AVERAGE RATING OF: 5 BASED ON 4 REVIEWS
A superbly appointed property - very well equipped and fitted with lots of lovely wood features - doors/floors/furniture.
Kitchen immaculate.
Quality furnishing.
Fabulous spacious and newly decorated property, just a couple of minutes walk to the centre of the village with a wonderful selection of eateries and shops.
Owners could not have been more helpful and the property amenities were superb.
Lovely terrace and amazing countryside views with woodland and downs walks on your doorstep.
Would highly recommend and our family will definitely return.
Met 5 volwassenen hebben we een leuke tijd gehad. Het huis heeft een fantastisch uitzicht op het heuvellandschap en de rivier. Het huis is net en schoon en comfortabel ingericht. De grote woonkeuken is van alle gemakken voorzien. Ook fijn dat er twee badkamers aanwezig zijn. De eigenaren communiceren zeer uitgebreid en snel. In het huis ligt een map met een uitgebreide uitleg over alle apparatuur en enkele huishoudelijke zaken. Het huis ligt zeer dichtbij het oude en sfeervolle centrum van Alfriston en vanuit het huis wandel je zo de natuur in. Kortom een locatie wat zeer de moeite waard is.

With 5 adults we had a nice time. The house has a fantastic view of the hills and the river. The house is neat and clean and comfortably furnished. The large kitchen is fully equipped. It is also nice that there are two bathrooms. The owners communicate very extensively and quickly. In the house there is a folder with an extensive explanation about all equipment and some household matters. The house is very close to the old and atmospheric center of Alfriston and from the house you can walk into nature. In short, a location that is very worthwhile.
Awesome in Alfriston.
This cottage (which is actually quite a spacious house) is beautifully positioned at the bottom of a tiny lane overlooking the small river and the Downs. There is next to no passing traffic but it's a one minute walk up the hill to Alfriston central which is delightful. There are four pubs in the space of 200 metres. We ate in The George a couple of times. There's also tea rooms and a little shop that takes you back in time. We walked over the South Downs to Jevington for lunch in the Eight Bells which is always good. The views are breathtaking and our dog loved it too. Seaford is only 10 minutes away which is a pleasant seaside town with a nice promenade. The cottage itself has a sizeable master bedroom with a decent ensuite and the family bathroom is enormous with a jacuzzi bath. Everything is provided that you would ever need.

Any pet given permission to come must not be allowed on the beds or furniture or left in the property alone. They must only use a pet bed and pet bowls that you bring with you.

Costs include the weekly rent, a £30 booking fee and a returnable £500 security deposit.
