Guest Reviews

• Alena (8/5): Pocit z apartmánu byl celkově velmi dobrý, doporučuji. - Lokalita, pohodlí, čistota, velikost apartmánu, komunikace s majitelkou výborná. Hlučné dopouštěni vody po použití veškeré vody… z baterií, sprcha, toaleta.
• LI (8/5): 位置很好。 -
• Gillian (7/5): It was good apart from the comments already mentioned - Self catering People in flat above were delivering recycling bins around Eastbourne. Unfortunately they were up early (6am) and did not consider my family in the flat below who had disturbed sleep for four nights.
• Jared (10/5): -
• Louise (7/5): -
• Jan (3/5): - Zatuchlý a nepohodlný gauč a celkově staré vybavení, postele příliš měkké.
• Hilary (5/5): Great location. - Location great. Flat spacious. Some nice touches (eg coffee maker and cafetiere, christmas tree & the apartment was clean), The property was really very tired, with old, faded, crumpled bedding, old cheap throws, very tatty, stained furniture, random stuff on walls. Communal areas (ie entrance hall) also very, very tatty and grubby.
• Oborska (10/5): Fabulously comfortable stay in a perfect location in meades fantastic for spending a few days of family time together - So much space for a family with three adult children So many original features Very comfortable beds Loads of lounging space The galley kitchen was well equipped but very narrow Luckily we are a thin family
• scott (7/5): Overall a good stay but attention to detail could have been better. - Location was great and booking was easy, older building with character. Would stay again. Numerous signs of wear and tear about the property. Cleanliness could have been better, some of the utensils in the drawer were unwashed. A couple of the doors stuck making it difficult to open.
• Dominique (6/5): pleasant but would not go back - The location was good. We did not have breakfast the quality of the super king bed in the ensuite room, the double bed in the bedroom just as you step into the flat and generally they could do with new mattresses. The was no thorough cleaning, the bathroom cupboard was extremely dirty with stuff left in it and the rug and fitted carpet are dirty.
• Becky (4/5): Good location, spacious apartment but i wouldnt come back - The size of the flat was great, very spacious and a good location, close to the beach and town. We also had the ground floor flat so we had a parking space which was great. It was a very cold weekend when we stayed, the apartment was freezing cold, it took until the 4th day we were there to heat up to a warm temperature. The owners called the plumber but it still took days to heat up and we had the heating on max the whole time. There is a broken window in the en suite which has a whole in it so also causes a lot of cold air coming into the apartment. There is an open fire we wanted to use but we were not allowed although there are no signs on the fire stating not to use it. We were given a small heated fan to help but it didnt work They allow dogs which is great if you are a dog owner, but dog hair on the carpets and poo in the garden isnt ideal. The Wifi is terrible all through out the house, there is no network coverage and even with the booster unless you were sat in the master bedroom where the router was there was no wifi. The overall cleanliness of the apartment was okish, there were sweet rappers under the sofa that were not ours, teabags in the fireplace and dog hair over the rugs
• Joanne (10/5): Always love our visits to this apartment - We have been coming to this apartment for a few years. It accommodates our group. It’s a great location and a great price.
• Michael (10/5): -
• Louisa (10/5): -
• Julie (10/5): Fabulous Stay At Silverdale - Fabulous location, little cafe and wine tasting place with a grocery shop to the right. Beach to the right and right again, also dog walking bit. Bisto Pierre beautiful food 2 mins away and on beachfront. Accommodation big rooms , great to have 2 bathrooms. Also having the door from living room to garden was great for the dogs. Beds comfortable would definitely recommend. Met Donna the host very lovely. shower in bathroom with bath flow not great
• Harry (10/5): -
• kATHY (3/5): We liked the space a nd the size of the flat had but we wouldn't return. - Spacious and bright. Shower was powerful. Incredibly noisy from downstairs flat - zero sound-proofing and the 4 blokes may as well have been in the same room - they stayed up really late to the extent I had to sleep on the lounge floor - taking sofa cushions off to sleep on was a mistake just revealed 3 bottle tops and more dirt.... Couldn't find parking on street - had to park miles away. Flat was dirty - hair in plugholes, toilet dirty on arrival. Cold tap in bathroom sink only dribbles out. Up 3 flights of stairs. Heating noisy. Shower was just in the bath with a shower curtain round it. Freezer iced up. Only 1 loo roll.
• Mark (8/5): -
• Beatrix (8/5): 2 Minuten vom herrlichen Strand gelegen. Direkt dort beginnt der Küstenwanderweg zu den S Sister - Typisch englisch mit Kamin, bunte Couch, schönes altes Vertiko und Glasvitrine, sehr schöne jugendstil Glastür, riesiges Schlafzimmer, moderne Küche, separate zweite Arbeitsplatte, Vom Wohnzimmer geht es zur großen Terrasse (jetzt mit Barbecue ausgestattet 😉 für schöne Grillabende) Das Ausklappbett im Wohnzimmer ist sehr bequem! Die Küche und die beiden Badezimmer haben eine automatische Entlüftung. In den beiden Schlafzimmern kann man ein Fenster öffnen. Das Kinderzimmer ist nur für Kinder geeignet. Das Elternschlafzimmer könnte eine neue Matratze vertragen. Dusche schön heiß, aber es gibt keinen Wasserdruck.
• Ma Teresa (9/5): -
• Joanna (9/5): Great stay in very nice apartment close to the seaside :-) - Great location in nice and safe area, very close to the sea side, perfect to walk around in a town and in the nature. Apartment was spacious and we had we needed. If in need we could contact the host easily. Kitchen sh Kitchen should be clean a bit better.
• Stephen (9/5): -
• Frank (3/5): Zentrale Lage, aber unbequeme Betten, Bad ohne Lüftung und weitere Mängel. - Recht zentrale Lage, strandnah. Betten unbequem, kein eigener Parkplatz (schlechte Verfügbarkeit in der Umgebung), steile Treppen, Besteck und Geschirr abgenutzt, keine Geschirrspüler, Dach undicht (regnete rein!), Bad ohne Lüftungsmöglichkeit (!).
• Amanda (10/5): - It was in a convenient location 15/ 20-minute walk to shopping centre and pier. Quite area with some local shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk. The property is spacious, and in addition, the garden area is nice to have. 2 bathrooms were a great help as there were 6 adults. Very helpful when one of our guests left something behind There was nothing we didn't like. Sofa bed would have been better in the living area as awkward for 4 adults in one room.
• Jaron (8/5): -
• Hans (8/5): Toplocatie! - Heel ruim en mooi ingericht appartement in een Engels herenhuis en op wandelafstand van de zee. Wij verbleven er 2 nachten als uitvalsbasis voor een hike bij de Seven Sisters en een uitstap naar Brighton. Water toilet vulde heel traag bij, waardoor we water in het toilet moesten gieten om te kunnen doorspoelen. Dit laten weten aan de eigenaar per chat, maar geen reactie gekregen. Een paar schoonheidsfoutjes in het appartement.
• Beverley (9/5): Superb -
• David (6/5): A mixed experience: location, decor and comfort good; equipment average; parking poor - An excellent location, tasteful decoration and a good standard of comfort.. Parking was unexpectedly difficult (a matter of luck on almost every occasion), and would probably prevent us from taking this apartment again. One of the pieces of equipment (the cafetiere) had a broken glass bottom, resulting in a spillage of very hot coffee, which could have been dangerous. A phone call to report this got no reponse, though a follow-up text received a prompt reply, and a replacement that afternoon. The cold water supply to the bathroom was poor, and on our last morning failed altogether. We reported this at once by text, and recevied no reply. We assume that action was taken to remedy the situation before the next visitors arrived.
• Sean (9/5): Superb -
• Chris (7/5): Good -
• Chris (5/5): Passable -
• Lynne (10/5): Spacious, well decorated, great location - Perfect for a group of friends. Great position - good communucation from host . Nothing
• Ruth (8/5): Pleasant stay in quiet location near to the sea front. - The space was good, plus the location. Lumpy pillows and old bed. No spare toilet rolls.
• Georgina (10/5): Fantastic and will be back - Fantastic location, really spacious, comfortable apartment. Would definitely stay here again.
• Elaine (7/5): Good spacious apartment - spacious apartment, comfortable beds and a secluded garden area. WiFi and tv dropped out in the lounge area at the back of the apartment.
• Gillian (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyed our family stay. - Location very good There was food left in the freezer and items (pens, earplugs and tissue) left in a bedside cabinet. This was our fourth visit and the first time this has happened. Obviously didn’t spoil our visit!
• David (9/5): Better than expectations - Fantastic, large apartment. The photos don't do it justice! Living room enormous, beautiful Victorian house in a fabulous location with everything you could need. A little cold on the first night (in fairness, presumably unheated for a few days and a difficult place to heat). Would've been nice to "boost" the CH.
• Ying (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Athena (7/5): Good -
• Sarah (7/5): Good - Great location and well equipped kitchen. Could do with a couple of renovations: shower in main bathroom and a wobbly radiator in one bedroom.
• Dan (8/5): Very good location for four 60+ siblings - Bigger than expected. Well kitted out for a short stay. Comfy sofas in the lounge. Beds are fine. Great shop just down the road for very cheap toilet paper! The only things were that the single bedroom mattress was not at all comfortable for an adult and one toilet roll per toilet was challenging for four adults!!!
• Walsh (9/5): Enjoyable and cozy. - Great apartment, would highly recommend - Plenty of space for children and all facilities working and up to a great standard. Plenty of beds and bed space.
• Ruth (9/5): Enjoyable stay. - Very spacious and great location. A spare rubbish bag and toilet roll would have been welcome.
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent apartment, perfect for our needs. Location great. Was the second time we’ve stayed here and intend to be back next year.
• Judith (9/5): Everything we needed for a very comfortable stay - The extras that were included-wine glasses, salt and pepper, oil, washing up liquid etc Nothing - only disappointed our friends who were meant to join us, couldn’t come so we could get the most from it.
• Helen (5/5): The loacation was excellent but the overall comfort in the ground floor apartment was limited. - Great location, large living room and nice period features. Well heated The beds were far too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on. The lighting in the living room was inadequate. The shower in the wet room was a dribble of water and the shower in the bathroom did not have a non slip mat in the bath. 2 of the dining chairs were too low for the table. The soundproofing between floors was inadequate and on our last night we were kept awake til 1 am by noisy upstairs neighbours.
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional - What a great apartment, very spacious with comfy sofas and beds. Just a very few minor things that need looking at, kitchen tap, shower curtain, and bathroom lock. No coasters.
• Lucy (8/5): Very good - Location, really good comms with the owner. Excellent location. Free parking. Clean. Cosy beds. Thank you. .
• Tianshuang (5/5): It is cost-effective, but it also sacrifices some experience. - The location is great. It's convenient to go to the beach, take the bus and hang out everywhere. 1) There are blood stains or white washing powder residue on the sheets, the headrest is yellowish, and the sanitary conditions are not good. You'd better bring disposable sheets; 2) The water flow in the bathroom is relatively small, and the space is also small; 3) The staff put the key in the wrong box, causing us to communicate for a long time before we moved into the right room.
• Sarah (10/5): Fabulous - Cosy & comfortable. A great location!
• Louise (10/5): Exceptional - Great location spacious flat
• Alison (6/5): Comfy matresses and spacious rooms. Just didn’t feel fresh and clean. - Comfy beds spacious Lovely apartment but could be cleaner,
• Deborah (7/5): Good - Big space and really good location. Nice access to the back courtyard. Quiet apartment in a really good location near beach, shops tennis club and theatre. Good facilities in the apartment. There was something sticky on the worktop and a little puddle of milk in the fridge. Dusty fake plants in the property. Single beds rather too soft which are not good for adult use. My daughter chose to sleep on the firmer sofabed. The courtyard garden although pretty would be unsafe for little children as part of an unsecured low wall was leaning over. Generally some tlc needed on paintwork and garden.
• Margarida (5/5): Pleasant but could could be better if a few more provisions provided like utensils and serving bowls etc - Spacious and comfortable Utensils were rusty , also bin bags , toilet rolls provided for first day weren’t enough . The frying pans had lost its Teflon coating and is not safe to use in that condition
• Sarah (9/5): Excellent stay - Very happy with the apartment - clean, well furnished, everything we needed in the kitchen etc. Did have a water problem in the bathroom, so no cold water for toilet flushing, sink or shower. We flagged it on arrival in the afternoon though and plumber came the next day while we were out and it was sorted.
• Bianca (7/5): Weekend break - The property is spacious with 2 bathrooms and has a little garden which is lovely. Loads of entertaining games and quiet area, close to the beach. There are a few safety concerns that I believe should be addressed, such as the sofa and the loose brick in the garden that appears to be at risk of falling.
• Matthew (8/5): Very good -
• Ball (5/5): Good location but apartment needs some attention - Location 5 minute walk to the beach Mattress toppers and pillows were heavily stained Oven didn't work properly needs replacing No dishwasher so when we arrived the bowls still had food on them Cold water and toilet didn't work for some of our stay No blinds in the lounge so on really warm days it got really hot
• Chris (10/5): The house was in the best location - Clean. Very well equipped Brilliant location. Nothing
• Lena (5/5): Passable - The location was great, the size of the Appartement was good. The ensuite bathroom and front bedroom were mucky. The shower curtain had hair and mould on it. The bin had not been cleaned. The bath rim was dirty. The windows in the bedroom the paintwork was dirty. The bins out the front had rubbish spilled over the drive. The courtyard garden needs attention, part of the wall is falling down and dangerous, plus very weedy. If all of the above was sorted it would be a really lovely Appartement.
• Michele (9/5): Superb - Spacious and comfortable Leaving
• Glenn (9/5): Lovely place to stay - great location and comfortable - Great location, comfortable and well-appointed A little dusty in places
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Very spacious and well equipped with a great location, 2 minute walk to the front, and easy walk into town. Staff super quick responding to and handling any questions. Highly recommend!
• Akiko (8/5): Overall excellent property. - Enough rooms and space for 7 of us. The whole house was clean and tidy and good sense of decoration. The bath room sink of the ensuite room was too small to use. Had to share the sink every morning and evening. We wanted to have a washing dryer as the weather was wet throughout our stay.
• Ranudi (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (8/5): Very good - A very comfortable and spacious apartment with easy access to the beach front, local shops and Devonshire Park for the Eastbourne tennis tournament.
• Deborah (9/5): Vey spacious homely apartment in a well placed location. - Ideal location for the prom, seafood and for the tennis - in a quite residential neighbourhood. Very spacious appartment When it was hot it was difficult to get fresh air in the bedrooms as it was ground floor.
• Marcus (10/5): Brilliant - Very clean and tidy
• Abdullah (10/5): Large, clean apartment with beautiful, classic furniture - A large ground floor apartment suitable for families, with two bathrooms, an outdoor side seating area, and fully furnished. The Wi-Fi network is weak in some places in the apartment, from late hours after midnight until six in the morning. The hot water does not work in the kitchen, the bathroom sinks. Only the shower of the large room has hot water.. I think it is because of a device that controls the flow of hot water.
• Halsall (10/5): A real gem that we all loved. Homely and the last word in comfort! - Loved everything. Comfortable spacious accommodation, spotlessly clean with everything you could ask for. Gobsmacked from our first entrance. A really good find! Nothing not to like. We all adored it.
• Lizzie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kim (9/5): Beautiful Hotel - I liked my room very much! Loved the old Victorian house - delightful! Too many stairs for this old woman.
• Cindy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tim (10/5): Great weekend with friends visiting our old university town - Clean, smart, well equipped in an excellent location N/A
• Callum (9/5): Superb -
• Theresa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gillian (7/5): Family time in an excellent location - N/A
• Shane (10/5): Exceptional - Massive house!
• Kristopher (10/5): Excellent accommodation great location - Excellent everything you need to accommodate your stay. Nothing
• Ranga (8/5): Was very good. - Size was good. Front appearance and bath room floor.
• Tiggi (9/5): Really convenient and comfortable place to stay to visit family with easy walking from the door to Eastbourne beach, tow - Great location for seafront. Convenient to have parking space and access to outdoor space. Very comfortable bed in double room and comfortable living space. Noise of footsteps from upstairs flat could be disturbing if continued for too long late at night.
• Sean (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jodi (7/5): Good - Great location, really big apartment. My 2 children loved how big it was but still said it had a cosy feel. Nice and clean we met the cleaner who was really welcoming and lovely. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side and the drain pipes were blocked causing very loud dripping at night, this was reported and was looked into straight away. No tumble dryer even though stated in facilities also smashed glass in door but once reported the issues were sorted straight away so I was impressed with how quickly it was dealt with, would have been nice for an apology but it got sorted which was the main thing.
• Mwila (4/5): The host wasn't easily accessible by phone, calls were never picked - No breakfast was provided The location it's near to the town centre
• Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Iain (9/5): This is a great apartment with lots of space and in a great location. - Great location. Lots of space.
• Susan (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Mostly very good. - Spacious and clean. The basin in the main bathroom was blocked and slow to drain. The guttering above the single bedroom seemed to be blocked and so there was a noisy overflow during the night in rainfall.
• Calvadora (10/5): Good location, cosy flat, great for group of friends or families - The location and the whole flat is fantastic, well kitted out for our purpose too. (Attending a wedding)
• Silvux (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property to stay and huge size of rooms. additionally all is in the property for stay with family or friends. So close to the beach and loved the decorations.
• Jason (7/5): Good -
• Valerie (9/5): We were very impressed with this flat beyond out expectation. - Self catering, good equipment no problems, great to have a freezer. Huge en-suite bedroom and both bathrooms were very good. Outside space a real bonus, ideal location would love to stay here again. I think the temperature control on the boiler should be increased, the room thermostat did not bring any warmth to the rads apart from a very slight heat. Could be a problem when the weather gets colder.
• Penelope (8/5): Very good value in a lovely house of character and we would use it again without hesitation. - Excellent location and very carefully planned colour schemes. The furnishings were comfortable, especially the couches in the main room. The audio visual provision was also good and the whole flat was very clean. We found the heating and hot water systems difficult to manage and the rather sudden cold snap presented a bit of a challenge. And although the kitchen was well equipped we didn’t really care for some of the cutlery.
• Maggiemadeit45 (8/5): Very comfy for a group. - Nice and roomy in public spaces and bedrooms. Bathrooms tiny and shallow shower pans so water would get on the floor.
• Janine (9/5): Superb -
• Kev67 (10/5): Our Stay in Eastbourne - The Apartment was very spacious and clean and close to the seafront. The apartment was above and beyond what we were expecting. We don't drive but that didn't matter as there were transport links within a few minutes walk of the apartment that could take you to the town centre or beyond . The town centre is only a 7 minute ride from the bus stop near the apartment.The facilities in the apartment were great too it was good to have access to a washing machine and dryer which enabled us to bring few er clothes so we could bring more things back home 😂 It's great that we were able to bring our dog along .He's no puppy at 10 years old and he's recently had an operation on his back leg but he managed the stairs ok . The apartments decoration was lovely modern and tasteful .Would recommend staying at this apartment no problem . There are 2 flights of stairs to climb to gain entry to this apartment. Not a criticism but just a note of caution for people that have trouble climbing stairs etc .
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely Spacious apartment in a great location. We had a family holiday with 7 of us and there was plenty of room, the apartment was clean and restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend for a group stay.
• Helen (5/5): The location was good for air show - Convenient location No private parking. Poor maintenance and cleanliness. Manager/housekeeper did not respond to my issue/query during our stay.
• Stephen (4/5): Only just acceptable - Not enough fresh air, some windows could not open. Tap water was boiling, far to hot.
