About the host
Hosted by Carl & Sarah Stanger at Exclusively Eastbourne
Exclusively Eastbourne was set up by husband and wife, Carl and Sarah Stanger, after they recognised the need for high quality self catering accommodation on Eastbourne.
Both Carl and Sarah have travelled extensively, lived abroad and enjoyed (and occasionally endured) a wide spectrum of holiday and business accommodation and this experience has shaped their understanding of what makes a great holiday home.
