“I have sent two letters to you about conditions at this site - no reply received!”

Not enough kitchen utensils, bushes growing up all over every window with spiders etc outside. Could not leave windows open as all sorts of insects came in. Information centre (??) is in bad condition with weeds growing everywhere, where flowers used to be. Keysafe is now hidden behind some bushes - had to get on knees to get key out - and I am 79 years old with an arthritic back! Also food table is about 2 feet square - not enough hardly enough room for two people - let alone four! Shower does not work properly and TV has to be constantly re-booted. All in all a bad holiday for us. Have also emailed the owner - in Spain - three times also without reply.

“There was spiders everywhere in the property around 10 spiders Even snail in bedroom Bed not comfortable”
Dr Kirby June 2019

“The premises was dusty, dirty, webby and poorly equipped.”

Hot water intermittent. Smelt unaired. Beds were cheap and unsupportive. Furniture too. We spent two hours both cleaning the kitchen and bathroom to get acceptable. To be avoided.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that the property didn't live up to your expectations. Please be assured that we are looking into the points you have raised and would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention. Kind Regards, The Customer Relations Team Sykes owner relations

“I do not know, what company is responsible for the maintaining the property on behalf of the owners, they are however not providing a very good service.”

...There was thick dust in corners of the carpets and under the beds, in addition cobwebs and mould in both the bathroom and both bedrooms. Unfortunately there was also a unpleasant smell. All in all not a place I would like to use again!
Mr Stokoe December 2018

“Sykes done everything for us made our stay easy no worries more time to enjoy our time there many thanks guys”
Mr Sutton October 2018

“The first thing we had to do upon entering was vacuum every corner in every room, and open all the windows to change the air.”

it felt as though no one had set foot inside for months. we were finding spiders and insects all throughout the stay. Once we got over that we did have a reasonably enjoyable stay, but the cottage needs a lot of TLC.
Mr Hart August 2018

“The bungalow was ideally located for us (myself and my two young children), as we wanted somewhere close to Drusilla's Zoo.”

There were unfortunately lots of disappointing things about the bungalow. The kitchen was poorly equipped for a family wanting to cook three proper family meals a day (only one tiny ancient frying pan, no baking trays (for cooking oven chips etc), no sharp knives, no cooking pots for the oven, etc). The chests of drawers and bedside tables were falling apart. Light bulbs not working in all of the lights. No bedside reading lamps. The shower in the bathroom didn't work (broken mixer tap) so could only run the (tiny) bath. No extractor fan in the bathroom. The worst thing was the terrible damp and mould problem in the bungalow (not so bad in the lounge or main bedroom, but was unbearable in the twin bedroom, bathroom and kitchen), there were mould patches on the walls and ceilings in every room (I can supply photos if required). Turned out the on-site swimming pool is only open for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon, everyday. I had a look in a couple of the other bungalows on site while we were there and they all were really nice, however this one (number 22) was awful.

“The TV, DVD, washing machine and cooker worked well.”

The shower in the bathroom does not work. There is quite a lot of damp in the bathroom. Clearly the owners are concerned to maximise their profit and, obviously, do not feel it is necessary to make guests welcome with small gestures. Providing a small bar of soap or a soap dispenser in the bathroom would be the least I would expect. No spare toilet roll either just gives an impression of meanness. I guess the owners don't care. This is the first self catering place I have ever rented in the UK that did not even provide that.

“Perfect setting and location”

Perfect location for visiting many areas in and around E Sussex. Well equipped, very comfortable. Appreciated being close to public footpaths for evening walks, and loved the nearby farm shop,for,supplies, and morning coffee.

About the location

STONE CROSS

Pevensey 3 miles; Polegate 4 miles; Eastbourne 5 miles; Battle 12 miles; Lewes 15 miles.

The hamlet of Stone Cross is located close to the village of Polegate, near to the seaside towns of Pevensey and Eastbourne. Stone Cross has a few essential amenities and Polegate and Hailsham several pubs and tea shops to choose from and the shops provide all your daily requirements. Near to the cottage are several places where you can access the Cuckoo Trail, which has 14 miles of walks and cycle ways, from where you can take in the Sussex air as you enjoy the views. The village of Pevensey, with its famous castle, gives you the chance to step back in time, where you can explore the towering ruins or delve into the dungeons; as one of England's oldest castles, it is a fun day out for all the family, plus Pevensey Bay is a haven for wildlife, or whilst you’re here why not take a dip in the sea? For children, young and old, a day at Drusillas Zoo offers a day to remember, or perhaps spend a day in the village of Alfriston, where you will find cobbled streets and antiques shops. With excellent transport links to all parts of Sussex and into London, Stone Cross makes an excellent place to stay when exploring the coast, or the many historic towns, which you will find nearby.
