Overview
Property code: OC-EHC47

This beautiful flint cottage in the seaside town of Eastbourne is perfect for Sussex country walks and days out exploring the coast. Located in the Old Town, there are plenty of independent shops, pubs and cafes and it’s the perfect base for family holidays by the sea. Eastbourne is the start of the South Downs Way, and you can walk right from Eastbourne Beach into the countryside. However energetic your dog, they won’t fail to be worn out!

Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a light, bright cottage that marries contemporary style with rural charm perfectly. There are lots of nooks and crannies to curl up in with a dog and a good book, and plenty of light and space. There is an open-plan living area with wooden floors. The lounge area has comfy seating and the kitchen has a family dining table next to a wood burner, set in a stunning traditional fireplace. It’s the perfect spot for relaxing after a bracing beach or downs walk. Upstairs, there are three beautifully furnished bedrooms, sleeping five in total, and a bathroom with a roll-top bath. One of the bedrooms has beautiful South Downs views.

Outside is a pretty patio garden with a table and chairs. While there is plenty to keep you busy in Eastbourne, there are lots more just a little further afield. Beachy Head, with its amazing clifftop walks and views, is just 3 miles away. The attractive secluded beach at Birling Gap, a local favourite, is 5 miles away. Or head inland to the atmospheric county town of Lewes, with its cosy pubs and quirky shops, 15 miles away, or the bustling village of Alfriston, just off the South Downs Way, 8 miles away.

Lovely cottage, well equipped and nice and clean. In a good location for the pub, shops and parks. BUT it suffers from very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours who play loud and bassy music until very late into the evening. On 4 of the 7 nights we were there the noise went on until after midnight. On the first night it was 2am before it stopped as tRead morehey had a party. Unfortunately because of this, the next time we are visiting Eastbourne we will not be booking this cottage. Hide

The cottage was really nice. Kitchen was well equipped. Sofas were comfy. We didn't sleep very well on the double bed. More because we're use to a king-size with a really thick/soft mattress. So We moved to the next room with 2 single beds and slept much better. There was less noise from outside too, our dog also preferred the quieter room. SoRead more we moved his bed there too. The cottage was in a great location with the pub waitrose pizza place and the park on our doorstep. We walked into town and along the front. Took us around 20mins to get to town. One day we walked to the station and caught a train to Brighton. That's was a great day. We also drove to Beachy Head and walked along the cliff. Was a lovely walk but a very misty day so we didnt see much. I think the cottage is a perfect getaway and would stay here again. Hide

A lovely cottage in a fab location. Facilities in the cottage are excellent and the little courtyard is charming. Comfortable beds! A small welcome pack would have been appreciated after a long journey and could be a little cleaner. Sheer curtains in twin bedroom - may be an issue if parents don't want children waking too early in the m morning Read moreand for them to be aware of neighbours' noise beforehand (we weren't bothered, but again, may be an issue for children late at night)

Many thanks for your feedback, there is a blackout roller blind in the twin bedroom

Le mnage n'tait pas trs bien fait, les matelas et les oreillers trs inconfortables mais la maison est charmante, nous avons pu faire un early check in et un late check out. La petite cours extrieure est trs mignonne, la maison est extrmement bien situe,on peut tout faire pied. Nous avons pass un excellent sjour et tout tait prvu pour accueillir 5Read more personnes et 2 petits chiens. Nous n'tions que 3 adultes mais tout est prvu si on veut venir 5. Je recommande fortement cette maison. Hide

A lovely cottage in the old town in Eastbourne. It does not have any off road parking but there was always space to park outside and in the nearest street close by as the road itself is a very narrow cul-de-sac. The open plan living and dining area is charming. The small garden area is lovely and just big enough to play ball with a dog. The stairs Read morein such an old cottage are quite steep and the bathroom is on the third floor, but there is a downstairs toilet. It was clean and comfortable Hide

The cottage was in a central location, easy parking on the road and looked stunning to the eye, unfortunately when looking deeper it was very dirty in places and overpriced.
