Description from manager
Description
This chic, central bolthole is ideal for families or friends wanting to be close to the restaurants, theatres and attractions of Eastbourne.
Set in a period property with delightful high ceilings and sash windows, but stylishly modern inside, this first floor apartment is located on Spencer Road, by the renowned 'Little Chelsea' area of Eastbourne with its independent boutiques, cafes and bars. It is a stone's throw from the Devonshire Park tennis, where the pre-Wimbledon championships take place, and Eastbourne's family-friendly beach is just a five minutes stroll.
The welcoming hallway, complete with art wall, leads to a contemporary, open plan living space. The sleek kitchen is well equipped for family dining, and there's a small dining table to seat four. The lounge area includes a large flatscreen, multi-channel Smart TV and an iPod docking station, and free WiFi is provided.
The spacious master bedroom can be set up as a kingsize or with twin beds, and the cosy second bedroom is perfect for children with bunk beds. The modern bathroom has a bath with shower over, and houses a small washing machine.
All towels and linen are provided. In peak season, bookings have a week-long minimum stay. Short stays may be available out of season and last minute. Discounts may be possible for long stays. Parking permits can be supplied for £2 per day.

Response from the manager Thank you so much for such a thorough, helpful review - I'm very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the handy location, spotless condition and good level of equipment - the owner is very thoughtful and does try to think of everything :) Here at Exclusively Eastbourne we try to make the booking process as easy and efficient as possible for our guests, and to continue the high level of service throughout a stay - that includes helping with directions, parking permits, etc and also to rectify any issues as soon as we are made aware of them - it's very rewarding to hear that it was much appreciated.

Response from the manager Thank you for the kind words and helpful feedback for future guests. Here at Exclusively Eastbourne Holiday Homes we try our best to look after our guests (be it with travel cots, local advice, parking permits, etc) so it's lovely to hear that they're appreciated). The owner is actually an architect so the design, furnishings and equipment are thoughtful and I'm pleased it all worked for you and your little one. I can definitely recommend a trip to one of theatres at the end of the road - they often get shows straight from the West End and offer a very intimate atmosphere. And like you, we love the cake at the Beach Deck! See you again I hope Carl (Exclusively Eastbourne Holiday Homes)

Response from the manager Thank you for finding time for the feedback. I am mortified to hear your thoughts after your several consecutive bookings with us - you have previously told us that you have remained loyal due to the consistently spotless interiors and quality of our properties and if we have failed to hit our previous highs I sincerely apologise. Our excellent reputation at Exclusively Eastbourne is built upon impeccable customer service, so to arrive 10 minutes late for your arrival was a disappointment to us as well as you. We pride ourselves on maintaining immaculate cleaning standards (as our previous reviews for this property highlight) so immediately returned to the apartment after your call to establish if anything was amiss and to rectify any problems. The flooring in the lounge is exposed high quality sound-proofing material rather than carpeting - the contemporary design fitting in well with the newly refurbished interior. However, it can appear discoloured and for this reason we have discussed changes with the owner and it will have new carpet overlaid upon it this month. We have recently taken on a new cleaner for the apartment (we find that having a single person responsible for a property ensures a consistently good finish) and she had not buffed the kitchen worktop to a level that we demand so she finished it off appropriately after we reviewed requirements. I have to say that whilst the Hoover provided in the apartment and used by the cleaner isn't mind-blowingly powerful it is perfectly serviceable and the floors and carpets will always be clean for guests (obviously prior to any arrival). Similarly, the sash windows are regularly cleaned inside. Since you were with us in the winter the outside can take a battering from the elements so it won't always be free of marks. The communal areas of the building are beyond our control, although we keep an eye on things. The other (permanent) residents are very quiet, and are happy with the more traditional finish of the period building rather than demanding the contemporary style of the holiday apartment The central heating is completely controlled by individual guests to ensure that the temperature is spot on for their needs. Previous guests may have turned the thermostat down, but you can simply turn up the heat to a maximum of 30 degrees as outlined in the welcome pack provided for a really toasty feel. Being a fairly compact apartment it does warm up completely in about half an hour so I'm sorry if you missed the information. We would have talked you through the issue had you ever asked and, indeed, would have turned up the dial when I came to visit. Sorry again if your experience tainted your trip to Eastbourne and I hope we see you again next year. Carl

Response from the manager Thank you so much for your kind words and your feedback for others. At Exclusively Eastbourne Sarah and I look to train our housekeepers in all aspects to ensure that every property is spotless for our guests. But they will be delighted to hear your thoughts when I pass them on :) I'm really pleased that you enjoyed Thorne Lodge - the owner has been very thoughtful in his design and I think the location takes some beating, being so close to the town centre, the train station and also the seafront, and on a lovely quiet street. Thanks again for coming back to us time after time! Carl
