The property is clean, bright, and stylish, with a newly refurbished garden that adds to the comfort. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is highly regarded, making it a recommended stay for families and pet owners.
Guests consistently describe the property as clean and well-maintained, with one review highlighting thorough cleaning and another praising the property's tidiness upon arrival.
The location is frequently commended for its convenience to the beach and local amenities. The proximity to Camber Sands and ease of access without a car are particularly appreciated.
The property is described as cosy, with quality bedding and a spacious master bedroom. However, one guest was disappointed with the lack of a grassy garden for their dog, which slightly impacts the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and powerful shower. However, points are deducted for the non-working washing machine and the impractical 'sun room'.
The welcome package with bread, milk, and eggs is mentioned positively, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should not expect them as a certainty.

Great house in a fantastic location, very close to the beach. We had a dog with us so we were not allowed in the section of beach opposite the property but a short walk in either direction gets you to dog friendly beach. The house is lovely and private with a sunken patio with is a real suntrap. We enjoyed having breakfast outside and also used the barbecue in the evening. The house was lovely and clean and well equipped. If the owners were to upgrade the beds, it would be perfection.

Lovely bungalow and location fantastic - 100 yards to the beach - everything you'd need, and was well equipped. There were a couple of small points which have been pointed out to the owners. Take a few of your own clothes hangers.

The property was beautiful and very clean. It had everything you need, we ate in most nights and found the kitchen well prepared with pots/pans etc. the bathrooms looked like new and the main shower was very powerful. The location was ideal and everything you could need is on your doorstep. The garden/patio area was large enough for the kids to run about on the days too windy for the beach. We will most definitely be booking again for next year. Can’t wait!!
