What our customers say about their holidays

  A fantastic stay in this property.

  We were made to feel special straight away with the welcome basket. A warm, cosy, original cottage in the heart of the friendly old town. Amenities close to hand and a great base for sight seeing/ visiting old haunts. Clean & well maintained. Cosy beds, great kitchen, cute living space, lovely bathroom ( great first a pamper) and plush carpet. Useful feedback: Kitchen: Would benefit from a tin opener/ bottle opener, waste food recycling bin, glass recycling bin outside and a sieve. Left hand tap handle kept falling off. Living room: instruction folder for telly, heating and microwave. Comments book & a lamp (for subdued lighting in evening). We used two from upstairs and made it feel even more cosy. We were there when bad weather struck so lots of cold air coming in under front door. Optional draft excluder may help in winter months. We know this is a new holiday rental and is work in progress so this is why we have added more suggestions. For me, my sister, two girls and a dog this was a fantastic property and nice to see a different aspect of the old town. Our grandparents used to live in Eastbourne and this break helped us say goodbye.

  We stayed for 10 days with our dog and found this cottage excellent for all our needs.

  Very clean and everything provided to make it a comfortable stay. There is a patio area where you can sit out which is quite a sun trap in the afternoon. We also received a welcome pack which was really kind. The location in the old town is really nice close to a supermarket, a few pubs, two of which were really lovely, The Lamb and The Rainbow which are good for food and drinks and also dog friendly. A few minutes walk away is a lovely big park. Eastbourne is a very nice seaside town with a lovely promenade if you like to walk, and plenty of shops. A good place to stay if you like to do a bit of sight seeing, we visited Herstmonceux Castle, Hastings, Peveney, Brighton and Battle. You can walk to Beachy Head from Eastbourne along the coastal path. We did have great weather which also contributed to our lovely holiday.

  Longmace house is a beautiful property which kept the old features and combined it with modern touches. It is bang in the middle of Arundel so was a great base to explore the town and its surrounding areas. The property was very spacious and well equipped, perfect for a family getaway or even a gathering with friends. We also luckily stayed during a weekend where the farmers market was held and it was a real treat. Although no allocated parking, I wouldn’t worry about it, plenty of car parks and on street parking, there is also free parking on mill road if you get lucky with a space. We had a restful and enjoyable stay, plenty of walks for the dog too. We highly recommend this place and Paul was very informative prior to our arrival which was a bonus.

  Despite previous guests making comments, there are still items lacking in the kitchen: corkscrew, spatula, ladle, oven proof casserole would all be welcome.

  The grill pan was greasy and all mugs were unwashed. The hand soap dispenser was empty in bathroom, and no bin. The sheets and duvet cover are unpleasant polyester cotton, with stained mattress covers and one pillowcase was badly marked. The front bedroom would benefit from a curtain due to lights on overnight in antique shop opposite. There is little storage in second bedroom and tins of paint in one cupboard alongside extra pillows (already 4 provided) and covers in the front bedroom. The hot water thermostat is set too high and could scale someone. Already others have mentioned the bathtub issue, it could be solved with circular shower curtain and head fixed to wall. Overall disappointed with the facilities and cleanliness.

  We loved our stay at Longmace and had a great time. The cottage was restored to an extremely high level and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The location was superb. Communication with the owner was really good and he answered any queries/questions promptly and helpfully. We would definitely return to this amazing place. From our perspective the only downside is that there is no outside space but that is made clear in the particulars and may only cause an issue in the summer. However, the location almost negates that. We also felt that due to the fact that this is a very old building, the structure is such that in two of the bathrooms you need to be a ninja to negotiate the space!
