Star Cottage

Accommodation was lovely at first sight.

But the cleanliness was very poor. Had to clean the window seal in the kitchen as toaster had not been moved and cleaned. Shower tray dirty round the edges and shower hose had black marks down it. Had to defrost freezer as yellow and thick with ice. At the end of the stay stripped bedding and mattress were dirty and skirting boards at back of beds were thick with dust. It is a shame as the cottage has been furnished lovely and decorated nice just the cleanliness lets it down.

Cozy cottage in the heart of the old town, close to local amenities, three pubs and Waitrose within five minutes walk.

Town and the seafront is approximately 30 minutes walk. There's a good bus service. the coaster 12 A,X run along the coast all the way to Brighton and you can hop off at seven sisters to walk back to Eastbourne if you're into walking. Kitchen could do with a few more bits and pieces if you're into cooking and the fridge freezer is very small for a group of four.

We enjoyed our stay at Star cottage last year, so we decided to stay again this year, it's in the old town part of Eastbourne, but they have a great bus service to go into the main town and places of interest eg: Sovereign Harbour, East Dean, Lewes, and even Brighton and Hastings!

. Just to say the cottage is on a narrow quite busy road with double yellow lines both sides, but there are nearby roads to park your car. Maintenance wise- the fuse on the kitchen wall is hanging off (wires exposed!) They need some tumbler type glasses none of these available!.and one last comment is when we stayed (10mths ago) we given a lovely welcome basket of goodies, alas not on our stay this time!. cut backs l suppose.

This is a lovely little cottage.

Really cosy and welcoming. The location is great, with some great pubs within walking distance. A bus stop is just round the corner which was ideal for going to Beachy Head. It has a lovely little patio upstairs which is a private little suntrap. Would definitely stay again.

Lovey cottage, easy access to shops pubs cafes great park 5 minutes walk, Waitrose on your doorstep, You must try The Lamb Pub, Good base to walk the south downs way.

Looking forward to staying again

We was happy in the cottage.

Comfortable beds. The shower is fantastic and walk in. Everything is close by. Supermarket, pubs. Not far from the beach and also Beachy head. Plenty of restaurants and takeaways delivery services. Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely cosy cottage with everything you need and in a good location.

Very close to Waitrose for groceries on foot and not far from Beachy Head/Seven Sisters by car. Would benefit from check-out instructions with regards to rubbish/linen.

We had a lovely stay, the accommodation is very clean and comfortable, and a welcome pack was provided on arrival which was nice.

This was our second stay here and the cottage has been much improved by replacing the bath tub with a really nice walk in shower. The location is great for us close to a good supermarket, a lovely park and a few nice pubs (you can get a lovely meal at The Lamb). Eastbourne has lots of shops in the town and a lovely promenade to walk along which can take you to the Sussex Downs coastal path to Beachy Head. There are lots of places to visit nearby. All in all a very good holiday. Many thanks.

Great stay .

Only downside was passing noise in front bedroom only, as right on high street .

Very nice little cottage in a convenient area for getting around, we enjoyed our stay Very much.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Star Cottage, however a few more kitchen utensiles and crockery would be useful.

A washing machine would also be useful especially if you are staying for a week or more, but I understand that there was very little room to put one. The cottage was very clean and the bed very comfortable. On the whole a very enjoyable stay.

Despite previous guests making comments, there are still items lacking in the kitchen: corkscrew, spatula, ladle, oven proof casserole would all be welcome.

The grill pan was greasy and all mugs were unwashed. The hand soap dispenser was empty in bathroom, and no bin. The sheets and duvet cover are unpleasant polyester cotton, with stained mattress covers and one pillowcase was badly marked. The front bedroom would benefit from a curtain due to lights on overnight in antique shop opposite. There is little storage in second bedroom and tins of paint in one cupboard alongside extra pillows (already 4 provided) and covers in the front bedroom. The hot water thermostat is set too high and could scale someone. Already others have mentioned the bathtub issue, it could be solved with circular shower curtain and head fixed to wall. Overall disappointed with the facilities and cleanliness.

It was a gorgeous little cottage.

Very cosy and we spent a lovely few days over Xmas visiting family. The only downside was the bathroom- although it was very beautiful, it was not practical. A walk in shower would be much easier. The flush on the toilet was also a bit temperamental.

A fantastic stay in this property.

We were made to feel special straight away with the welcome basket. A warm, cosy, original cottage in the heart of the friendly old town. Amenities close to hand and a great base for sight seeing/ visiting old haunts. Clean & well maintained. Cosy beds, great kitchen, cute living space, lovely bathroom ( great first a pamper) and plush carpet. Useful feedback: Kitchen: Would benefit from a tin opener/ bottle opener, waste food recycling bin, glass recycling bin outside and a sieve. Left hand tap handle kept falling off. Living room: instruction folder for telly, heating and microwave. Comments book & a lamp (for subdued lighting in evening). We used two from upstairs and made it feel even more cosy. We were there when bad weather struck so lots of cold air coming in under front door. Optional draft excluder may help in winter months. We know this is a new holiday rental and is work in progress so this is why we have added more suggestions. For me, my sister, two girls and a dog this was a fantastic property and nice to see a different aspect of the old town. Our grandparents used to live in Eastbourne and this break helped us say goodbye.

We stayed for 10 days with our dog and found this cottage excellent for all our needs.

Very clean and everything provided to make it a comfortable stay. There is a patio area where you can sit out which is quite a sun trap in the afternoon. We also received a welcome pack which was really kind. The location in the old town is really nice close to a supermarket, a few pubs, two of which were really lovely, The Lamb and The Rainbow which are good for food and drinks and also dog friendly. A few minutes walk away is a lovely big park. Eastbourne is a very nice seaside town with a lovely promenade if you like to walk, and plenty of shops. A good place to stay if you like to do a bit of sight seeing, we visited Herstmonceux Castle, Hastings, Peveney, Brighton and Battle. You can walk to Beachy Head from Eastbourne along the coastal path. We did have great weather which also contributed to our lovely holiday.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is in a great situation in the old town although it is a bit of a walk down to the sea front.

The cottage is very newly done up and we found it comfortable. There were tiny teething problems such as the fridge hadn't been emptied from the people before and the draining rack wasn't cleaned, but in general the cottage was very well presented and we appreciated the welcome pack and also plenty of spare toilet roll ( often cottages can be stingy)! We would recommend this as a very pleasant base to explore Eastbourne and the South Downs.

LOTS of dust on blinds and heating controller.

No aerial in TV, so wasn't worth having. Sink in bathroom leaking from waste. Rubbish from previous occupiers in bedroom bin. Overall Finish looked rushed. Cheap dining room and table and chairs. Very sharp edges, so uncomfortable. Bedroom linen new, and guess it was not washed as was scratchy. Would be lovely if these points were sorted out.

This was a lovely cottage - nicely decorated and handy for our purposes.

Close to shops restaurants and cafes. There was a lovely welcome box with all you would need to chill after a long journey which was a great touch and highly appreciated. The towels were new and all was clean and up to date with a nice sitting area outside which was private. The cottage is small but we managed well with three adults and a dog. We had good communication with the key holder - there was nothing I would have changed - the only thing would have been that if I had stayed longer - a washing macihine would have been appreciated. But for my short stay not required. Thank you
