The heating was set a bit too high for us. But we were able to adjust. My 5'11" husband bumped his head downstairs on the door frame a few times. Maybe a sign could be installed

Having towels and bedding provided, along with beds being made saved us time and saved space in the car. The breakfast hamper was amazing. We had milk, bread, eggs, apple juice, butter, chocolate, biscuits, cereal, tea, coffee and sugar. This was very much appreciated. Thank you

A delightful cottage, beautifully decorated. The owners had thoughtfully provided everything we could need for our stay.

The traffic noise is a downside, but not much to be done about that.

We stayed here last summer and now came back, which we normally don't do, but this is such a nice house to be in! It's very homely, very well cleaned. The garden is nice. Parking the car takes a little more time because of the gate, but at least you get a private parking space. You can have nice walks from the house.

It was very hot due to the weather, but fans were provided. Again, the hosts thought of everything.

The arrival hamper was a wonderful touch, and everything you could think of needing is there. So well stocked and very homely.

Very nice well maintained interior, a perfect selection of little things which make your stay complete without need to bring all your own auxiliaries. And perfect this first breakfast food basket, this saved our first morning :-) Thanks for all!

lovely little cottage, right in the heart of the small village of Pevensey. it was well equipped, really felt like home and not like being in a rented cottage. The exchange with the owner was very smooth, very fast response. The place is directly opposite a pub, and a few metres down the road is another one. We did a lot of walks two which started right away from the cottage. The owner placed a basket with some first food helpings in the kitchen, also some in the fridge which was much appreciated as we arrived late. The cottages is placed right at a very busy road, there are many cars travelling through Pevensey. The living room and one of the two bedrooms are facing to the road. Light sleepers should consider this.

There really was nothing to dislike about the property.

The cottage was extremely comfortable and warm, and very welcoming. The hosts were really accommodating, and the welcome pack was indeed welcome, especially the cupcakes, candles and card for our anniversary.

Everything was just perfect

The perfect cottage, well equipped and super clean. The cottage is located in the heart of the picturesque village Pevensey. We felt like being at a filming location of Midsumer Murders 😊We loved staying there and we would love to come back. Thanks to Fidelma and Kevin we really felt at home in your beautiful cottage.

Traffic noise is pretty bad, especially in the master bedroom.

Very well equiped. Everything thought of. There was even a pack of new toothbrushes and toothpaste in the bathroom in case you forgot your own. All sorts of things you would have in store at home were supplied here as well. Cleaner did a very good job, no dust to be found anywhere. House is nicely renovated and charmingly decorated. Welcoming pack is indeed very welcoming to recieve. Garden is a plus.

Our car only had 3 inches room to squeeze into the parking lot (mirror-to-mirror). The headroom at some doors was too little. It took a while and some hits to avoid that :-(

Oriel Cottage is a real English cottage, exactly what we were looking for! We were feeling truly welcome after seeing the welcome package. All the equipment you could need was available. NIce beds, bedsheets and towels!

Everything was fine, so no comment needed here.

Very well equipped; everything we needed for a week long stay was provided. The welcome hamper of goodies was much appreciated. The owners communicated all we needed through e-mail, plus there was helpful information in the property. Given we went for long walks on several days - regardless of the weather - it was ideal to have the ability to wash and dry clothes at the property. We got more than a bit wet a couple of times... Excellent wi-fi, plus a TV with lots of channel options for when the weather was just too much. Wholehearted recommendation from us.

Couldn't find a bread knife ! :)

Best cottage we have ever stayed in. The hosts were really thoughtful and the whole experience from the booking to the departure was faultless. The property has been subject of a renovation and it was as near to brand new as you could find in terms of accommodation. The owners seem to have thought of everything. We may not come this way again but I would definitely recommend Oriel Cottage to anyone visiting the area and looking for a quality cottage to stay.

Perfect base for us visiting family. Everything thought of, all those little extras that make it home from home. Tastefully renovated and furnished. Very comfortable sofas and bed. Fabulous welcome basket! Wish weather had been dry enough for us to enjoy the gorgeous courtyard garden! Ate out every day at pub across the road, lovely food and staff.

Everything was great so there wasn't anything to dislike.

A beautiful cottage in a lovely place. Ideal location for exploring the Sussex coastline. I'm so glad we stayed here.

Very attentive cosy cottage, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The hosts must have thought everything through meticulously as the range of equipment and household items was exceptional. Everything for comfort and convenience was provided. As we have family in the area we look forward to staying in the future.

Reversing the car in was a tight squeeze but we managed it OK with our large car.

Great location just up the road from the castle. Easy walk to Pevensey Bay and the local stations. Spotlessly clean and has everything you need. Cosy inside and a nice sun trap in the garden.

We did not have the best weather, but that is not the fault of Oriel Cottage!

The cottage was very clean and comfortable. There were provisions waiting for us. The kitchen was very well equipped. There was a nice little area outside to have breakfast. I felt the owners had thought of everything we might need and enjoy.
