Idyllic short term lets Sussex
This first floor apartment offers a peaceful atmosphere and can provide a great base for those looking to knuckle down with a bit of work. The property has lift access as well as a staircase, handy for those that need accessible accommodation.
Sovereign Harbour is located on the outskirts of Eastbourne with both Eastbourne and Bexhill town centre being a short 10 minute drive away.
The private terrace is a great place to unwind with marina life passing by right in front of you. You will be able to watch as yachts, sail & speed boats all cruise by. The terrace also traps sunlight for most of the day, a rare find in the Harbour.
The apartment is comfortable with a practical and comfortable style. The master bedroom boasts a king size bed and an ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is a twin room with two full size single beds suitable for both adults and children. There is a further family bathroom with a bath and handheld shower attachment.

For guests with limited mobility, a lift provides easy accessibility from the ground floor parking space. There is a step into the building either from the carpark or main entrance but once inside, everything is flat apart from several doorways which have small step overs. Inside the apartment, the wooden floors will aid wheelchair use although you would need to walk through the actual doorways as they are not adapted for wheelchair use and therefore may not be wide enough to fit a wheelchair. The ensuite shower cubicle has just a small step over.
Bed linen and towels are included as with all our short term rentals (but please bring your own beach / swimming towels). There is free WiFi and there is a designated parking space in the gated car park.

AVERAGE RATING OF: 4.5 BASED ON 8 REVIEWS
Great location. After two weeks at the far end of North Harbour overlooking the sea, the Lock offered a great contrast. It's fascinating to watch huge masts appear in the lock and see the yachts leaving and entering, among other vessels. We stayed at the apartment wth our son, his wife and our 2-year-old grandson. We took the smaller, twin-bedded room which had good quality, comfortable mattresses (a must if you have back problems but the room is probably more suited to younger children as it is small with no wardrobe). The large terrace with it's picnic table and astro turf for the little one to play on was enjoyed by us all. He also loved all the toys provided! The bathrooms have been renovated to a high standard (although it is only practical to shower in the en-suite). The lock is only steps away and great fun to observe plus all the cafes and restaurants just a short walk. North and South Harbour both offer plenty of traffic-free walks.
This beautiful apartment located in the South Sovereign Marina is a real delight . Every care has been taken here to make this a perfect location for a relaxing holiday with the option of a 10 minute walk to bars and a host of restaurants . If your looking for a view of the marina this place can not be beaten . We have had a wonderful time and would like to make a special mention for all the staff at Exclusively Eastbourne ( the letting agent ) who could not have been more helpful . Without doubt we shall be back again in the near future .
Great location and a comfortable stay
A lovely apartment overlooking the lock in the Sovereign Harbour marina. Warm and cosy for a cold and blustery week in November. Would definitely return.
Fabulous location.
This apartment has one of the best locations in Sovereign Harbour. The terrace overlooks the locks so you can watch the sailboats pass through. You can walk to the beach in five minutes; restaurants are less than ten minutes away and a few more minutes to the shops. There is a frequent bus service to Eastbourne if you don't want to mess with parking and Hastings is only one hour away by bus. There is also a lovely paved trail along the beach to Eastbourne.
"Peaceful week at the lock"
Another nice week at this lovely apartment on the lock at Sovereign Harbour . As before apartment has everything you need and is kept to a high standard .
All in all thanks again will be back i am sure ..
Perfect location and great apartment.
The Lock could not have been better and we had a fantastic holiday. The apartment owners have gone out of their way to make this apartment great for any age group. It is in a fantastic location overlooking the lock where boats come in and out of the marina. The apartment has an added bonus of a really good balcony from which you can see so much of the marina. It was nice to be on the first floor above the car park which meant that we didn't have to tiptoe about, although saying this the apartment block was very quiet and we seldom heard our neighbours. We are looking forward to our next visit.
Interesting and enjoyable
Great spot on the marina - there are always boats of all sorts going in and out (and you can track most online if you look) and we liked watching the crews within the marina, as well as people watching on the walkways.
The picnic bench is really great.
The rooms are a good size, and there are plenty of toys and games in boxes around the place to keep everyone amused.
The shops are a short walk, as is the beach and plenty of routes through interesting estates.
The design and architecture of the whole development is high quality, and it is all quite posh!
The only improvement would have been an awning for when it rains but I can see some things are not permitted to keep the look of the whole area.
Nice outlook of the boats
Good location near beach and shops.
Your own underground parking space is a plus.
Apartment is very clean and comfortable with everything you need.
