A cosy cottage
This is a well appointed cottage, nicely decorated and very clean. The property manager was very helpful when there was a small problem with a window. The area is ideal for exploring the South Downs and Eastbourne itself. The nearby Pilot Inn was eccentric

Comfortable, cozy coastal get away
The house is small but has all you need. Easy to find, easy access via a safe key box. Comfort and coziness are this house and a closed in garden, great for both us humans and dogs alike. The beds are super comfy, the kitchen is a great space to sit in; to chat, eat and drink. Short walk to the beach with a cafe on route. It was a steep walk back from the beach but definitely worth it. You have parking outside the house, even though it’s very quiet there (ideal!), parking spaces go quickly, so you may need to park down the road. There’s a Tesco express, only a very short walk away, and it’s open til 11pm. Overall a great stay. Would definitely book again.

Good times in Eastbourne
Great location, good house just as expected and shown. Great for parents and two kids visiting grandparents in Eastbourne. Short walk to the beach, Tesco, and Pilot pub. Just what we needed. Would recommend, and would book again!

Comfortable cottage
The cottage is ideally located in Meads village for shops and eating out particularly at the Pilot opposite. Whilst the cottage is well equipped and comfortable it looks tired and in need of some maintenance. Lost signal for tv and unable to reconnect so left 2 messages but got no response so remained not working for the majority of our stay . Struggled with the opening the front door every time we returned to the property . Enjoyed our stay and had some lovely days out .

Nice cottage in superb location
A typical Tony terraced cottage with a comfortable living room and a modern kitchen. Serviceable bathrooms. The location is outstanding for the seafront, access to the Downs, Meads Village, and the exceptional Pilot public house.

Sehr einfache Unterkunft
Es hat in der Wohnung nach Hund gerochen. Auch sonst war es sehr schlecht gereinigt. Internet war weniger als 1 Mbit und daher schlecht nutzbar. Türschloss herausfordernd. Sehr minderwertige Ausstattung. Im Vergleich ist diese Wohnung viel zu teuer.
