Kid-friendly holiday rentals in East Sussex

We had a lovely four night stay with our kids. The gardens were very special and we especially enjoyed the outside BBQ and dining space. The house is in a wonderful setting - very peaceful and right next to the train station to Rye and Hastings (ideal if you don't love country roads).

Great place to stay. Close to the beach and promenade. Plenty of variety in the many local restaurants and cafes nearby. Hastings pier and town is a short walk away.

We stayed here 4 nights. Altho the temperatures outside we quite high it remained really nice and cool inside, which we liked a lot. The garden is really cozy and provides both sun and shadow which makes it a pleasant place to relax. Everything was as described and the flowers and milk provided were welcoming extras. The only criticism we have is that the countertop felt a bit sticky and that the cupboards are quite cluttered and we had to search sometimes to find what we needed. Overal we would definitely recommend staying here.

I enjoyed my weekend at Sandra's place. It was a pleasant surprise. Sandra catered for all of my needs. There was a lovely informative welcome pack with "goodies". The accomodation felt like home from home. It was quiet and relaxing. I hope to visit again. It's a great place to recharge one's batteries very peaceful.

We head down to the Sussex coast for a family weekend. It was built around a gift of a visit to Tillingham winery. Castle Fort matched our expectations perfectly…. Sea views and sounds, huge open planning living area, very appointed…. A home from home by the sea It was practically perfect. We had one small hiccup. I think we were the first guests for quite a while and the water system pressure was low, which challenged us on the first night but Georgina stepped up and we solved the problem This is a perfect spot if you want to explore the delights of Rye, what a find Very comfortable with everything you could ever want in a holiday let Definitely will return

Had a fabulous stay here Beautiful setting Melissa was very helpful Restful and comfortable

A very comfortable, homely cottage set in a beautiful, peaceful location. Peter and Marilyn were friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed walking from the cottage without having to use the car, but there was easy access by road to many attractions. During our short stay we visited Rye, Rye Harbour, Bateman's House and Garden and Eastbourne. We highly recommend this cottage.

What a wonderful place……everything as described….David & Donna provided a great welcome pack. The house had everything needed for a relaxing break. Beach was quiet and clean. Games room was a hit for the competitive people in our group! View from the sitting room was stunning ……Plenty of parking and was very easy to find.

Had an amazing stay in St Leonards and the flat was lovely, with views of the ocean and only a 5 minute walk to nearby stores and restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Great stay, apartment was clean and had great amenities. That view is worth it all.

Hi Tom, It was a pleasure to stay at your place over the last few days. Everything was as described and many thanks for the extensive information on food recommendations and the surrounding area. It was so wonderful waking up to the fantastic views across the sea. The accommodation was just as described and we had a lovely time.

Beautiful place to stay. We will definitely be back 💜

Thank you for a lovely stay Zed. Your flat is beautiful and so perfectly situated. Such an easy walk to the beach, to wonderful shops and restaurants, and lots of options for great coffee. Thank you too for being such a helpful and communicative host. I would highly recommend.

Great and cozy place to stay close to stunning nature. Deirdre was extremely nice and helpful. We are looking forward to come back.

We had a fabulous w/e in this wonderful 1st floor flat - the rooms are so spacious with views straight out to sea from the living area, and we loved all the decor, linen, and finishing touches, we felt very much at home. Very easy to walk to St Leonard’s along the prom with loads of food and drink options, plus sauna on the pier at Hastings was great fun! Thank you Caroline for a great stay 😊

Thank you Mathew for allowing us to stay with our dogs. Even though our stay was an emotional one, we felt right at home and that made things a whole lot easier. Being Autistic with other disabilities/difficulties, it can be very hard travelling and staying away at different locations. From the moment we arrived we felt like we belonged which really helped me to cope, thank you We loved the basement apartment, it was perfect from everything it offered, to the unique quaintness of its character, to how quiet it was, to feeling so warm and inviting. We look forward to returning again

Simon was really helpful and available at all times for any queries. He gave great recommendations for local restaurants etc and the place is central with free parking opposite.

I had a really lovely stay! Paul was really responsive over message and flexible in letting me drop luggage and check in early as the flat was ready due to an early check out. The flat is so well stocked and Paul goes above and beyond, supplying bread, milk eggs, cereals etc and the bathroom is stocked with everything you need should you forget anything. Location is very near the train station and St Leonards and Hastings is lovely. I found a lot of things were closed on a Sunday or Monday but there was still a lot to wander around and I loved the peacefulness.

Very happy with our stay , a lovely clean flat ,great location ,couldn't ask for more , responsive owners which always makes life easier.

We have just arrived home after a wonderful short break at Seascape, celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. Seascape is a beautiful apartment. Spotlessly clean and it felt like it had been newly decorated and furnished. It’s great to have two levels and two bathrooms. Felt very spacious and incredibly peaceful with the most glorious view. We spotted dolphins out in the bay from the balcony. Highly recommended. By far the best Airbnb we’ve stayed in. We also enjoyed the cafes and restaurants in St Leonard’s and the walk to Bexhill. Really didn’t want to return to 30 degrees heat in London. Thank you!

This was our fourth stay here at David's Annexe which really speaks for itself. It's the gift that keeps giving each time we return. The annexe was spotlessly clean as always ,with all aspects of our stay catered for.We wanted for nothing in the chalet as everything had been thought out carefully. Even dog blankets and doggy treats for those who bring a dog,although we didnt. The weather was beautiful every day,which was a bonus. The bed was so comfortable,and the kitchen area was superb. The milk in the fridge which was waiting for us on arrival,along with the yummy biscuits were really appreciated after a long journey. David and Lisa our hosts as always were more than happy to help out with any request,always with a genuine smile that made such a difference. We want to mention Reggie their lovely dog,who always made us welcome when we sat out on David's private beach on the seats he so kindly made available to us for free use. So in a word it was Utopia. Thank you.Kathy and Clive.

This was such a lovely flat! Gorgeous view, close to town, seafront and West Cliff. I loved the little balcony and garden at the back, it was a sun trap and so peaceful. The flat is super clean and has everything you need, had the best stay!

Lovely stay at Christianne's. The accommodation was clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. Lovely garden and countryside views. Will book again.

The flat is well designed making great use of the space and beautifully decorated and well provided for. We appreciated touches like having a small stock of cooking supplements (oil, salt and some odd items). We will definitely have it high on the list for revisit.
