Holiday Cottages In Lower Beeding To Rent

"We rented Densford for a week over the Christmas break. The cottage is well located, pretty and warm. However, the lounge area is incredibly dark only being lit by 2 low table lamps with no side tables for drinks which could very easily have been spilt on the floor. We had to bring down a bedside lamp and table which improved matters a little but still did not give adequate lighting to read comfortably. Likewise, the morning room area isvery dark and we had to move the kitchen table lamp onto the table just to be able to have a comfortable meal. For a winter stay, lighting is relevant and this could easily have been rectified by free standing uplighters and stronger bulbs. There is absolutely no cupboard space in the kitchen for dry storage so for our stay we had to move china and dishes from the only top cupboard so tins, packets etc could be put away. There is china provided but only 2 mugs and an assortment of smaller cups. All of the above caused us a good deal of frustration and inconvenience. One further point is that there is no hanging space in the 2nd bedroom so if both rooms are being used, hanging clothes all have to be kept in the main bedroom. I would also emphasise the steep stairs which I accept have been stated in the particulars. However, for safety you do need both hands free when using them and I would worry about children using them as a fall would not be broken. I completely understand thelimitations in staying in a traditional cottage but many of the above could be resolved inexpensively."

"The cottage was in a great location for what we wanted to do - seeing our son and family in Brighton etc (half-term). The underfloor heating in the bathroom was unexpected but very welcome. However, we did find that the heating system was either very hot or very cold - didn't seem to regulate at comfortable/medium. Only 4 plates and bowls, 1 tea towel and no serving dishes I thought was a little on the 'mean' side especially when trying to make a meal. ALSO, we had a masses of wasps which was quite worrying when our 4 year old grandson came to visit. Apparently, on speaking to the cleaner on the morning of departure the previous people had complained too but nothing seemed to have been done about them!! Advertised as having broadband but we couldn't pick up our e-mails etc which was quite frustrating as we were awaiting a couple of important ones."

"The cottage was certainly up to usual Snaptrip standards. If anything, the property was 'under-sold' in the sense that the garden was much nicer than we were led to believe, having an excellent outlook at the rear and lovely seating areas with enough privacy despite being semi-detached. Proximity to Amberley Castle is also a treat: being able to walk there and back from a fine-dining restaurant on a fine summer's evening was a memorable experience. Perhaps that could also be emphasised (for those who enjoy top-nosh).The only reason for not giving 5 stars was an unfortunate flood we suffered due to a drain blockage. The owner was initially difficult to contact but soon put things right and gave us a nice consolatory gift."

"S13905 provided an ideal location for exploring East Sussex as its proximity to main roads meant it was easy to access many attractions. The owners were welcoming and parking on the road wasn’t a problem as it is a no through road. The cottage is very compact and the twin room’s ceiling slopes significantly (ok for our young children but might be awkward for adults). Beds were solid but the mattresses quite soft and well used which combined with the heat and traffic noise made sleeping difficult. The garden was small and shady - but it did have a good seating and a bbq. As a family we would probably look for more space next time but would certainly consider a holiday in the same area."

"This was our home for 5 weeks while we had flooding repairs on our home. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We were able to celebrate Christmas comfortably. Unfortunately there is no getting away from the proximity of the roads but we got used to it after a while.We discovered a wonderful place nearby to go for long walks with our dog, Southease. There were some lovely touches at the cottage including a good sized welcome pack and a lovely dog bed and feeding bowls for our dog.There are wonderful views from the cottage door !"
