Downs Gate Cottage

Great location. Dog friendly.

A little bit tired in places.

The location near pilot inn, meads shops, beach, great dog walking and easy access to town.

The window in the en-suite bathroom was permanently open- looked like it has been broken for a while. It was cold outside, strong winds and so having an open window meant draught through house and doors rattled through the night. Most of the internal doors in the house don’t fit properly or the handles squeak (where’s the oil!) or in the case of the main bedroom door it doesn’t close! Which is v annoying for privacy and draught/ wind rattling. The heating was v limited is the timer out? The shower head over bath flops as you use it. The floors all need a good scrub. The kitchen crockery/cutlery/utensils just had an air of mismatch/grubby. Everything in the house was OK/adequate. But it could so easily be really nice with a spruce up. It was expensive at over £500 for three nights for what it is. Suggestion: the owner sleeps in the house for a couple of nights with some friends…

location superb. two bed, two bathrooms, two toilet. small garden, great for dogs owners. wardrobe space, linen and towels provided. permits offered for 1.50 a day, very reasonable.

unclean in areas. mainly dust in areas and marks on light switches. Vents particularly need dusting. The bathroom mirror hadn’t been cleaned in the shower room upon arrival.

Good location near to beach.

Cleaning issues - floors were dirty

Cosy home from home in a quiet location with good amenities and comfy beds. Great location five minutes from the sea and a 25 minute coastal stroll into Eastbourne. The Pilot pub is across the road from the cottage they serve good food with great service.

Nothing to dislike

Cottage had everything we needed for a family of four. Great to have a front and back garden to sit in, plus aconservatory.
