Cosy, spacious house. Rooms were good size. Having 3 bathrooms was excellent with 3 teenagers.

The house was stunning and very well equipped. It was lovely and spacious, and a perfect size for our 3 families, which comprised of 5 adults and 5 children, and it was beautifully and tastefully decorated . The little touches - like the extras that awaited us on the kitchen table - were thoughtful and very much appreciated. The kids loved the cinema/games room, and the dolls house in one of the bedrooms; while the grown ups loved the surround sound in the kitchen (and what a fabulous kitchen it is!), and relaxing in the huge sofa in the living room. The beds were comfortable too. There were just a couple of minor issues with a couple of pieces of equipment in the house, which I've relayed to the owners, but on the whole, the house is wonderful. It's fabulous location too - the beach is just a minute's walk away. There were loads of local places to eat (or buy a takeaway), and there's loads to do in Hastings, which is just a stones throw away. We'd definitely recommend the accommodation, and hope to come again!

A beautiful house within 5 minutes of the beach and on street parking . Spacious and comfortable , with small outdoor area at the rear . The housekeeper responded quickly to a couple of issues that we had , unfortunately , it being a bank holiday weekend these couldn’t be rectified. A lovely period property
