    The windows in the bedroom where dirty The windows in the bathroom had no blinds on them for better privacy The over the bath shower should be the opposite end and my wife wanted a bath but the water does come out of the taps just the shower head it took ages The owners never introduced themselves which I thought was strange

    Location to the ferry port was excellent as we where getting the morning ferry Tea, coffee and fresh milk was very helpful I liked that and plenty of it Clean and tidy

    Very clean and a comfortable bed. Fresh milk in the fridge was appreciated instead of UHT capsules. Radiator on when we arrived so very homely. Great bathroom and shower.

    Parking... Although after we had parked we had a message to say we could park on the drive.

    Lovely little find. Although parking wasn't the easiest. Good nights sleep. Perfect for Newhaven ferry port.

    A tad difficult to locate as it's not actually on the main road. Drive very steep and narrow and once we got to the top there wasn't enough room to open the car doors so had to reverse back down and park on the "slip road". Lots of traffic noise up until about 10pm and again from 5:30am (we live in rural Norfolk so are not used to constant traffic). However, all that said, it was a small price to pay for the luxury and convenience to the ferry terminal.

    Great communication from host. Spotlessly clean. 5 minutes from the ferry terminal. Had all the home comforts you needed eg tea, coffee, fresh milk, fridge, wine cooler etc. Super comfy king size bed and great selection of TV channels and apps. Lovely pub 5 mi uses walk round the corner (The Flying Fish). What's not to like and will definitely stay again if it's available on our next trip to France.

    I thought the bathroom sink was a bit too large (being a double unit) which took a lot of water and developed a 'wash' when used that splashed over the sides. (although it looked very nice but not so practical to use)

    For an overnight stop it had everything that you needed. The bed was very comfortably. Everything supplied. Easy access to enter (key box).

    I liked it all, but would suggest a non slip bath mat in the bath for showering, and a grab rail would be handy . Other than that it was perfect.

    It was very clean and well maintained and equipped. The owner was very friendly and helpful.
