There was lots of room for us...parking! There was a great outdoor space. Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating all the time. Lots of foot traffic, but a quiet street. Perfect location for site seeing. Several places to walk to, to eat dinner. Easy walk to beach and walk to see the seven sisters.

The Lambs Knees is the best holiday home you could ask for when traveling with children. The house has everything you need (and more!) and Laura was incredibly accommodating to all our needs, including an impromptu check-out extension as our 1 year old was taking an exceptionally long nap - a testament to how comfortable her room and cot was! Our visit to the UK has brought us to other hotels, all of which pale in comparison to The Lambs Knees. Thank you so much for the generosity and flexibility, Laura - we (Pippa especially) appreciate everything! Xx The Andrews Family

Lovely period house, very clean, lots of room and perfectly placed gor walking to the town ( 2 mins) and beach (4-5) mins. Had the added benefit of an off street parking space right next to the house. Laura our host was extremely helpful and responsive before, during and after the booking. She had carefully laid out a wealth of information about where to go, what to see, where to eat - better than any host of any accommodation we have stayed at previously. I would highly recommend this accommodation!

Laura and Ian are absolutely wonderful and very dilligent hosts and could not do enough to truly welcome us making sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent communication too! There are so many helpful baby/child items in the house too it really does take the stress out of having to bring them yourself. Plus the playroom is the loveliest we've experienced - neatly stocked full of toys and books for every age. :) It allowed us to have child visitors who could play together in a safe and happy environment. It is all child gated. The home itself is simply beautiful with lots of fabulous Victorian features while still being chic and modern, spacious and very warm and cosy. No Victorian drafts here! This was our first family trip to Seaford and, despite the rain, we shall never forget what a wonderful time we had there and will certainly be coming back again one day. Ideal location too so you can potter about in the town or head to the promenade...just a few minutes walk away. Thank you Laura and Ian for making our New Year so very welcoming and special (and keeping that lovely Christmas tree up!) The welcome pack full of delicious treats was very welcome too. :)
