Property code: OC-EHC29

Enjoy a tranquil stay in the picturesque Meads Village area of Eastbourne and soak up all that this scenic spot has to offer. A romantic retreat for two, this spacious one-bedroom cottage is the perfect camp for a restful East Sussex seaside stay.

 

This calming cottage is thoughtfully decorated in chic coastal shades. Enter through the courtyard garden with outdoor furniture, perfect for catching the last of the day’s sun. The open-plan living and dining space is the ideal spot to tuck into a romantic evening meal, before collapsing on the cushy couch and making the most of the TV. Clamber up the cottage-style staircase to bed where you’ll find a king-size bedroom soaked in sunlight, where you can enjoy a DVD in bed before nodding off to sleep.

 

Located just 2 miles west of Eastbourne, Meads Village is the perfect destination for a couple who appreciate quieter and calmer surroundings. Less than 100 metres away, you’ll find yourself on the village high street, where a handful of shops, restaurants and independent pubs offer plenty in the way of shopping and eating out. Wander 0.5 miles down to the beach at Holywell: this traditional East Sussex beach is awash with shingle and is a more peaceful alternative to the busy beach at Eastbourne. However, 1.5 miles along the coast from Holywell is Eastbourne Pier where you can treat yourself to some traditional fish and chips. The property is also less than a mile from the edge of the South Downs National Park, home to the iconic Beachy Head beauty spot (2 miles).

We enjoyed a relaxing stay at Dovecote and found it to be a quiet, convenient and comfortable location. Although the weather was not great all of the time there were plenty of walks nearby including on the South Downs and along the promenade. The local shops are also a plus.

The cottage was in a quiet location called the Meads approximately a mile from the town centre. Beachy Head and the downs very close by a few shops and a couple of pubs and tea rooms also very close by. There was parking which is a bonus. The property had all that we needed for a weeks holiday and we would definitely go there again. Highly recommenRead moreded. Hide
