Aug 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent stay at Little Friston Lodge We had a really lovely week at Little Friston Lodge. Amanda and Keith made us very welcome and we were made to feel very much at home. The accommodation was excellent and the use of the large garden with the spectacular views of the South Downs was lovely. Public transport connections to Eastbourne, Beachy Head, Seaford and Brighton are excellent and there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the area. We would definitely like to return next year. ##### Geoffrey G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas S. Jun 28, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Little Friston Lodge The property is in an excellent position for touring the numerous places of interest in the area. The upstairs of the property is spacious, however the kitchen/lounge/dining area is a little cramped for 4 adults. The gardens, which you have full access to, are lovely with stunning views across the downs. For those who enjoy walking there is easy access to the downs without taking the car. ##### Nicholas S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Alison A. Sep 11, 2018 #### A lovely time Little Friston Lodge is a great place to stay. The house is very well equipped, beautfully furnished and very comfortable. The garden is an absolute delight and leads to lovely countryside. Amanda and Keith made us very welcome and left nice things in the kitchen for us to enjoy on our arrival. There is loads to see and do in the area. You can walk to the cliffs, the sea and the nearby village of East Dean or venture further afield. We are very happy to recommend a stay in Little Friston Lodge. ##### Alison A.

Würden uns freuen, wiederzukommen. ##### Hans-Martin D. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Guido Z. Aug 25, 2018 #### Wunderbarer Urlaub in herrlicher Umgebung ! Wir haben 10 wunderschöne Tage hier in der Little Friston Lodge verlebt. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll im englischen Stil eingerichtet und hat eine sehr hochwertige Einrichtung. Schicke, moderne Küche, Sonos-Lautsprecher für Musikgenuss über das schnelle Internet, TV und DVD für regnerische Tage, gemütliche Schlafzimmer mit dicken, weichen Matratzen (mag für viele etwas zu weich sein) und helle Bäder. Das Beste ist allerdings der wunderschöne Garten mit einem atemberaubenden Blick in die englische Landschaft. Viele Sitzgelegenheiten bieten Platz zum Essen, Faulenzen, Lesen oder einfach nur zum Landschaft genießen. Wir haben viel unternommen. Besuche in Eastbourne, dem kleinen Ort East Dean, Brighton oder Seaford, schöne "Spaziergänge" (Wanderungen durften wir nicht sagen, sonst hat unsere Tochter direkt gestreikt) über die Wiesen und an den Klippen entlang, oder einfach nur zum Pub ins Dorf hinunter. Das "Tiger Inn" ist sehr empfehlenswert. Ein einzigartiges Ambiente (draußen und drinnen), leckeres Bier (Tip: Harvey's!) und gutes, traditionelles "Pub-Food". Ein großes Dankeschön an unsere Vermieter Amanda & Keith. Ihr wart so nett und herzlich! Einfach tolle Gastgeber, die mit Rat und Tat Gästen zur Seite stehen. Auch das Willkommenskörbchen mit einer Auswahl an leckeren Sachen war liebevoll zusammengestellt. Es war alles in allem wie Urlaub bei Freunden. Gerne kommen wir irgendwann wieder ! ##### Guido Z.
