Dog Friendly East Sussex Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  A fantastic stay in this property.

  We were made to feel special straight away with the welcome basket. A warm, cosy, original cottage in the heart of the friendly old town. Amenities close to hand and a great base for sight seeing/ visiting old haunts. Clean & well maintained. Cosy beds, great kitchen, cute living space, lovely bathroom ( great first a pamper) and plush carpet. Useful feedback: Kitchen: Would benefit from a tin opener/ bottle opener, waste food recycling bin, glass recycling bin outside and a sieve. Left hand tap handle kept falling off. Living room: instruction folder for telly, heating and microwave. Comments book & a lamp (for subdued lighting in evening). We used two from upstairs and made it feel even more cosy. We were there when bad weather struck so lots of cold air coming in under front door. Optional draft excluder may help in winter months. We know this is a new holiday rental and is work in progress so this is why we have added more suggestions. For me, my sister, two girls and a dog this was a fantastic property and nice to see a different aspect of the old town. Our grandparents used to live in Eastbourne and this break helped us say goodbye.

  The house was very comfy - great lounge for relaxing of an evening - with plenty of sofa space for two adults and two grown up children. Fantastically well equipped kitchen with every utensil you could need! The garden is beautiful and had lots of lovely seating areas and nice outdoor dining furniture. The sauna and hot tub were great and were fun to relax in when we had a rainy day. The area/location is gorgeous - the countryside is so very pretty. We loved Pevensey Bay and the coastline along there in the direction of Eastbourne. Our son enjoyed fishing at Horam (very inexpensive day passes). Scotney Castle and Bateman’s were superb National Trust properties and we spent many happy hours there. The hotel/pub/restaurant ‘The Middle House’ in Mayfield is fantastic (the pies were delicious) and has stunning views. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed woodland walks. We had such a lovely week in this relaxing quiet space.

  We stayed for 10 days with our dog and found this cottage excellent for all our needs.

  Very clean and everything provided to make it a comfortable stay. There is a patio area where you can sit out which is quite a sun trap in the afternoon. We also received a welcome pack which was really kind. The location in the old town is really nice close to a supermarket, a few pubs, two of which were really lovely, The Lamb and The Rainbow which are good for food and drinks and also dog friendly. A few minutes walk away is a lovely big park. Eastbourne is a very nice seaside town with a lovely promenade if you like to walk, and plenty of shops. A good place to stay if you like to do a bit of sight seeing, we visited Herstmonceux Castle, Hastings, Peveney, Brighton and Battle. You can walk to Beachy Head from Eastbourne along the coastal path. We did have great weather which also contributed to our lovely holiday.

  We found the property very spacious for a family of four. A lovely tiered garden that captures plenty of sun, a clean large usable patio set (with foot stalls), and a small table and chairs at the top of the garden, ideal for a sunrise cuppa and toast. We loved the clean through lounge that had a couple of sofas and two big chairs, plus a large dining table and six chairs, all whilst feeling uncluttered and open. I personally found the slow draining shower a bit of an issue as we thought a long shower could lead to flooding in the bathroom, it would be great if the owner checked if that could be improved. In the kitchen the cutlery, cookware, crockery, kettle, fridge, cups and glasses were all refreshingly clean. All in all a great stay and would definitely book again.

  Despite previous guests making comments, there are still items lacking in the kitchen: corkscrew, spatula, ladle, oven proof casserole would all be welcome.

  The grill pan was greasy and all mugs were unwashed. The hand soap dispenser was empty in bathroom, and no bin. The sheets and duvet cover are unpleasant polyester cotton, with stained mattress covers and one pillowcase was badly marked. The front bedroom would benefit from a curtain due to lights on overnight in antique shop opposite. There is little storage in second bedroom and tins of paint in one cupboard alongside extra pillows (already 4 provided) and covers in the front bedroom. The hot water thermostat is set too high and could scale someone. Already others have mentioned the bathtub issue, it could be solved with circular shower curtain and head fixed to wall. Overall disappointed with the facilities and cleanliness.
