Family Vacation Haven!
The Lambs Knees is the best holiday home you could ask for when traveling with children. The house has everything you need (and more!) and Laura was incredibly accommodating to all our needs, including an impromptu check-out extension as our 1 year old was taking an exceptionally long nap - a testament to how comfortable her room and cot was! Our visit to the UK has brought us to other hotels, all of which pale in comparison to The Lambs Knees. Thank you so much for the generosity and flexibility, Laura - we (Pippa especially) appreciate everything! Xx The Andrews Family

Seafood Break
Lovely period house, very clean, lots of room and perfectly placed gor walking to the town ( 2 mins) and beach (4-5) mins. Had the added benefit of an off street parking space right next to the house. Laura our host was extremely helpful and responsive before, during and after the booking. She had carefully laid out a wealth of information about where to go, what to see, where to eat - better than any host of any accommodation we have stayed at previously. I would highly recommend this accommodation!

Stunning Victorian home you'll want to come back to again and again!
Laura and Ian are absolutely wonderful and very dilligent hosts and could not do enough to truly welcome us making sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Excellent communication too! There are so many helpful baby/child items in the house too it really does take the stress out of having to bring them yourself. Plus the playroom is the loveliest we've experienced - neatly stocked full of toys and books for every age. :) It allowed us to have child visitors who could play together in a safe and happy environment. It is all child gated. The home itself is simply beautiful with lots of fabulous Victorian features while still being chic and modern, spacious and very warm and cosy. No Victorian drafts here! This was our first family trip to Seaford and, despite the rain, we shall never forget what a wonderful time we had there and will certainly be coming back again one day. Ideal location too so you can potter about in the town or head to the promenade...just a few minutes walk away. Thank you Laura and Ian for making our New Year so very welcoming and special (and keeping that lovely Christmas tree up!) The welcome pack full of delicious treats was very welcome too. :)

Lovely house in a perfect location
We spent a week here with 5 adults and one child in April. The house was as impressive as in the photos. Although it is right off the High Street there was no noise and the street is one-way, so not much traffic. You can walk to everything. The train is a short walk which gets you into Brighton in minutes. The beach is also just a few minutes away with great sunsets and the Seven Sisters as a backdrop. The house is well appointed and spotless. We felt immediately at home. The owner is great, she provided lots of information and went out of her way to be helpful. We could not recommend this place more highly.

Fantastic accommodation!
We booked our holiday based on finding this property to stay in and we were not disappointed! The house was lovely, clean and very well equipped. We had a three year old and one year old with us and their rooms/beds had been set up so thoughtfully and they absolutely loved the playroom! Communication from the owner Laura was great from the moment we booked and it was so helpful to receive full information about the house and local area in advance of our visit so that we could make plans. The house is in a great location to access Seaford and the beach; plus lots to do locally - had some great days out with the kids. Thank you Laura!

Town house - best of both worlds
This is a spacious, comfortable, and well appointed Edwardian/Victorian semi-detached with high ceilings and steep staircases. Lots of extras are provided for arrival and the owners pay attention to needs quickly. The location near the little town and the beach a few minutes walk away gives the best of both worlds - shopping door to door done in 10 minutes, beach in about 8. Cliff walk is spectacular too, with drives nearby to Cuckmere meandering river for kayaking etc, and other beaches.

It was amazing!!
I have an 16 month old and it was amazing, as I barely needed to bring anything for him. The house has everything you can possibly need!! Plus the loft play room is an unexpected extra, for children of all ages!! It kept my son entertained!
