Overview
Property code: OC-EHC09

This cottage was designed with relaxation in mind, so if you’re after an action-packed family holiday with a comfortable property to return to then look no further. There is plenty of room in this cottage, it sleeps up to five people and even welcomes two furry companions along for the adventure. Located in Meads Village, just 1 mile outside of Eastbourne town centre, this property is in a great place for country walks and seaside stick throwing.

The property is light and airy with the bay window in the lounge bringing natural light all the way through to the dining area, which has a bookcase that has been thoughtfully filled for your trip. Head outside to the enclosed rear garden and get lost in a book in the evening sunshine before cooking up a tasty treat in the well-equipped kitchen. Decorated throughout with neutral tones, the cottage feels lovely and spacious. Rustic furnishings compliment the wooden flooring in the lounge area and upstairs in the bedrooms. There is a WC on the ground floor which doubles as a cloakroom, providing the perfect place to store leads and mucky boots following those countryside walkies.

The Meads area of Eastbourne boasts an array of eateries, shops and pubs, and 1.5 miles from the centre are Gildridge Park and Manor Gardens, two public parks with a sensory garden, children’s playground and free sports courts to enjoy. Beachy Head is just 3.5 miles away and is well worth a visit being the highest sea cliff in Britain. The heart of the South Downs National Park is a short 6.5 miles away by car, providing stunning walking routes and plenty of sticks for your four-legged friends to chase.

The location of the house is just great. Only a few steps to "The Pilot" and to the local shops. To park the car in front of the house was no problem. We liked the kitchen with the large window. Fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer - it is all there. If it had been just a little bit cleaner, there wouldn't have been any complainRead morets at all. We enjoyed our stay. Hide

We have enjoyed our holiday but the house does need a lot of updating, mould patches in shower, dust under beds, wallpaper peeling, stains on king size mattress, pillows and duvets too thin and poor quality, no where to hang coats (coat rail on floor in hallway) internal doors need safety glass, interior patio area untidy and needs sweeping. With aRead morell these considerations I think the property is overpriced. Unless it was upgraded and for the same price we would not return or recommend. Hide

We enjoyed our stay, but there were a few things I would improve. I think we should have been told about the large number of stairs in the property and that you had to go down 5 and up a steep oneRead more to get to the loo from the bedrooms The garden was poorly maintained with lots of weeds. The decor needed upgrading to get a better rating. The downstairs loo had no window or extractor fan. .Kitchen and bathroom were fine. Good area, felt safe. Parking was a nuisance as expected.

The cottage is dated and needs some tlc, but is easily the most comfortable of the four different cottages we have stayed at in Meads Street. We would always look for this cottage first, in future.

Everything was as we expected and we had a lovely relaxing week over Christmas. Enjoyed the Pilot Inn in the doorstep and walking distance to local shops.
