Cosy

convenient for Glynbourne

Needs some TLC. Not as clean as one would expect. Entrance area littered with old tissues and disposable cutlery which had obviously been there some time. Garden untidy.

There was no breakfast provided at all we had expected some basic supplies

No toiletries in shower Owners stated they don’t provide them Work top in kitchen chipped

Cute location. Kids bedroom is the upstairs room and it feels like they are at the “top of the castle” in their words. Whole property has a cottage vibe which we loved. Love the stable door. Cute confined back garden off the main bedroom. Beds were very comfy. Shower was fab and there was a cute welcome basket style of tea, milk, cookies for the family which was a nice touch. Owners were also amazing with contact and helping us when we couldn’t initially find the property.

Wardrobe in upstairs room was broken and Booking.com directions are incorrect so had to contact owners who were super lovely and gave us the right post code etc.

Thoughtfulness of the owner in providing everything needed for a pleasant stay Value for money

Cannot think of anything

Our host was nice and friendly. The cottage was located in a beautiful area and was peaceful. The location was ideal for visiting family who lived near by in Newhaven.

The cottage had a single bathroom with toilet and shower. The cleaner may need some supervision in this area. The shower track was gruesome! We found the toilet and dool had the remains of other people's hair, not from the head. I cleaned it well before use. I was too embarrassed for the host as she pays a cleaner!! The bed is OK for couple of nights but uncomfortable for a long stay. We were also asked to pay an extra 50 pounds towards heating for the duration of our stay. My husband was irritated as we were not told of this when booking.

The front of the property looked lovely and there was ample on road parking. The kitchen had everything we needed, a fridge/freezer, washing machine, kettle, dishwasher, microwave, oven and a hob. The sofas were comfy and leather which is good that we have dogs. The welcome pack was OK and had some biscuits, tea and coffee and milk. The main bedroom is downstairs which was nice with doors opening to the garden. Upstairs were two twin beds. It had a baby gate which was useful. A lot of people have complained about the road noise, but it didn't overly bother us to be honest. Yes the property is behind a main road but the surroundings in front are lovely. Being winter we didn't sit outside so didn't bother us too much. The garden is dog safe.

The cleanliness of the property was not great. The bathroom has black mould around the whole bottom rim of the shower screen/door and then all over the wall and floor between the sink and shower. There was an empty bottle of hand-wash in the bathroom and nothing else to use. For some reason there was a manky old sock hanging over our bedroom door. The sofas were comfy, but I was sitting in the arm chair and went to pick something up that i had dropped down the side of the chair and there was so much crud and rubbish around the seat cushion. There was even a set of nail clippers (amongst lots of other nasties). The stairs and upstairs carpet need a good clean. It was comfortable enough and good for the dogs but I would not stay for more than one/two nights and not again. It needs a thorough clean and some love.
