  He property is very difficult to find, as the Sat nav will not take to to the house which is a fair way down a very rough pot hole track.

  The owner gave us directions but did not give any prominent landmarks like a nearby school and Abbey to know you were heading the right way. We were informed the farm track was marked by a no though road sign but the sign is set back 10 meters from the road and not visible from the road you are travelling on. We were told by the owner that the name plate of the farm had fallen off and not been replaced. On arrival there was a nice welcome from the owner with a bottle of wine and lovely home made brownies, all very nice after spending an about an hour driving in rough back lanes trying to find the address. The second bedroom of the property is very small although it is advertised as a double. Also regarding this room there is no hanging space for clothes only a small drawer unit. Walking around the bed is very tight, really this room is only suitable for two small children. (The twin beds zip together to form a double.) In the main bathroom the shower over the bath does not have a wall fixing or shower curtain or screen, not sure why this is. However the main bedroom is lovely and roomy with a lovely en-suite but this again lacks shelving to store anything, toiletries etc. The whole sight around the cottage is very untidy, weeds and brambles every where. As a holiday home business, on first appearance the whole plot looks uncared for and the garden area run down. We made allowances as it was termed as a farm but it is not a working farm, just three horses, which are stabled right opposite the front door of the cottage. We felt the whole area could be made to look better and more appealing especially to sit on the outside areas. These two areas were not clean on arrival and very basic, so we did not use them. The floors on arrival, throughout the kitchen and lounge area were very sticky so we cleaned them again, as we did not want to make a fuss on our first night. The kitchen and lounge area is nice and adequate for four people, but it would be nice to have four chairs at the dining table and not two and a bench, but that’s just a preference thing really. This was not a cheap property to hire but we took into account the summer time of year and the surrounding south east area. On reflection we did feel with the things we have listed above, that it was not really worth what we paid as the cottage did not meet the requirements for two couples, as listed in the cottage description. We are sure at Sykes cottages you would like to be informed of our findings so you can discuss any changes with the owner that need to be made to the cottage information for any future clients.

  Cherry cottage is wonderful and a real “home from home”. It is very clean and spacious. It is verycosy. Lovely in the winter months with the Aga in the kitchen and the open fire in the sitting room/dining room as well as radiator heating. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable.. Lots of TV’s to keep everyone happy and good internet access.. In the Summer months there is a wonderful garden with seating areas and lovely large garden. It is very quiet so ideal for relaxing. Debbie is very friendly and helpful and easy to contact. Ripe stores is a well stocked shop that is just down the road. They have fresh items such as bread and cakes and act as a pop up pub every Thursday. If you are lucky you could stay there on the Thursday evening when they provide cooked meals too. The Fish & Chip van is there every Thursday as well. Would highly recommend. Our family didn’t want to leave,

  We had a lovely stay at Sandpipers which was a great location for a larger family visiting Brighton. With a few tweaks this good property could be great. We stayed during a heatwave and found it very difficult to sleep in the stuffy upstairs bedroom and really needed a way to cool it down e.g. fans. There is a small sky light which helps a little with ventilation but as it is partially over the bed we also got rained on during the night on occasion! The area is quite hilly and the drive down to the house is steep (hence we didn't even try to park on it) so not suitable for some guests with mobility issues. Ovingdean however is lovely and peaceful and a great location for walks above Brighton and into Woodingdean with some lovely views to take in.

  A group of 7 friends just spent a weekend at the cottage and were really comfortable there. The cottage was absolutely spotless on arrival, with beautiful bedding and soft towels on the beds. There were many thoughtful extras in the cottage, including a full fruit bowl, a tea set on a tray with biscuits and cake as well as a welcome hamper with bread, eggs, muesli and many other things - a really lovely touch. The log fire has been stacked and prepared for us to light which was a nice touch too considering the wet, cold weather we had. We would definitely book the cottage again for a small group visit or even consider going back just as a family. The area is really pretty and we had a lovely pub meal at the Ram closeby.
