A GEM OF A FIND
An absolutely stunning property to celebrate the New Year with friends. Location was perfect, a 5 minute stroll into town and a two minute walk to the beach. We chilled and re-charged and felt so at home here. It was so nice of Charlotte to supply a bottle of bubbly and some chocolate for us with a HNY card, such a lovely touch and most welcomed. Thank you again.

Christmas stay
6 adults and 2 dogs enjoyed Christmas at Lumiere. Host was excellent providing all information we needed for cooking our turkey in the Aga. Unfortunately heating did not work host was great immediately sourcing a plumber even at Christmas. Heating could not be fixed we were offered alternative accommodation but chose to stay at Lumiere using immersion for our hot water. Would recommend host & accommodation to our friends

Fabulous!
Stunning property, clean, cosy and comfy. Beds were super comfy and kitchen wise there was everything you could possibly need - we even worked out how to cook using the aga thanks to the excellent instructions. Lumiere is in a great location, so close to the beach and the pub. We tried all the local restaurants and Wittering has all the shops you could need. All in all a wonderful week.
