Property code: OC-BBWAND

A bright and contemporarily furnished property set on the edge of a small village, this holiday home benefits from exceptional attention to detail that caters for families or groups of friends. The iconic south-coast town of Brighton (4.5 miles) is home to everything from quirky shops and a shingle beach, to a Victorian pier and a vibrant LGBTQ community. The area is crisscrossed by numerous footpaths and trails, including The Undercliff Walk, which links Saltdean to Brighton Marina, running through Ovingdean (1 mile). To enjoy a coastal stroll with fewer people for company, head to the shingle beach at Rottingdean (2.5 miles)

The whole property has a fresh and welcoming feel thanks to the natural light pouring in from windows and floor-to-ceiling doors leading to the garden. Upon entering the property, guests will find a double bedroom and a stairway leading down to a spacious kitchen with table, chairs and TV, a utility room, family bathroom and a welcoming living room with a wood burner, leading seamlessly into the dining room with an inviting wooden balcony. Head down two further sets of interior stairs to find two bedrooms - a super-king and a king size - both of which have TVs and access to the garden.

Outside, guests can enjoy an enclosed, split-level garden with a narrow grass lawn near to the property and a shingle patio area below, with garden furniture and BBQ for dining alfresco. A balcony with table and four chairs is perfect for sundowner drinks.

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 wRead moreith 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. Hide

A lovely home from home with easy access by road to Brighton.Two good sized double bedrooms downstairs and a third smaller double upstairs which is adjacent to the front door. The upstairs was naturally warm but downstairs was cooler. The kitchen and lounge were well furnished and of a very good standard.

A comfortable, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean holiday cottage. Near enough to Brighton to get into town with a short bus ride but moments away from the sea and glorious Downs.

House is lovely, location is great for exploring the south coast. The driveway is extremely steep!! We parked on the road nearby as it wasnt suitable for us to use. Wouldnt rebook at this property due to the drive
