Description from owner
Description
Lamb's Knees is a luxury Victorian seaside holiday home, built in 1863 and set within flint walled gardens with off-street parking. It is fabulously situated in the historic heart of Seaford only 4 minutes walk to the beach, 1 minute to local shops and restaurants and 10 minutes walk to the start of the South Downs National Park which encompasses the iconic Seven Sisters White Cliffs & Cuckmere Valley.
The house is quirky, characterful and wonderfully spacious offering 3 Bedrooms, Playroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen & Snug. The 'Snug' is a fabulous room, with a wood burning stove, which opens into the kitchen ideal for chatting & relaxing with family & friends whilst keeping an eye on cooking dinner. With so much space available everyone can find their own little spot, perfect for families travelling with grandparents or couples & friends holidaying together.
Children absolutely love the 3rd floor dedicated Playroom filled with a treasure trove of toys & books and accessed via a 'secret' staircase. We are exceptionally well kitted out for Babies & Toddlers with all the essentials: wooden cots, bouncer chairs, playpens, monitors, highchair, stair gates, sterilizer, plastic plates & cutlery, potty, toddler toilet seat. If you fancy a romantic night out we can arrange a fabulous babysitter who is fully qualified & certified, to look after your little ones. (advance booking required).
Style
Neutral hues, with splashes of colour create a sense of calm and space. Quirky, yet homely, 18th & 19th century furniture in solid elm, oak & copper accentuate the history & curiosity of the house.

“Fabulous stay on South Coast”

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review for Lamb's Knees. We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and were able to make use of all the baby and toddler equipment supplied. We try to make Lamb's Knees safe (with all the equipment) and exciting (the 3rd floor playroom) for children whilst relaxing and luxurious for adults. We are so lucky that there are many lovely restaurants and cafes within 5 minutes walk of the house so our guests can enjoy a holiday breakfast or locally sourced dinner or a sneaky cake and coffee :-). There are also so many fabulous attractions in the local area from dramatic coastal walks to an award winning zoo, so something fro everyone. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Lamb's Knees on your next seaside escape.

“Super break”
We just couldn’t fault the facilities in the house, everything was great, the toy room warrants special mention, it’s more like a toy shop. The welcome pack that Laura and Ian provided added a personal touch to our stay. Great location for all Seaford amenities.

Response from the owner Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for Lamb's Knees. We're delighted that you and your family enjoyed your stay and that your grandson had lots of fun in the playroom. Yes, the house is particularly well positioned for all the lovely restaurants and cafes in Seaford as well as wonderful coastal walks, award winning zoo & dinotastic Paradise Park. We would be delighted to welcome you back on your next trip to the Sussex coast.

Response from the owner Thank you so mauch for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for Lamb's Knees. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you had lots of fun exploring the surrounding area. We are very lucky to have the dramatic Seven Sisters coastal walk right on our doorstep. In recent months there have been several movies filmed there capturing the beautiful panoramic views. Lewes is a short drive away, we love having a nose around its many antique shops. Eastbourne usually has stunning floral displays along the extensive seafront which makes it feel very tropical and best topped off with a cream tea on the Victorian Pier! We would love to welcome you back to Lamb's Knees on your next coastal exploration.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to leave such a fabulous review for Lamb's Knees. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that after a 6 hour drive you were thrilled with your welcome pack which allowed you to immediately relax and get your holiday started. We get our lovely bathroom soap from Arran Aromatics based in Scotland, we will have a new fragrance for you to try on your next visit! So pleased that your Grandson thoroughly enjoyed his time in the Playroom and that he was surrounded by every toy he could possibly want and that the grown ups enjoyed all the traditional family games. Lamb's Knees is an ideal house for a family visit as there is lots of space if people want some time to themselves but equally lots of space for the family to gather together. We are delighted that you have found a slot to come back and visit us and that we can once again look after you whilst you reunite with your family.

“What a wonderful house.”
This house cannot fail to impress. A beautifully decorated place with everything you could possibly need included. It is really nicely located, close to almost every amenity & just 5 minutes from the beach. It suited our purpose perfectly as it is situated on the cusp of the South Downs National Park close to some of the most stunning scenery in the entire South East of England. A short distance from several larger seaside resorts such as Brighton & Hove & surrounded by many historical towns like Lewes & Battle. The owner was extremely thoughtful & friendly & very attentive & flexible when addressing our needs. Highly recommended.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for Lamb's Knees. We were delighted that your Japanese students were so excited to be staying in a traditional Victorian House and that they told everyone they met about it :-). We're so pleased that they were able to get a real taste of the South Coast of England and experience the dramatic coastal walks, the historical castles and the little 'chocolate box' villages. We enjoyed sourcing traditional English delights for them such as the Sussex Cream Tea with fresh lemonade along with Battenberg cake. We would be delighted to welcome you and your guests back to Lamb's Knees on your next visit.

Response from the owner Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and found that the house had everything you needed for staying with young children. It was so nice to see how enthusiastic your little ones were when they found their bedrooms, with teddies already waiting for them in their beds and the squeals of delight when they discovered the play room. Yes, Lamb's Knees is in a perfect position for the local shops and restaurants whilst still being only a few minutes walk to the beach and the South Downs National Park. We look forward to welcoming you back to Lamb's Knees on your next seaside escape.

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review for Lamb's Knees. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and particularly delighted that you were able to have a stress free holiday whilst travelling with little ones. The Play Room and DVD collection really does ensure that the children enjoy their holiday which in turn means that the adults get some well deserved time to relax. Yes, Drusilla's Zoo is one of our favourite places to go with our son as it is less than 10 minutes drive from the house. There are lots of animals to fascinate the children and huge play areas to enjoy too. Their latest attraction 'The Rainforest Carousel' is very exciting (for children and adults) where you can ride upon your favourite animal - I chose the Poison Dart Frog today! Lamb's Knees is particularly well situated only a few minutes walk to the beach with the shops and restaurants only 1 minute away and with the South Downs on your doorstep for some magnificent coastal walks. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Lamb's Knees in the future so that you can explore more of the many things the South Coast has to offer.
