We stayed for a weekend with family. The property was ideal for a multigenerational group. We liked the fact that there are lots of bathrooms and it has good cooking facilities. Right on the beach, it is light and airy. Excellent location.

It sounds like you had a fantastic time with your two families during your three-week stay in our house! We're delighted that you chose to spend your vacation with us and that you enjoyed your time here. If you ever decide to return for another getaway, we'd be thrilled to welcome you back for more memorable moments. Safe travels back to the continent, and until we meet again!
Having the beach as the back garden was perfect for our three boys who spent so much time throwing stones in the sea, kayaking and chasing waves. The house is very quiet and peaceful and the beds super comfortable. Plenty of space for our family of 5 plus grandparents, and the space upstairs with games came in handy too.
We went into Eastbourne a couple of times, visited the castle and had fish and chips from roses down the road which we recommend.
And if you want an amazing curry, it's worth going to the Chilli Tree in Bexhill about 15 minutes away, best curry we've had in a while!
Overall a really fun and peaceful place to spend a few days.

A week away
Great location on the sea front but isolated for public transport. Bus is 30 mins walk but has pubs and food also within that walk distance.
Property has all you need although some areas need a replacement review.
Good position for Eastbourne and Hastings and local seaside bays if you are a sight seeing person.
Watch where you walk on the beach as some poor dog owners don’t clean up after th.

Great view of the sea from the back of the villa. Nice, clean beach house. Fabulous views, peaceful.
Kayak and life jackets a pleasant surprise however the wind didn’t allow us this time…. Wee we’re here for 3 nights however I would recommend at least a full week break.
Plenty of car parking, 2 off street and 1 in garage.
A+++++ well recommended.

Beautiful location, excellent property, catering for all ages
Property layout works really well, with panoramic views at both front & back.
Having 5 bedrooms & bathrooms made the whole stay very luxurious.
Kitchen & utility room were also very good for a stay by the beach.
Checkin & out was made very simple.
Kayak was an added bonus
We all had a great time, capturing many happy memories for the future, with near by warm pool hire, farm for young kids, castle / town only a short drive away.
We all recommended this property, was worth the money
