Located on a quiet shingle beach, this property is packed with seaside charm, making it the perfect coastal bolthole for families or groups of friends. Wake up to panoramic sea views and enjoy your morning coffee on the large decking, before heading out to explore nearby Pevensey village, Eastbourne, and beyond.

 

Light and airy throughout and entered via some steps, the open-plan home is flooded with natural light, with large windows and bi-folding doors letting the outside in. At night though, the space becomes a warm and comfortable haven, with the wood burner gently crackling as you snuggle on the sofas and bean bags. On warmer evenings, throw open the doors and step outside, sinking into serenity as you watch the gentle waves from the natural beach garden, which leads directly onto Pevensey Bay beach. It’s a great spot for a delicious al fresco dinner, the tantalizing smell of barbecued food mixing with the fresh and salty sea air. Throughout the property, you’ll be welcomed by a subtle and homely decor, perfectly blending with its enviable waterfront location.

 

Enjoy a short walk to Pevensey (1.5 miles) and discover its striking castle, now an English Heritage site. Eastbourne is just a little further along the coast (5.5 miles), where you’ll find its famous pier and the Sovereign Harbour, as well as galleries, fantastic eateries, and fun amusements. The Observatory Science Centre (also 5.5 miles) and Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway (4.5 miles) also offer great days out that the whole family are sure to enjoy, while animal lovers should head to Drusillas Park at Alfriston (10.5 miles) to meet the lemurs and penguins.

Had a wonderful stay at this lodge with my elderly parents and grandchildren. The location is wonderful, waking up to the sounds of the sea and direct access to the beach made the stay memorable. The lodge was well equipped however for the price tag, the lodge was a lot more worn than I would have expected. For example the loungers were rusty, and Read morethe laminated floor could do with replacing in the lounge area as its very worn in places. Whilst dog friendly the garden is not secure Hide

My pregnant daughter and I have just spent a lovely week at Stones Throw. The house was right on the beach which was perfect for her dog who came too There was everything we needed and a kiosk just down the road for extra bits. The Royal Oak and Castle is highly recommended for delicious food. A 40 minute walk or a few minutes by car. On arrival atRead more the cottage we found a bottle of Prosecco, a box of fudge and a carton of milk which was a lovely gesture thank you. Would definitely stay again Hide

This was our 5th time to the Stones Throw Retreat and the improvements done by the owners made it our best visit so far. The new main bed is wonderful (huge and comfy) and the addition of more storage (wardrobes etc.) made a big difference. The bathroom is also much nicer. It has become home from home for us, you can't fault it's tuning for locatioRead moren (I swam every day) and relaxation. Hide

The house beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and tidy. The view from the main living area is stunning and the addition of binoculars and the telescope is a great idea! The kitchen was supplied with everything you could want and there was plenty of plates, cups and glasses. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms lovely.

If you're looking for a spot right on the beach, this is for you. Wake up to a fab view every day. If you're bringing a dog, bear in mind that the outside space is not enclosed, there is no gate meaning your dog could run down onto the road if they're that way inclined, but plenty of room for them to run on the beach. Well equipped and has everythiRead moreng you need. Perfect for families. Bed linen is included but only poly cotton so if you sleep better in cotton, bring your own. Hide

We were delighted by the cleanliness and standard of the cottage. Looking out from the main kitchen/lounge area - directly to the beach and sea was wonderful, from a warm and cozy setting. We enjoyed two very long walks (both directions from the cottage) along the pebbly beach, which certainly blew all cobwebs away. The bottle of Prosecco and TruffRead morele Chocolates was a lovely touch upon arrival. The beds were very comfortable with lovely crisp, white linen. Hide
