  • "We all thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property – there were 6 of us encompassing 4 generations ."

    The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped throughout. We particularly enjoyed the objects scattered throughout the house and in the garden. My seven-year-old great granddaughter just adored the piano. The garden was so pretty and everyone loved the sauna and hot tub. The games room and the gym were a bonus. It would be difficult to be bored in this house . There is enough room in the drive for at least four large cars. There are 5 bedrooms with comfortable beds,3 of which are en suite. One of the bedrooms has a bath, another has a walk-in shower and the third has just a toilet. There is no communal/shared bathroom in the house. This did not present us with a problem but I think it is something to be aware of.

  • "Thank you so much for a wonderful stay."

    If we ever visit Brighton again, we will surely be returning. The hot tub, sauna, cinena room and golfing activities were throughly enjoyed. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated and a wonderful touch. Unsure if there is one, but clothing horse would be very convenient especially for wet swimwear and towels. Take care :)

    Thanks Paul glad you enjoyed your stay we will put a clothes horse out next time thanks for the tip Property Owner

  • "I couldn’t fault our stay at the Hideaway."

    The property was clean and exactly as advertised. The location is excellent, only a short walk to all the amenities. Any questions were answered promptly and personably. We hope to be going back in the future.

    Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

  • "Is lovely place and very well equipt."

    We all had great stay. My only reserve is that it would be nice if there was a communal bath/shower upstairs, rather than sharing with the en suites.

  • "We had a fantastic Christmas Holiday as we opened the front door the Christmas tree in the hall way with the two Father Christmas's either side of the tree got the grandchildren very excited and the Hamper in the Kitchen was a nice touch."

    All the facilities in the house were great and the decor gave the house a lovely warm feeling. Would recomend this property for a family holiday as it is located near the beach and the all the attractions of the area.

  • "While well appointed with the pool room and sky sports useful given the bad weather, our stay was thoroughly disappointing."

    The property was not clean, to the standard you would expect from a holiday let, and is overly dominated by the owners style and very old decor. There was a rusty, open razor blade left by the sink, and my son had a long pin lodged in his foot from the living room carpet within minutes. We spent the first night cleaning which is not a fair exchange of value for the hefty price tag. The fridge was dirty, there were cob webs everywhere. The toilets were soiled with hair (and worse) and the cheap towelling needed to have its tags removed. We had concerns that the hot tub did not appear to have had its chemicals added - it distinctly felt like ‘fresh’ water. This might not all be the owners fault. As a new property they should have been better served by Sykes in terms of advice of deep cleans and decor, rather than carefully constructing photos which distract from the problems at The Hideaway. I have given extensive feedback including photos, and for transparency received a moderate (in my opinion insufficient) rebate, but future potential l bookings should get some commitments from Sykes that previously raised concerns have all been addressed, as this is not a 5-tick property based on our experience (including users as a very happy user of Sykes cottages, without complaint.

    We accept there were problems with your stay as this was the first time the property was advertised and we were let down by the cleaners. We therefore in correspondence with Sykes gave you compensation. With regard to the decor this is a matter of personal taste but was accurately shown in the photographs. We now have new cleaners and have had the property deep cleaned The hot tub is serviced by a specialist hot tub company pipes are flushed. Filters cleaned and water is chemically treated Property Owner

About the location

HOVE

Lewes 12 miles; Eastbourne 27 miles

A wonderful, quaint town often associated with the neighbouring Brighton to create 'Brighton and Hove', one of the south coast's most popular seaside resorts. Hove itself provides a fantastic range of shops, cafés and restaurants to enjoy down the quirky back streets. There is an excellent sense of community around this area, it's a truly amazing place to spend a holiday. As well as a good choice of amenities, there is plenty to do with a stunning stony beach, Brighton Pier, a SeaLife centre, mini golf and so much more for families and friends to enjoy. Brighton boasts a dominating tower called the British Airways 360, offering amazing views of the town and the sea. An area of Brighton called The Lanes is well worth a look with incredible street art and quaint shops catching your eye around every corner. Hove comes on the fringes of the South Downs National Park and the town has its own fair share of beauty with a range of gardens perfect for taking your dog and having a picnic.
