Just 10 minutes walk to the train station but step through a gate and into another world of birdsong, humming bees and tranquility. Close to a 12th century pub and church, the delightful Gildredge Park (with a cafe offering the best homemade cakes in town!) and an easy stroll to the beach, theatres and all the best on offer in Eastbourne. The adults-only cottage is an annexe to the owner's main house, yet has its own private entrance. It has a double bed in the bedroom and a bathroom with bath and shower over. The living space has a sofa in front of the TV and small dining table. Although you may prefer to eat outside in the glorious gardens... The kitchen is well equipped and includes a fridge, separate freezer, oven/hob, microwave and washing machine. Central heating provides cosiness if you're seeking a winter getaway and hot water is on tap. WiFi provided, plus linen and towels. One well behaved and well socialised small adult dog which has been spayed / neutered may be permitted at an additional fee, but please discuss with us before booking as this in on a selective basis and the owner requests more information. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Freezer - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Deluxe Apartment | Free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89730000/89725500/89725461/07c28bf7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Osborne Apartments Eastbourne - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Microwave 9.0 Wonderful 97 reviews £77 includes taxes & fees 31 Mar - 1 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=89725461&PinnedHotelID=89725461&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Panoramic Double Room, Ensuite, Ocean View (Sea View) | Desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/14000000/13090000/13089900/13089896/0a01a0c4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### West Rocks Townhouse Eastbourne - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Housekeeping - 24/7 front desk 8.6 Excellent 215 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-13&endDate=2026-04-14&selected=13089896&PinnedHotelID=13089896&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/25000000/24230000/24224800/24224796/30269296.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Downsgate Cottage just a short walk the famous South Downs and Beachy Head.

Roy and Sue the property owners gave us a warm welcome and were lovely.The bedroom as always cool which i loved. The bed was not that com.fortable however back home we have a super king premier inn hypnos bed so we have been spoilt. The double patio doors leading to the patio area was the thing i loved most as the weather was great so i sat outdoors most evenings and also during the daytime under the parasol shade. Sue has created and nurtured a beautiful outdoor living space . Archie the cat visited us most early mornings ##### Linda W.
