room, share the use of two family shower rooms.

    Thank you for letting us experience your wonderful house.
    We had an amazing few days with the family for our 60 th Wedding Anniversary.
    Snow Goose is beautiful the views are amazing and we have been exploring too.
    Had lovely meals at The Crown and Anchor and the Bosham Inn.
    We didn’t want to leave and hope to visit again!

  • Another lovely stay here

    on 16/09/2024

    Another lovely stay here, we had a relaxing family get together after working hard for ages.
    We hope to see you again in the future, you always provide such good weather, like the last few days...

  • Hope to return next year.

    on 06/09/2024

    With a heavy heart we are leaving. Another tow weeks of relaxation, beautiful surroundings and nature.
    Took some good pictures of the bats that visit the garden each evening and of course the swans.
    Hope to return next year.

  • TThe best is the house itself

    Created on 19/08/2024

    Thank you again for a really wonderful week at Snow Goose - lots of familiar sights and experiences, plus a few new ones for us this time with the children, including Fishbourne and Petersfield (for the peggy Guggenheim)
    But the best is the house itself with its magnificent views, relaxing feeling and expanse of sky and water and air.
    To the next time (we hope!)

  • What a wonderful and happy few days

    on 18/07/2024

    What a wonderful and happy few days we have enjoyed with you all, an action packed schedule! Catching crabs, strawberry picking and visiting West Wittering. We have all had a magical time, thank you so much.
    Looking forward to our next trip already!

  • A wonderful time staying here

    on 22/05/2024

    We have had a wonderful time staying here in this lovely house. We have been staying here with our family as our son was getting married in Bosham church.
    Our four kids and partners enjoyed staying here immensely.
    The house is very comfortable, has the most beautiful views. Lovely outside spaces and walks nearby.
    The house is beautifully furnished - such a lovely style. Everything we need for cooking entertaining and relaxing at hand.
    We have had the most amazing time. Our son's wedding week will be very memorable[e and Snow Goose will be part of those memories. Thank you.

  • A beautiful house

    on 29/04/2024

    Thank you so much for making our stay super special and giving us this opportunity to enjoy your beautiful house.
    The view from every window is enchanting and we particularly loved bird watching though the binoculus!
    We have all had a magical time and we can't wait to return ns make more memories!
    The beds are so cosy and decor is stunning!

  • Adorable

    Created on 06/04/2024

    The beds were so comfy! I loved my room, the library and the adorable rooms through-out the house. My family and my dog "Coconut" enjoyed walking in the mud. My nanna even did some with us. Many thanks.

  • Here again - never looses its magic

    on 23/03/2024

    Gosh! Here again - never looses its magic. The sun room - gives such calm pleasure as you watch the tide. This year we were treated to a deer in the garden - the hedgerows in blossom. The house as always is comfortable more than a home from home. Luxurious and full of fun interior decoration bits.
    The week as usual went too quickly - but we packed a lot in.
    Chichester, Birdwatching, Golf Experience, Climbing. Kayaking (sea) - to see the seals. Coffee shops - Art shops and more.
    We would be so grateful if we could come again - family time has a new meaning at Snow Goose.

  • Gorgeous House

    on 17/02/2024

    The most gorgeous house ever! Our favourite part was sitting in the sun room and watching the birds through binoculars or reading; it's been so peaceful and calming and a lovely break. The beds were comfortable and watching a movie in the snug was so cosy. We went on lots of lovely walks and the house was warm on our return. A week here goes by so quickly, but it was a great return visit!

  • Perfectly Named

    on 28/12/2023

    A wonderful stay at the Snow Goose, perfectly named after all the wonderful wild birds that were able to experience. The weather was dominated by Storm Gerrit, with 50+mph winds, but we felt so snug and comfortable by the fire, like a goose in her nest.

  • Delightful house

    on 18/08/2023

    We were very impressed with the staff at Oliver's Travels who were very proactive and helpful about our trip. The house we rented was indeed delightful, very well equipped and totally lived up to expectations. We'll definitely go through Oliver's Travels again.

  • Wonderful

    Created on 18/08/2023

    Both our families have had a wonderfully relaxing and extremely fun stay at Snow Goose.
    What a stunning house it is! And the view from all sides is stunning. Thank you for your toughtfullness in so many useful things for our two babies and children, who all fell totally at home.
    It was the 3rd or 4th time for some of us and the first for others, and we all hope dearly to come back again!

  • Our thrid visit at Snow Goose!

    on 11/08/2023

    This is our third visit at the wonderful Snow Goose house, everytime is better - we love it here!
    Thank you for making our stay so comfortable and welcoming us so warmly.

  • What a wonderful week we've had!

    on 04/08/2023

    A beautifully presented and toughtfully equipped house - we had all we could have wanted. Long, lazy mornings drinking coffee in the garden and cosy, noisy evenings around the table, on the sofas and watching movies. We had lovely walks with the dog and a fab last meal at the Anchor Bleu!
    Thank you, Snow Goose, for a lovely week - and thank you Wendy for your help and warmest welcome!

  • Absolutely wonderful

    on 31/07/2023

    We won't cheat by using AI to come up with a way of saying Thank You for an absolutely wonderful stay!
    Hopefully the first of many...

  • A perfect holiday

    Created on 28/07/2023

    A Snow Goose flew to Bosham one day,
    to escape the cold and concrete grey,
    she found a cosy spot by the shore,
    to rest and eat and explore,
    to enjoy the sun and the spray
    and a perfect holiday!

  • Views!

    on 03/03/2023

    We loved the stunning views, lots of great to sit and birdwatch and just unwind from city life.
    Thanks for making it such an easy place to enjoy with friends and family.

  • Second visit

    on 17/02/2023

    We loved out second visit to Snow Goose, a year later even more! A wonderful house for two families with stunning views and places to explore. Really must come when it is warmer next time and I will get in the water!

  • Simply wonderful

    Created on 30/10/2022

    Wonderful stay - Such fun in the kayaks and paddleboards and swimming too! Unbeatable views, so peaceful to look at, whatever the weather. Spectacular thunderstorms and sunshine too. Great Ornithological walk with Hugh around Chichester Harbour - such a beautiful place to explore. Thank you!

  • Our fourth stay!

    on 20/09/2022

    A relaxing two weeks in this fantastic house. Amazing views and luckily, weather. Our 4th visit, but, hopefully not our last. Thank you!

  • Thank you

    Created on 31/07/2022

    We had an amazing three week stay at Snow Goose. What a beautiful location and house! Thanks for having us! Looking forward to returning at some point in the future. Many thanks!

  • Incredible views!
