Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the hut being 'amazingly clean', indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes positively to their overall experience.
The location is described as perfect, with amazing views and a peaceful setting close to Lewes and the coast, making it a highly appreciated aspect of the property.
The hut is noted for being warm and comfortable, even in a small space. However, one review suggests it may be less comfortable if the weather does not permit sitting outside.
There is not enough specific information on the state of facilities and maintenance to provide a score. Reviews mention the property being well-equipped but do not detail the facilities' condition or maintenance.
Guests have fondly noted the thoughtful gestures, such as a cream tea, which add to the welcoming atmosphere. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, they are unique to each stay and may vary.

We were made most welcome by the owners, and we had a lovely break despite mixed weather, which we could not complain about as after all, it was mid-March in England! Gorgeous views (when the weather allowed) and I should imagine it would be idyllic during the summer months.
