We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful seaside Airbnb! The accommodation was spotlessly clean, thoughtfully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and busy visit for pride. The location by the sea made it even more special - it was a real treat. Communication with the host was excellent from start to finish- friendly, prompt, and helpful. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again! Thank you! X

The accommodation was in a great location for visiting other places. We were visiting relatives in Saltdean and were surprised how close it was. We walked to Saltdean and did a morning run to Brighton Marina ( we didn’t realise how close it was). Plenty of shops, cafes & pubs. Great bus service too. We stayed in the front bedroom and it was a little noisy with traffic, apart from that it was great. We would definitely stay again if we were visiting the area.

Our stay place at Olde Place Cottage was fantastic. We had a wonderful week in Rottingdean and the cottage was just what we needed. It was clean, very comfortable and stylish. The location was outstanding being central in Rottingdean and only a few minutes walk from the beach. You can also walk up into the hills within 15 minutes and only a 4 mile walk along the lowercliff into Brighton. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting to stay near Brighton for a relaxing week away.
