Had a very enjoyable Easter Weekend here. Very quiet road and very close for a walk to the seafront, about 5 mins. You can also walk into the town along the seafront, about half hour. The cottage was really nice - a good size and clean throughout. The conservatory in the front bedroom is a really good addition to the room. Despite there being propeRead morerties either side and to the back of the house the garden is still very secluded. Good communication from the owner before arrival. Hide

Quiet and comfortable stay at the bungalow. We enjoyed our 3 night stay with the dog who loved exploring the back garden. It wouldnt be accessible for someone with mobility issues as the front entrance is quite steep.

I liked the story of the house and to know who lived in it in the past. The honey and the fact that these people shared the love they had for bees and that they shared their knowledge too apart from having a hive.

We had a really nice holiday at Beekeepers rest. Lovely bungalow. Jess was very helpful informing us of places to go as we had never been to the area. We enjoyed our bus rides to Eastbourne and Brighton. Lovely walk along the seafront from Bishopstone to Seaford, especially to end up at the Old Plough for food and drinks.
