Hailsham Vrbo

The check-in was super uncomplicated and Maria provided a very thorough explanation of the property. She was contactable by phone at all times. The location of the property is great, the property itself is a great old house with plenty of space and some nice extras (i.e. Tennis court and Hot Tub, both in good condition). Cleanliness, however, was disappointing at best. Fridge, kitchen drawers, oven etc had obviously not been cleaned for a while. All sinks and bathrooms were quite grim, bed sheets same. There was a lot of clutter in some areas like the conservatory with the seating area squished next to the clutter. The house itself is such a great location that it was quite disappointing to find it in such a state, especially considering how much money was charged for the stay. We spent a few hours cleaning first before we could really enjoy the stay. We did definitely not expect this when booking the stay. If general cleanliness and tidiness was addressed, however, it would be a great place to stay and spend a few relaxed days.

In a lovely setting, lots of open space & near where my sister lives for the wedding anniversary party - 10 mins walk down the road. Property is a bit tired! Very old in parts if you like that. Owner says you can’t use the main doors because they are too old! Had to enter via the conservatory door - so not very secure at all. (I took my laptop out with me every time!) It worked fine for us because we weren’t staying at the property much - at a celebration down the road. I’m not sure I’d choose to stay there under any other circumstances! For the money we paid - it needs an upgrade. Curtains that don’t close properly, Evidence of rain or damp on some bedroom curtains. kitchen equipment - a bit iffy - I had to wash everything before I used it. Dining room still decorated for Christmas - we were there in May. It had a nice living area - spacious & nicely decorated. There’s a hot tub - we didn’t use it. I don’t think this property can’t advertise itself as a five bedroom property. Because it only has four bedrooms!! One of the rooms is divided - has an extra double bed & bunk bed above - but no division between the two rooms. Fine for families - but not a good space for five couples?? Outside needs attention - outside furniture in poor condition. We weren’t using that space much - but when I was there - I was uncertain about whether to sit on any of the outside chairs. There’s a swimming pool/pond - it needs cleaning. Generally my opinion is this property is poorly maintain.

A very pleasent location that matched requirements perfectly. Bedrooms were spacious and well equipe

The property has everything for a very relaxing break. It's close enough for anything most people will want to enjoy. Plus it's location is very secluded and privacy is assured. I would recommend it to anyone.

Unique older style property

Maria was an excellent host . There when we could not get hot tub started . Check in super easy. Good kitchen facilities. Wi fi . The tennis court was the greatest success. We were a family of 12 . 6adults 6children .What a grand house it was. It was a little dated and the Xmas decs tickled us in Aug .but the property was really lovely . Dated and maybe a little run down in places. Not very friendly with two year old as there were a lot of wires exposed in main TV room . There was a pond that we were not aware of beforehand . Quite a lot of clutter in places especially in conservatory where we spent a lot of time . chickens were noisy but we are farmers so not too much of a bother. Had a lovely stay . Hope this review not too critical but wanted to be honest. Thankyou Maria

Fabulous house but some major issues

This is a truly lovely house on fabulous grounds. Maria was a very pleasant and helpful host. We did however have major issues with the oven which was not satisfactory. We were a party of 8 adults and 2 children and not having use of a working oven was disastrous. There was also a wasps nest in the side of the house with access into the property and so one room in particular was unusable (the main living room) and we spent a good deal of time trying to usher wasps outside from bedrooms (2 of us were stung). Whilst these issues were very very disappointing, I would not be discouraged from visiting again (so long as the issues were addressed because until they are, it is not rentable!!)
