We very much enjoyed our stay in the property.
It is compact but there's plenty of storage space. It's clean and tidy and everything looks new(ish). There are two allocated parking spaces which was important to me - when I retired I spent far more than I should have on a car and I am very particular (paranoid according to my wife) where I park it. The shower is amazing and easy to use. I am not sure I can describe it adequately - you have to see it for yourself really. We ate out every night at the Sovereign Harbour which is about 15 minutes walk at a reasonable pace. There's loads of choice including Indian, Thai, Turkish, Italian, Mediterranean, Kebab/burger/fish and chips, and a Harvester. I can definitely recommend the Indian and Turkish restaurants. There is also a pub which is a sports bar which is very lively. This suited us but might not be everyone's cup of tea. Eastbourne is a little further away than we were comfortable walking so we used the local bus service. Fortunately there is a bus stop only about 50 yards from the property where you can catch the number 5A service. Unfortunately the service is not very frequent and on two occasions a bus was cancelled leaving us to wait another 30 minutes. You can take other services (3 or 4 different services in all I think so quite frequent) but these go to and from the supermarket just beyond that Sovereign Harbour restaurant area so it's about a 20 minute walk each way. Other than the cancelation mentioned, the services seem quite good and on time. Our bus passes from our home town of Gloucester worked and so we were able to travel free of charge. We have no plans to go back to Eastbourne because there are so many other places to visit but if we did we would happily book this property again.

This property was not what we were expecting as described on the Sykes website.
We were greeted by the owner, who was very welcoming and the cottage appeared ok on arrival. However, there were several aspects that have left us extremely disappointed with our stay: 1. We found the shower to be grubby and woodlice on the cubilcle floor - so we did not use it. 2. The settee was very low, well worn and stained on the arms. The covering blankets smelt musty. 3. The windows were difficult to open and the wooden frames are rotting away. 4.One of the electric fires had a faulty on/off button and did not work. 5. Kitchen equipment was well worn - saucepan and frying pan badly scratched - and we had to wash everything before using. 6. Woodlice, slugs and a worm were found in the kitchen, by the sink area, on the floor and back door throughout our stay. 7. Overall the property needs a good spruce up and problems raised above need addressing We felt that the description of the *cottage on your site was misleading and that on this occasion the fee we paid was excessive for this property.

This was our third stay at Standard Hill Cottage.
A lovely quiet setting in a very convenient location for exploring the local area and eateries. We cooked two simple pasta meals at the cottage during our stay, having pre planned to eat out at other times. The Red Lion in nearby Hooe is a favourite and we discovered Pierre Bistrot and The Pilot, both in Eastbourne on fhis visit too. The gardens at Herstmonceux Castle are constantly changing with the seasons so it was lovely to see them in April this year. Whilst itâs lovely to be out and about itâs also so to come back to somewhere that feels welcoming and homely and we feel both welcomed and at home at Standard Hill Cottage. Mary, the owner of the large house in whose grounds the cottage sits is unobtrusively on hand if needed. And the large gardens and adjoining fields and wooded area are there to enjoy for those more active than us. All being well another visit is definitely in the cards.

Standard Hill Cottage is tucked at the side of the owners large house and gives out onto a large and mature garden space with a lot of well cut grass.
Itâs just lovely to open the curtains in the morning after a very dark and peaceful nights sleep and see nature on your doorstep. Then sit with a coffee outside. The cottage has everything thatâs needed and Mary the lovely owner whose there but unobtrusive unless needed is more than willing to assist in making your stay as good as possible. The cottages location gives easy access to the local area. And some good pubs and restaurants. The Red Lion in Hooe is worthy of note as is the Sovereign Marina between Pevensey Bay and Eastbourne. Here youâll find an Asda, petrol station Boots, M&S, and other stores alongside the many restaurants and cafes etc around the marina itself. Parking is free here too and ideal for anyone with mobility or access issues. This was our second visit to Standard Hill and I hope not our last

With hindsight, booking a converted outbuilding for the coldest week for years with temperatures barely going above freezing when the "Beast from the East" arrived, was probably not the best choice.
But we survived. The cottage was well insulated with secondary glazing to stop any drafts and although there was only electric heating we were not cold. When out, the sun shone through the large windows and sitting inside watching the sunset was beautiful. The owner had wisely gone on holiday to somewhere much warmer and left a relative in charge. They checked we were OK in the extreme conditions and would have provided anything extra we needed. We left a couple of days early to ensure safe travel home and because the places we'd liked to have visited were closing due to the extreme weather. The cycling and walking we'd like to have done was also not going to be pleasant. We'll probably return in better weather to do the things we'd missed out on. In normal weather I'm sure the cottage would be very pleasant.
