A really lovely property that worked well for our family & dog. Well equipped in all aspects and very large comfy beds. Nice to have lots of different options for sitting outside, depending whether we wanted sun or shade (and it was very warm when we stayed).

This property is in a good location and is spacious. It has a very steep drive which makes parking challenging. It has a comfortable lounge and spacious kitchen, although the kitchen only has a basic selection of crockery and glasses - all a bit tired and breakages clearly dont get replaced so we were struggling for tumblers. It smelt rather mustRead morey on arrival and clearly suffers from damp due to being locked up with no vented windows when not in use. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner. Hide

This is a lovely, comfortable property with everything you need in the kitchen, warm and nice comfy sofas and beds. Though the driveway is steep (as forewarned) we found it usable but there is also plenty of on street parking. Good location for going into Brighton or to Lewes or the downs.

We had a lovely stay at Sandpipers which was a great location for a larger family visiting Brighton. With a few tweaks this good property could be great. We stayed during a heatwave and found it very difficult to sleep in the stuffy upstairs bedroom and really needed a way to cool it down e.g. fans. There is a small sky light which helps a little wRead moreith ventilation but as it is partially over the bed we also got rained on during the night on occasion! The area is quite hilly and the drive down to the house is steep (hence we didn't even try to park on it) so not suitable for some guests with mobility issues. Ovingdean however is lovely and peaceful and a great location for walks above Brighton and into Woodingdean with some lovely views to take in. Hide

A lovely home from home with easy access by road to Brighton.Two good sized double bedrooms downstairs and a third smaller double upstairs which is adjacent to the front door. The upstairs was naturally warm but downstairs was cooler. The kitchen and lounge were well furnished and of a very good standard.
