    A comfortable, personal space with the feel of an expanded luxury beach chalet rather than a room.

    Having the shower (a very nice shower) in what was in effect the breakfast area was... quirky, but wasn't a problem. The areas for making drinks and having the fridge behind a cupboard door was rather cramped, but once again quirky rather than problematic.

    Good location, outside Brighton but very easy to shuffle in and out by car. Very close to the newly refurbished Saltdean Lido which looks fantastic (but we didn't have time for a swim.) The decoration was completely fresh and bright and enhanced by many well-chosen and interesting pictures and objets d'art on the walls created a nice personal vibe which made you feel more on holiday than a typical hotel room. The "pocket garden" was tiny, but interesting, fun, and warm in the sun - great for breakfasts. Small tokens of bottle of milk and a large bottle of water in the fridge was thoughtful and welcome.

    we didnt find the fridge for a while but we assumed both doors were locked but 1 is a cupboard. our fault just as much for not checking.

    the location and owner was really responsive and did everything to accommodate .

    As mentioned, it was a wonderfully hot weekend and we would have used the outside space a bit more, but, to be honest, it was a little unloved. This area could be so much more.

    We stayed here at the beginning of September and were very fortunate to have hot, sunny weather. The location of this property is perfect for beach days - a very short stroll to the beach. We parked the car and didn’t have to use it again. We did go into Brighton but used the bus or the bicycles provided.

    Ideal location to the beach and to public transport. It's a beautiful little place, quirky, and has its own outdoor area. The host was really helpful and has thought of everything. Would definitely recommend it and would come back. It was excellent value for money.

    No cooking facilities except for a microwave: not even a toaster. No sink to wash dishes in. No microwaveable dishes. No mains TV. Hugely overpriced at £112.50 for one night.

    Comfortable bed & decent shower.
