“WONDERFUL, PEACEFUL, HOME FROM HOME”

Reviewed 24 Apr 2022

WONDERFUL, PEACEFUL, HOME FROM HOME Just back from a fabulous stay at the Sunshine Cottage, Chapel St Leonards. Great location it felt like a home not a holiday home. It is in a residential area. (Remember to put the bin out on the appropriate day, just like at home). We do not have a dog so were a little concerned that there might a smell of dog (something that cannot be helped), but the house smelt fresh and very clean. It was a great surprise to find two bannisters going up the stairs, to haul ourselves up as we are not as mobile as we used to be. The shower/bathroom is on the ground floor and the bedrooms are on the first floor so bring your bathrobe/dressing gown. There is a toilet on the first floor. The garden is large and sheltered with a large crazy paved patio area including a large patio table and plenty of chairs. Also, a large grassed area. The village is a couple of minutes by car but easily walkable if you are able bodied. The Italian (La Pazza) in the village and the Trafalgar Inn at the end of Ancaster Avenue are excellent eating places. We did have a small issue with the heating system but this was quickly resolved by the housekeeper Vanda. An excellent place to stay. We will go back sometime.

“Comfortable, quiet and excellent for the dogs”

Reviewed 28 Sep 2019

Took elderly parents for a week away at Chapel St Leonards and had a very enjoyable time. We have two large dogs, they loved the space of the garden and we loved the fact it was very secure for them to run free. All bedrooms are upstairs but the two handrails up the stairs made it accessible for the old folks and the small upstairs bathroom was very handy. Downstairs larger bathroom had a large bath with an over bath shower. Topping up the electric on the key was no problem at all. The kitchen is a good size with everything we needed. The beds were comfy and the place was always warm enough. Our parents really enjoyed their stay.
