Host & Stay | Saltdean Sea View — Guest Reviews

Property not totally private with downstairs neighbour passing bedroom & kitchen windows also had a food delivery driver knock for downstairs neighbour as although there are signs its not particularly clear.Property is dated and very tired in places and needs money spent to upgrade.I had to leave my car on the road outside as the driveway is very steep, my car could not make it without grounding, this would be any issue for most cars, for us this was also very inconvenient for my parents as with mobility issues as they had to walk down the steps which have no handrail, I booked the property as it was on all one floor & so this was frustrating!My duvet cover and sheet was stained in a few places, one of the pillow slips was also stained. Very poor! bedroom carpet frayed, cobwebs down the side of bedside cabnet, chest of draws needed cleaning inside, a travel case and bag of random stuff in wardrobe. Windows dirty, front door area not inviting as it was dirty and there was a few bits of rubbish out there. Mould in shower around the door runners, floor edging broken and overall in need of work. Kitchen dated and in need of work. Bit of a shame as view was nice from the lounge & sofas comfy but would not recommend.

Very good property, in need of a bit of updating and some attention to detail, but cheaper than the Premier Inn stayed at previously. Be aware, the "slope" down to the house is VERY steep. This was especially challenging with elderly relatives. There are steps as well, but they could do with a handrail.

This property has been completely mis sold. It is not a bungalow, it is a top floor of converted house with people living below. I required a washing machine and dishwasher as had young baby and our group were 8 guests. Dishwasher smelt and dirty but washing machine had thick sludge mould that I could not use for baby clothes. The property had not been cleaned since previous guests, kitchen was dirty and bin half full. Oven was greasy and dirty and toaster covered in crumbs. I slept in a bed without a duvet cover, after only finding a duvet on the floor in a wardrobe but no cover. No sheets etc for sofa bed. Nail clipping on bed side table. Case full of kids clothes in wardrobe, photos and items in drawers. I can’t really emphasise how bad it was and ruined a very important family event. Due to Host and Stays very AI messages we didn’t actually find out what went wrong with preparation of the property. Over 9 days later I still haven’t received an explanation from owner or host.

Great value and location for visiting Brighton and the University of Sussex. Comfortably slept 8 for a conference trip.

The accomodation was nice, clean and spacious . It also had really nice views . One thing i would recommend is Fans for guests staying in the summer months, as UK has been having a lot of heat waves lately it would be nice to provide fans in the rooms and living area to use during the summer months . Nevertheless it was really lovely and cozy, and not too hot when the windows are open. Ideal for family and the location was peaceful. There was no issue experienced.

Suited our needs. Positive: Location was for a funeral nearby. Negative: Washing still in the dishwasher. Plus on the draining board. The single beds were not split. Or the sofa bed made up. WiFi code was not as on the frame. We had to track down the router. One toilet roll for 6 people! That said, it suited us and it was a quiet location.

The property is actually split in two with the downstairs a separate unit. This wouldn't be an issue if their access didn't involve coming past your bedroom, bathroom and kitchen every time. As a result we had to keep the blinds closed all the time during our stay for privacy. It also confused delivery men who came round the side and knocked on our kitchen door several times by mistake. The property is in need of maintenance and a really good clean (particuarly the bathroom which had mould in the shower, a broken plug in the sink and the edging of the bath which was broken on the floor). On a positive the views from the balcony across Saltdean down to the sea are wonderful although there is no furniture so we had to use the dining room chairs to sit outside on the balcony and appreciate the view.

A nice clean house in a good location

We had a lovely couple of days here. The property is spacious, clean, and in a quiet spot with amazing views, the sea on one side and open fields on the other. Charlie, the property manager, was great and quick to respond to any enquiries. Only a 17 minute drive to Brighton city centre. Saltdean is officially my new favourite place in the south! 😀

Great hosts and lovely property.

Great place to stay and very responsive host. We have rebooked twice now.

The accommodation was very clean and tidy with a great balcony view. Very peaceful surroundings and a 15 minute drive from Brighton centre

Very nice 👌
