"The cottage was really lovely, facilities very good and the kitchen well equipped."
Bed's really comfortable but sofas not so. The only thing missing is a nonslip mat in the shower. We had a wonderful holiday and will return. We did however have trouble with getting into the property and waited for an hour outside for the owner.

"This cottage is ideal for those wanting some peace & quiet & getting away from it all."
It is certainly remote but in an ideal place for beach walks. Bexhill & Eastbourne easy access.
The cottage is well equipped & comfortable & well presented, with typical features for an older style property.
Steep stairs & low ceiling points & downstairs WC all need to be highlighted for anyone with accessibility issues.

"Property facilities were exactly as detailed in the brochure, well presented and high standard of cleanliness."
The area was very quiet , but so well served by the train service that we were able to make great use of and leave the car at the cottage most days, for both visits further afield and allowing more exploration on foot along the coastline.

"The property was very good for 2 people getting away for some peace and quiet providing that a member of the party is not over 6 foot 4 inches tall as the step down into the kitchen is low and also the access to the bedrooms."
However these 2 issues apart gave us no problems in the long run.

"Lovely clean and cosy cottage with sea view in a quiet location right by the sea."
Beds were super. Parking is easy just leave space for the neighbouring cottage on end. Low ceiling in kitchen for any plus six footers. Due to stairs and steps into kitchen, not suitable for anyone unsteady on their feet. Ideally located for shingle beach walks and a train station if you want to leave the car behind.

"We have just returned from our lovely week in fisherman’s cottage."
I would highly recommend if you are wanting/needing time to relax on a beach or in beautiful surroundings away from the hustle and bustle of busy towns or work. The beach is less than a minute away, it’s very clean and quiet. Fisherman’s cottage is very clean/modern and has everything you need and more. Graham went out of his way to get a high chair and travel cot for our 8 month old baby which meant I didn’t have to bring 2 cars to get everything in, which was a great help. Graham also welcomed us on arrival to make sure we was ok. The only downside is I’m 6ft tall and kept banging my head on the ceilings which my 5yr old son found hilarious. Thanks for everything Graham, We will be returning asap.

everything was provided if not it was only a phone call away. Bedding, towels everything was clean almost new, working as expected.

. the cottage has recently been refurbished and had every amenity imaginable. The wood burner was an excellent addition and made the winter nights cosy and comfortable. Fisherman’s Cottage is certainly a great escape from city life and with a train station 5mins away you have access too all the local coastal towns for an adventurous trip away. My advice if you are venturing there without a car, order in a supermarket food delivery the night you arrive.

"Loved Fisherman's cottage."
It's a really sweet cottage in a quiet relaxing area.
Stayed for a few days in January but was lucky with the weather. Walking on the beach 50 yds away and watching the sunrise was lovely.
It's: comfortably furnished, nicely decorated, well equipped kitchen, lovely comfy beds and bedding, wood burning stove, sweet garden ( partially shared with next door) and parking. It is a 5 mins walk to the train station which was great as it's so nice not to have to use the car and surprisingly cheap fares to Eastbourne, Hastings, Lewes, Brighton.
This is a very quiet area with a pub serving food a 10 min walk across the fields or a few minutes drive. It's very dark at night in the street (no street lights) hence no light pollution which means you can see the stars...loved that!
Great views of the beach from the double room, and listening to the waves at night was so relaxing.
The owner was very helpful and was on hand to answer questions. The heating broke down but the owner quickly brought over a heater whilst he sorted the heating out.
If you want to chill then this is the place.

"The Fisherman’s Cottage makes a perfect winter weekend getaway from London, there’s a direct train to Norman’s Bay in under 2 hours, and it’s a short walk to the cottage."
The cottage itself was really cosy, recently decorated with lovely soft carpets and a roaring open fire (beautiful, but even without was toasty from the central heating). I happily listened to a storm raging out over the sea in the middle of the night from under the fluffy duvet, and sunlight flooded through the windows looking out to sea in the morning. No need to take masses of provisions down either, as there is a short walk across a field to the Star Inn for dinner, or a couple of miles along the beach to the Cooden Beach Hotel with a bigger menu, and after a large glass of wine, we got the train back! Hard to imagine anywhere more relaxing.
