Fantastic cottage providing easy access to the South Downs, Eastbourne, Hastings and beyond.

Great place to stay
Great place to stay!
Stayed here with my family, the cottage was clean, spacious and well equipped.
Perfect place for a short break away.
Will be back with some friends next time.
I wish I lived here!
What a beautiful cottage.
Real character and has all the comforts of home.
I loved the quiet cosy evenings and the courtyard garden is really quaint.
It’s a beautiful street with flint buildings, the parish church, history and character.
The house was well equipped, with enough room for a family.
The area is quiet, with very close and easy access to the Downs (for walkers, runners or anyone with dogs).
Polegate station is just down the road. The Thai restaurant next door is to be recommended.
Parking is easy.
Eastbourne itself also has a surprising amount to do. The Seafront is beautiful. The theatre has a good line-up. And the walks across the Downs are amazing. I enjoyed the Beachy Head Story, which is free and next to the Beachy Head Pub.
I’ll be back and would highly recommend Pear Tree Cottage.
Beautiful little cottage
The cottage is cosy, and in a lovely location.
Great place to escape and go for local countryside walks, or alternatively only a short drive to the seaside!
Best of both worlds!
Beautiful cottage set in a pretty East Sussex village
Pear Tree is a beautiful, clean, comfortable and well equipped cottage.
It is set in a pretty village location ideal for accessing walking routes and the beach is also only a short drive away.
There are two friendly pubs on the doorstep offering excellent food.
We had 5 in our party and the cottage comfortably takes 6.
We all had an amazing time in Eastbourne and would definitely book the cottage again.
Fabulous picturesque cottage in the heart of Willingdon village with an outside courtyard area.
Great local pubs and Thai restaurant on your door step.
We would highly recommend it.
Pear Tree Cottage is a beautiful place to stay in a pretty village with everything that one needs for a relaxing countryside getaway.
Room enough for a family or groups of friends, within a few minutes of the local pub, Thai restaurant and beauty room, as well as only being a short walk from the South Downs.
Loved my stay and will definitely be back!
I stayed at Pear Tree cottage over the jubilee weekend with friends.
The cottage is beautiful and the village very picturesque.
The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing few days with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a little yard if you want to sit outside.
It's a short walk to one of the village pubs and is close to the south downs.
I'll definitely be back!
The most gorgeous chocolate box cottage. Spotlessly clean and much larger than it looks. Would highly recommend. Book now. You won’t be disappointed!
We had a great stay at Pear Tree Cottage, whilst waiting on our house purchase to complete. It was clean and well equipped, and communication was good and friendly throughout, even when we managed to take the keys with us when we left!
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage! The outside is so lovely! The street it was on was very peaceful with a great thai restaurant and cafe next to the cottage. Carl and Sarah, are great hosts, very friendly and always available to answer any questions! Also the neighbors in the area are so sweet and friendly and even saved our packages in the rain holding them for later!
