Lovely bright bungalow. Everything you need for a holiday was supplied. The suggestion from Mike the host to use the bus into Eastbourne was invaluable & the bus stop was just a few steps away. Plenty of amazing places to eat nearby too.

We had a great time in mikes house. Best thing about it is the great location though with just a 1 min walk to the beach. We couldn’t ask for a better location.
We enjoyed our stay at the Dolphins and would come again. The bungalow is well equipped, comfy beds and loved the shower! Peaceful location and a good selection of eating places/takeaways.Bus stop/Post box/Beach close.

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.

Property was a good all rounder but we did feel it was over filled with personal effects and was beginning to feel a little tired and a deep clean would bring it back to a great holiday let

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.

Thank you for your kind comments highlighting the quality of the accommodation and the fact we have so many good amenities just a short walk away. This year we have introduced a large discount for guests who book a week or more. Our holiday home Dolphins provides clean, comfortable, high-quality accommodation and we take pride in offering a relaxing, value-for-money seaside holiday.
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.

Thanks for the great review, we are delighted you all enjoyed holiday. We take pride in offering a great location and accommodation for a relaxing and traditional seaside holiday throughout the year Please message Mike to discuss your next holiday 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.

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.

Thank you for your kind comments We find the tilled floors at Dolphins are a huge bonus, they also allow us to thoroughly steam clean prior to each let and the rugs and central heating keep it clean and warm in the winter.
We hope you will return soon. We are currently offering large discounts for Sunday to Sunday weekly lets, contact us for more details.

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.

Thank you for reviewing your holiday at Dolphins. This year we have introduced a 4 night mini break, however, our discounted Sunday to Sunday weekly lets represent our best value for money holidays. if you have any questions or queries please send us a message or contact our helpline.
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!

Sehr ruhig gelegenes Cottage mit nahem Strand. Gemütlich. Ca 2-3 Minuten zu Fuß. Der Strand ist nicht überlaufen, sondern eher ruhig. Auch bei Ebbe gibt es genug Wasser im Meer. Hatten mehrere sehr warme Tage zum Baden. Alles, was man braucht ist vorhanden. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Ort und im nahegelegenen Eastbourne sehr gut möglich. Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt im Dolphins. Nach einer Woche gab es neue Handtücher und Bettwäsche. Auch das Vermieterehepaar ist sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Der Pub "Castle Inn" ist zu Fuß in ca. 5 Minuten zu erreichen. Unbedingt besuchen! Pevensey Bay ist auch ein gute Basis für Ausflüge in die nähere und weitere Umgebung, Brighton, Stonehenge und Canterbury haben wir von hier aus auch besucht. Ein Ausflug nach London ist vom Bahnhof Polegate per Zug sehr gut möglich. Tipp von Frau Rham, vielen Dank! Kommen gerne einmal wieder! Haben uns sehr gut erholt!

Ideale Lage am Strand (allerdings reiner Kiesstrand und herausfordernd bei Flut, Baden eher schwierig) und in große Nähe zu vielfältigen Angeboten für ganze Familie (Natur, Geschichte-Schlösser, Entertainment, typisch britische Dörfer)-England at its best😄. Haus sehr geräumig (wir waren 2 Eltern, 3 Kinder 20, 17, 11), viele Betten und Zimmer., Garten. Sehr hilfsbereiter host.

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.
