  The property is a really lovely well equipped cottage with everything needed and very comfortable apart from the bed.

  We found it small and would suggest it needs to be changed to a kingsize bed. The pub next door was really lovely, We were given a very warm welcome and we enjoyed all our meals except on the first night my husbands steak & Kideny pudding was served ice cold.This was soon put right. Curry night on Monday was a really good deal and great curry. The staff were all, without exception, very friendly and helpful. On the first night my husband reported the TV in the bedroom wasn't working because the aerial was missing plus the cooker hood was filthy. Neither of these was corrected. The shower attachment on the wall is loose and needs attention. I notice from other feedback the garden needs attention. We agree it is full of weeds and no flowers. My final comment would be that this lovely cottage is by a busy main road during the week and traffic noise woke us both around 6am. We read all the previous comments before we booked and this was not mentioned. Had it been mentioned I am afraid we would not have booked it,

  This property was not what we were expecting as described on the Sykes website.

  We were greeted by the owner, who was very welcoming and the cottage appeared ok on arrival. However, there were several aspects that have left us extremely disappointed with our stay: 1. We found the shower to be grubby and woodlice on the cubilcle floor - so we did not use it. 2. The settee was very low, well worn and stained on the arms. The covering blankets smelt musty. 3. The windows were difficult to open and the wooden frames are rotting away. 4.One of the electric fires had a faulty on/off button and did not work. 5. Kitchen equipment was well worn - saucepan and frying pan badly scratched - and we had to wash everything before using. 6. Woodlice, slugs and a worm were found in the kitchen, by the sink area, on the floor and back door throughout our stay. 7. Overall the property needs a good spruce up and problems raised above need addressing We felt that the description of the *cottage on your site was misleading and that on this occasion the fee we paid was excessive for this property.

  This was our third stay at Standard Hill Cottage.

  A lovely quiet setting in a very convenient location for exploring the local area and eateries. We cooked two simple pasta meals at the cottage during our stay, having pre planned to eat out at other times. The Red Lion in nearby Hooe is a favourite and we discovered Pierre Bistrot and The Pilot, both in Eastbourne on fhis visit too. The gardens at Herstmonceux Castle are constantly changing with the seasons so it was lovely to see them in April this year. Whilst it’s lovely to be out and about it’s also so to come back to somewhere that feels welcoming and homely and we feel both welcomed and at home at Standard Hill Cottage. Mary, the owner of the large house in whose grounds the cottage sits is unobtrusively on hand if needed. And the large gardens and adjoining fields and wooded area are there to enjoy for those more active than us. All being well another visit is definitely in the cards.

  Really enjoyed our stay at White Hart Stables.

  Really well equipped,everything you could want for your stay. Shop with post office facilities and bus stop 30m away. Dog friendly. Two big tvs, one in lounge one in bedroom with sky. Good rainfall shower, big fridge freezer, fully enclosed (by new fencing) back garden with furniture however, could do with tidying up to bring it in line with the rest of the property. Bed very soft with dips really could do with a new mattress. The pub next door own the cottage and I must say it's a great little local pub, really well looked after and the staff are all fantastic, a really slick team, the food is great with decent portions and prices. We ate there three times and enjoyed it every time. They have a lovely sunny little garden out the front too. Really great location for exploring Sussex and surrounding areas. On the 1066 walking route.

  Standard Hill Cottage is tucked at the side of the owners large house and gives out onto a large and mature garden space with a lot of well cut grass.

  It’s just lovely to open the curtains in the morning after a very dark and peaceful nights sleep and see nature on your doorstep. Then sit with a coffee outside. The cottage has everything that’s needed and Mary the lovely owner whose there but unobtrusive unless needed is more than willing to assist in making your stay as good as possible. The cottages location gives easy access to the local area. And some good pubs and restaurants. The Red Lion in Hooe is worthy of note as is the Sovereign Marina between Pevensey Bay and Eastbourne. Here you’ll find an Asda, petrol station Boots, M&S, and other stores alongside the many restaurants and cafes etc around the marina itself. Parking is free here too and ideal for anyone with mobility or access issues. This was our second visit to Standard Hill and I hope not our last
