Een tof en rustig verblijf als je op de kliffen wilt gaan wandelen.

We hebben bijbetaald voor het Engels ontbijt en mochten zelf doorgeven welke eitjes we wilden, of we worstjes, spek, champignons, hashbrown, tomaten erbij wilden. Het was een heerlijk ontbijt.

We hadden geluk dat het goed weer was zodat we buiten konden zitten, want in de kamer is geen plaats om te zitten. Er staan geen stoelen in de kamer. Het is een beetje zoeken naar plaats om alle bagage te zetten. Maar dat hadden we op voorhand gezien op de foto's, dus daar moeten we niet over klagen.

Comfortable countryside stay with plenty of space

9.0

Beautiful quiet location with views over the South Downs, close to Glyndebourne. David and Val are lovely hosts and came to meet us shortly after arrival. We stayed in The Loft, which also has a very comfy sleeper couch. Plenty of welcome supplies like tea, coffee, milk - even salt, pepper and olive oil. Highly recommended!

The WiFi connection was a little unstable at times, but it never went down completely. Not a serious bother at all.

Nice little accommodation

8.0

The property was small, cosy and clean and had pretty much all we needed for our two night stay. There is a very pleasant seating area outside. The hosts were very welcoming and gave us useful information about the locality.

We knew this in advance so it's not a criticism but be aware that the property is small.
