  We very much enjoyed our stay in the property.

  It is compact but there's plenty of storage space. It's clean and tidy and everything looks new(ish). There are two allocated parking spaces which was important to me - when I retired I spent far more than I should have on a car and I am very particular (paranoid according to my wife) where I park it. The shower is amazing and easy to use. I am not sure I can describe it adequately - you have to see it for yourself really. We ate out every night at the Sovereign Harbour which is about 15 minutes walk at a reasonable pace. There's loads of choice including Indian, Thai, Turkish, Italian, Mediterranean, Kebab/burger/fish and chips, and a Harvester. I can definitely recommend the Indian and Turkish restaurants. There is also a pub which is a sports bar which is very lively. This suited us but might not be everyone's cup of tea. Eastbourne is a little further away than we were comfortable walking so we used the local bus service. Fortunately there is a bus stop only about 50 yards from the property where you can catch the number 5A service. Unfortunately the service is not very frequent and on two occasions a bus was cancelled leaving us to wait another 30 minutes. You can take other services (3 or 4 different services in all I think so quite frequent) but these go to and from the supermarket just beyond that Sovereign Harbour restaurant area so it's about a 20 minute walk each way. Other than the cancelation mentioned, the services seem quite good and on time. Our bus passes from our home town of Gloucester worked and so we were able to travel free of charge. We have no plans to go back to Eastbourne because there are so many other places to visit but if we did we would happily book this property again.

  An absolutely wonderful time!

  The house was perfect throughout our month long stay. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for any meal we wanted to prepare. The living room was cozy and well decorated. Upstairs was also clean and tidy. Both bedrooms were lovely and had very comfy beds. The smaller room is a tad too small to walk around or place many belongings but with the amount of storage space in the main bedroom (and the top bunk), it was not a problem. Finally, the bathroom was great as well with a wonderful (and already much missed) rain shower in the ceiling. If pressed for any negatives, the only things we would say is that the water tank can make some noise in the night, and that the hot water didn't last all too long, but nothing too bad at all. Overall a wonderfuly comfortable stay and we hope to be back one day soon!

  The house is small but absolutely lovely.

  It is very clean, contemporary and comfortable, with lots of modern conveniences; a really nice place to stay and come back to each day. It is in a lovely, quiet area, but close to everything we wanted to explore. We were made to feel very welcome by the home owners, who provided us with milk, chocolate cake and even prosecco! All very much appreciated. The locals in the neighbouring houses were also very polite and friendly, putting us at ease. It does have a hot water tank, so we needed to be careful we didn't use too much hot water before the last person showered. It would have been good to have a little bin in the bathroom as well.

  This small house is very comfortable, clean and modern with everything we needed provided.

  Especially liked the shower, comfy bed and modern kitchen. There are two good parking spaces.The position is great: near to the sea and a five mile long promenade. Also close by is a lovely harbour and marina with bars and restaurants. There are plenty of buses and trains from the town; every 10 minutes to Brighton or 20 minutes to Hastings. There are lots of places to visit by car. We also walked the spectacular Seven Sisters cliffs and Beachy Head. It makes a very good location for any time of the year. We felt welcome from the start by considerate hosts and neighbours. There was a generous welcome pack. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

  Lovely little house which was very clean and very well equipped with regards to using the kitchen.

  We always hire self catering properties and found this one probably the best especially with regards to cupboard storage space and everything needed for cooking. The location suited us and we found that we were easily able to get a bus into town (one per hour throughout the day) and free of course with our bus passes. We did use the car sometimes and the car parking charges were fair. A 15 minute to the marina where there were lots of places to drink and eat on the occasion we decided not to cook was nice and The Portlands was indeed a quiet area as mentioned in the property description.
