  • Pretty terraced cottage for five, with attractive enclosed rear garden
  • Located in the Meads Village area to the west of Eastbourne town centre
  • Easy access to the quiet local beach and South Downs National Park
Property code: EHC09

This cottage is located in the popular Meads Village area of Eastbourne, one mile west of the town centre. Meads Village has a great community feel, and has a good choice of restaurants, pubs, and cafes. A short walk to the west of the property, visitors will find the start of the South Downs Way, a fantastic walking route which leads all the way to Winchester. Of course, most visitors to the area are far more likely to tackle just a short section of the route, perhaps the two-mile walk up to the breath-taking vantage point at Beachy Head, where they can enjoy a well-deserved drink at the cliff-top pub before making the return journey.

Upon arrival at this cottage, guests first come to the living room: a relaxing room with a classic, elegant feel, and a bay window which floods the room with light. In the fireplace sits a flame-effect fire which gives the room a lovely cosy feel, whilst the comfortable sofa and armchairs provide a relaxing place to watch the TV, which in addition to the usual Freeview channels has access to Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime (you will need to log in with your own subscription details). An archway separates the lounge from the dining room, where guests will not only find a dining table but also a bookcase well-stocked with books and some board games for guests to enjoy. The kitchen, meanwhile, provides everything that guests will need should they choose to eat-in, including an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. At the far-end of the room, a door leads through to a small utility room with a breakfast bar which overlooks the garden, and where the tumble dryer  is located. Stairs lead to the first-floor accommodation where there are three bedrooms. There is a spacious king-size room, as well as a restful single room and a twin bedroom, both with views to the back garden. The contemporary shower room is also on this floor and offers a spacious shower cubicle and WC.

A door from the kitchen leads out to a covered area, beyond which is a patio seating area with garden furniture, which, in turn, leads onto a lawn.

There is a limited number of parking permits available and a permit will be provided for 1 car subject to availability.

The cottage is dated and needs some tlc, but is easily the most comfortable of the four different cottages we have stayed at in Meads Street. We would always look for this cottage first, in future.

Everything was as we expected and we had a lovely relaxing week over Christmas. Enjoyed the Pilot Inn in the doorstep and walking distance to local shops.

A very nice simple cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Right next to beachy head and the sea front, great for scenic walks.

Cosy cottage close to everything Meads has on offer. It doesnt get any better with two pubs just two minutes walk, shops and cafes almost as close. Bus to town round the corner. Beach and Downs just up the street. This place is old, a bit shabby, but delightfully comfortable.

The location is absolutely fabulous , the private and secure garden is ideal for dogs . Sadly the cleanliness of the property and the decor was substandard - we had to wash the cutlery , crockery and pans before use . There was fluff under every bed and cobwebs all over . Both toilets werent clean . Apart from these gripes we had a lovely time and Read morewill consider staying there again . Meads is a lovely place to stay and we would recommend it . Hide
