  • Located just 200 yards from the seafront, with easy access to South Downs National Park
Property code: EHC45

Two guests and a beloved four-pawed pal can enjoy spending quality time together in this fabulous coastal cottage. Situated in the Meads Village area of Eastbourne, just 1.5 miles from Eastbourne town centre, a stay here offers yourself and your pup a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in which to relax. The property is just a tennis ball’s throw from the beach and the South West Coast Path, an unbeatable route featuring enough epic dog walks to fill your entire getaway. Spend time exploring on two feet or four paws, always looking forward to coming home and relaxing in your fisherman’s cottage at each day's end.

The bijou cottage is traditionally appointed with stylish accents and original features, including a handsome ornamental fireplace in the bedroom. A functional gas fire can also be found in the lounge, creating an effortlessly cosy place to put your feet up and let Rover curl up at your heel. Next to the lounge sits a kitchen complete with everything you need to prepare human and canine dinners and access to the rear courtyard. The courtyard is entirely enclosed, so feel free to step out with your morning coffee whilst your pup stretches its legs. Back inside, take a curled staircase up to the first floor to find a bedroom and a bathroom. The bathroom features a bath in which you can soak any aching muscles after long days of lobbing tennis balls.

Take the short walk into town via the seafront, admiring the hordes of people sunbathing and swimming from the pebbled shores. An extremely canine-compatible holiday destination, you’ll find Eastbourne and Holywell beaches dog-friendly year-round and plenty of pubs in the town will welcome your pup with a warm smile. Nearby, visit the marvellous location of Beachy Head (2 miles), the UK’s highest chalk cliff and part of the majestic South Downs National Park.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was small but cosy and had a nice feel about it. The location was superb, by the seafront, the downs and a good selection of local shops and eating places. We only had to walk a couple of hundred yards or less for our evening meals out. Central Eastbourne was a five minute drive away but was dissappointing and did nRead moreot live up to our expectations. Other locations such as Lewes, Rye and Pevensy Castle were not far away and were interesting visits. Hide

Perfect location for participating in the Beachy Head Marathon! Parking was easy, handy walk to convenient shops and a nearby park (although further from the beach than we anticipated). Comfortable for two and a dog for a short stay.
