Just moments from Eastbourne’s Victorian pier and traditional seafront, this delightful property offers a remarkable stay on the South coast. Offering a comfortable stay for any family or group of friends, the property happily sleeps eight guests and two of your four-pawed pals. Look forward to an evening of relaxation after a long day exploring nearby Brighton, Hastings or the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

 

Filled to the brim with original features and fascinating nooks and crannies, this converted 18th century bakery provides an entirely unique stay. Exposed brickwork, original oak beams and an authentic bread oven contribute to the overall charm of this pretty property. On arrival, stop off in the spacious hallway to hang up outerwear and walking boots. The heart of this house is its stunning dining room which boasts more than enough space for eight to dine together. Step into the lounge to unwind on an evening, enjoying a program on the TV or simply catching up over a bottle of wine. When it’s time for bed you’ll find a twin bedroom on the ground floor and three further bedrooms upstairs on the first floor, all of which offer pleasant spots to catch 40 winks and prepare for the day ahead.

 

Set off and explore the picturesque Eastbourne, dropping into the town’s traditional seaside pier (0.5 miles) or discovering the busy town centre (0.5 miles). The wide shingle beach is well worth a visit and can be found less than 300 metres from your door.

A good-sized cottage with a long history, well placed in relation to the sea front. There is lots to do in and around Eastbourne - we enjoyed Lewes, Charleston, Hastings and Rye, as well as the Eastbourne promenade and art gallery.

The cottage was the perfect spot for our holiday. We needed a space with a ground floor bedroom with en-suite for my elderly mother. The space was perfect for a family of 7 with enough space to not feel cramped. Great being so close to the sea and a short walk from the town. We hope to come back again :)
