Ms Odwyer December 2020

“Having the fire on when i arrived was so nice after a long wet drive arriving to a warm and toastie quaint cottage.”

Graham was around and answers any questions etc and wood if needed. Beach /sea so close - it was so lovely to be able to in just 1 / 2 mins walk by the beach (boots are helpful as its shingles !) . All very quite only locals , just what I wanted and needed! Bed cosy and the view super in the early morning. Just what you need for a few days R&R off grid.

Mr Redford September 2020

“This is a peaceful cosy cottage, with the beach just a stones throw away.”

We had a lovely stay & would definitely come back again.

“The photos are a good representation of the property.”

If you are tall you learn to duck quite quickly between rooms. It was cleaned to a very high standard which is very important during a pandemic. Graham was there to meet us to offer us any further assistance . We hope to return, it's a lovely village if you want to get away for some peace and quiet.

“In spite of my eight 6ft 4'' and areas of the property being on the low side a few taps an go places we had a wonderful time.”

everything was provided if not it was only a phone call away. Bedding, towels everything was clean almost new, working as expected. The quirkiness of the building just added to its charm. recommended if you are under 6ft tall, also the 2nd bedroom with its entrance directly off of the stairs, not for unsupervised infants or even elderly persons. For me it was, more than, for self catering accommodation.

Mrs Wilkinson August 2020

“We all loved this quaint little cottage, the view from the front is just beautiful, we sat on the bed in the evening and watched a storm across the sea The owners are so friendly, just dropped in to check we had arrived safely, and were available to call at any time if we needed them.”

... We didn’t , they had thought of everything, right down to milk for our tea! I’m sure we will be back , which let’s face it , is the best rating you can give anywhere!

Mr Stewart February 2020

“We had a wonderful time in this well appointed period cottage.”

Weather wasn't the greatest but Normans bay is perfectly situated for days out in the car or by train. We will definitely return!

- Mr Stewart, February 2020
Miss Beadle February 2020

“Recommended to anyone who wants to be very near to the beach, and peaceful, cosy retreat for couples, will be trying to book again, even the weather didn't let us down.”

As there was a log fire for a cosy atmosphere.

“An incredible cottage, the owners were so accommodating and were easy to reach out to if questions needed answering etc.”

. the cottage has recently been refurbished and had every amenity imaginable. The wood burner was an excellent addition and made the winter nights cosy and comfortable. Fisherman’s Cottage is certainly a great escape from city life and with a train station 5mins away you have access too all the local coastal towns for an adventurous trip away. My advice if you are venturing there without a car, order in a supermarket food delivery the night you arrive.

“Loved Fisherman's cottage.”

It's a really sweet cottage in a quiet relaxing area. Stayed for a few days in January but was lucky with the weather. Walking on the beach 50 yds away and watching the sunrise was lovely. It's: comfortably furnished, nicely decorated, well equipped kitchen, lovely comfy beds and bedding, wood burning stove, sweet garden ( partially shared with next door) and parking. It is a 5 mins walk to the train station which was great as it's so nice not to have to use the car and surprisingly cheap fares to Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Brighton. This is a very quiet area with a pub serving food a 10 min walk across the fields or a few minutes drive. It's very dark at night in the street (no street lights) hence no light pollution which means you can see the stars...loved that! Great views of the beach from the double room, and listening to the waves at night was so relaxing. The owner was very helpful and was on hand to answer questions. The heating broke down but the owner quickly brought over a heater whilst he sorted the heating out. If you want to chill then this is the place.

“The Fisherman’s Cottage makes a perfect winter weekend getaway from London, there’s a direct train to Norman’s Bay in under 2 hours, and it’s a short walk to the cottage.”

The cottage itself was really cosy, recently decorated with lovely soft carpets and a roaring open fire (beautiful, but even without was toasty from the central heating). I happily listened to a storm raging out over the sea in the middle of the night from under the fluffy duvet, and sunlight flooded through the windows looking out to sea in the morning. No need to take masses of provisions down either, as there is a short walk across a field to the Star Inn for dinner, or a couple of miles along the beach to the Cooden Beach Hotel with a bigger menu, and after a large glass of wine, we got the train back! Hard to imagine anywhere more relaxing.
