Spring break

We always want a quiet week in March and Dolphins provided that. Placed close to Eastbourne and Bexhill, although quiet, Pevensey Bay is close enough to life if you want to go out and about. We had lovely weather so made use of the garden. The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. Mike (the owner) is a good communicator and made sure we had all we needed for our stay.

Great summer week at Dolphins in Pevensey Bay

A lovely bungalow 2 minutes walk to Pevensey Beach. Very comfortable home for the week, comfy beds, a beautiful little garden, and everything we needed was here for us. The beach is dog friendly all year round and the garden at Dolphins is completely secure. There are take always and restaurants within a short stroll. A great find, highly recommended.

Nice house in a quiet location

Dolphins has a pleasantly quiet location and a nice neighbourhood. The pebble beach can be easily reached via the short road and was not overcrowded. A bakery, a small shop and several restaurants are within an easy walking distance. A bus stop with bus transport to Eastbourne is nearby. The house is beautiful, with lots of plants and a very pretty garden. The furniture and fixtures are in good condition and the kitchen is equipped with new appliances. We really enjoyed our time at Dolphins.

Excellent stay at Dolphins

We enjoyed our week at Dolphins very much. The house is perfectly located - a short walk to the beach or to the village. Everything you need is there, fully equipped kitchen, parking etc. We were travelling with two dogs and found it very practical for them, too (easy to clean, you can close the doors in the hallway so that they cannot run away while you are getting something from the car etc.). Very friendly and uncomplicated contact with the owners. We also liked the area a lot and will come back when we go to Eastbourne/Pevensey again.

Dolphins

We recently stayed at Dolphins for 5 days and had a lovely time. The property is in an excellent location (close to beach, shops and local pubs) and is well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. The property is deceiving from the outside and very spacious especially the bedrooms. Tiled floors throughout the property which makes it lovely and cool in the hot weather (especially for a dog). Host was very informative from the start and on hand to answer any questions we had. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Roomy bungalow with lovely garden

Dolphins is a well-laid out bungalow with a lovely garden and offers more room than one might think. It is well-equipped and clean bed linen and towels were provided and changed during our longer stay. The interior is a little older and worn in places, but there are certain details, which make for a cosy atmosphere. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the lack of cleaning in some places. The beach and the nearby shops can be reached easily on foot, and for those without a car there is a bus stop just round the corner for journeys to surrounding destinations. The booking process was uncomplicated and Mike was there to meet us. All in all we had a lovely stay in Dolphins.

We all loved it here definitely coming back

One of the best holidays I have ever been on, I went out every day during the holiday. I loved every second of it and, the bungalow is fairly big. I think my personal favourite rooms were the lounge, bog and bedroom that had beds that could be splitted into 2. I had a luscious shower in the built-in shower bit, I would recommend that to anybody although everytime you’d turn the light on the fan kept coming on in the lavatory. Oh, and the small circle mirror that you could pull out next to the big framed square one was handy I’d say. Bath is confusing. I tried to have one, no use. I put hot water tap on first at high, and then I mixed some cold into it and suddenly the shower zapped on which gave me a proper fright. So, I don’t understand that. Also, Mike specified that there’s only a shower on the website? 1 shower?? When in reality there is a bath with a connected shower?? The kitchen is very nice now I am not a fan of gas hobs but that one was good and easy to operate. Cooked my meals quickly. A good bin selection, general-compost-recycling although no soft. It is fair I would say. A cupboard in the kitchen has a basket of pegs which were handy for me. Bedrooms are nice, not the cleanest but it doesn’t bother me. I slept very well each night, I wasn’t woken by cars or anything. Peaceful area. Nice that it is near a beach too, which we took a coupla walks to. My cats loved it here as well. I like the big arrangement of cacti everywhere. A positive 9.7/10! Ps. By Lara, 14.

Spacious, comfortable & well equipped holiday home.

Despite much cool and wet weather we found living in Dolphins a very comfortable and relaxing experience. Given that we had to use the heating in June! - it would be cosy at any time of the year. The owner was most helpful and efficient during booking and check-in. It is perfectly located for Eastbourne and if you just like the beach it is 200 yards away. Local shops, restaurants & take-aways are 5 minutes walk. We can happily recommend this property.
