"Quiet, well equipped and spacious"
We stayed at the Playwright whilst having internal building works carried out. The flat is well equipped and spacious and within a 5 min walk to the town centre and minutes from seafront. What is nice is that there are only 6 flats in the block, one per floor so no disturbance from others and even though the lift backs onto the bedroom it is very quiet and again helped by only being a small number of flats. Carl and Sarah were quick to respond when the washing machine leaked and resulted in a new one being delivered a few days later. They kindly arranged for our washing to be laundered in the meantime. Carl and Sarah are always quick to respond to emails or phone calls when applicable.
Would have no hesitation in using or recommending Carl and Sarah in the future should the need arise.
Thank you.
Home from home.
We moved into the Playwright whilst we were having internal building works carried out.
The property was central to the town centre and was well equipped for what we needed. It was spacious and had the benefit of an en-suite as well as bathroom with bath and shower over.
There is only one flat per floor which is great as there is limited noise from the other residents. It has a lift in order to access the flats.
As it worked well for us, we extended our stay from 2 to 3 weeks. Exclusively Eastbourne were good with communication and responding to us when the needed arose.
Genial apartamento para pasar unos dias en Eastbourne. Cercano a la playa, en una zona tranquila.
Carl y Sarah nos proporcionaron información para visitar Eastbourne y alrededores. Siempre contestan rápido a las preguntas que se les envia y facilitan las cosas!
Genial!!

Great apartment to spend a few days in Eastbourne. Close to the beach, in a quiet area. Carl and Sarah provided us with information to visit Eastbourne and the surrounding area. They always answer questions that are sent to them quickly and make things easier!
Great!!)
Excellent hosts and extremely good responses to our needs and wants in a well equipped apartment. Well worth a stay in the middle of Eastbourne's theatre district and close to the sea. Thanks.
Carl & Sarah’s apartment is a wonderful apartment, it is very stylish, very well equipped and in a fantastic location (one street to beach front and close to supermarkets, shopping centres and eateries). The communications from Carl & Sarah was also very good, any questions answered quickly and very helpful. There is parking available on the street (and we did not have an issue finding a space) although, so close to the amenities that we didn’t need to use our car much. (we also used the train from Eastbourne to Brighton) which was a great day trip. Permits needed for parking but supplied at a very reasonable price by Carl & Sarah (so would recommend). The apartment itself has everything you could need, kitchenware, glasses etc, plenty seating and dining area, and the beds are super comfortable. We would highly recommend staying here, we just loved Eastbourne, you will not regret it x
Absolute perfection.
A fabulous apartment in every respect - even better than I had expected.
Extremely stylish with all mod cons while also offering all home comforts.
It was a real pleasure to have the opportunity to stay there.
Location was ideal too, being just a three-minute walk to the seafront and the wonderful Eastbourne promenade. Some useful local shops and several restaurants are a five-minute walk away.
The local agents Exclusively Eastbourne were very helpful and accommodating - thanks to all for making my stay such a success.
We stayed at Carl and Sarah's flat for 2 weeks.
The place is beautiful and makes you feel at home.
The flat is in a nice place: near the sea, the city centre and good quality cafes.
The flat has everything you need, what was important for us, which happens quite rarely, it was very quiet: no outside noise, you can't hear the neighbors or cars.
Sarah and Carl were very good hosts, we managed to leave behind on accident a couple of expensive stuff and they concerted us about it straight away.
Thank you very much!
We highly recommend this flat to everyone!
Modern apartment near town centre
Four of us (two couples) enjoyed our stay in this 2nd floor apartment for a week during the tennis championship.
It was only a few minutes walk from both the tennis stadium or the beach/esplanade and ten minutes from the town centre with many options for bars/restaurants.
The apartment is very smart with modern decor and all the appliances you might expect. The building also has a lift.
Bright, airy, spacious, apartment, with easy access to seafront, shops, restaurants, gallery.
The location was is great - just behind the seafront, with lots of lovely sea air blowing in, and a healthy change from central London.
Really convenient for spending time at the sea, going for walks, going to the shops, picking up supplies, picking up takeaway, and just looking around.
Having the Towner art gallery nearby is a huge plus for us too.
Amenities inside the flat were very good and allowed us to cater for ourselves with ease too and to have a relaxing time inside the flat.
The lift to the apartment was extremely valuable, particularly for our mum.
The Exclusively Eastbourne team are extremely helpful and kind, and and were able to answer any queries we had. We hope to visit again.
Perfectly placed for a trip to Eastbourne.
A comfortable, warm, spacious, well equipped apartment.
Exclusively Eastbourne staff are also very friendly and helpful.
There is plenty of storage for your clothes and provisions.
The beds are super comfy and the shower in the en suite is excellent.
Really pleased with the location as it is so ideally placed to walk to the beach, the restaurants, station, shops and the Towner art gallery and theatres.
We even walked all the way from the apartment, along the seafront, up to the top of Beachy Head, had a meal and walked back down again. Such fantastic views! Do take a trip (or a few) on the sightseeing bus - hop on & off for 24 hours, great fun!
We have booked a few times with Exclusively Eastbourne and have always been delighted with their holiday rentals
Exceptional apartment.
Stayed for 9 days in this very well appointed apartment, very clean and spacious.
Lift to the front door is extremely handy if you have been out all day sightseeing.
Every appliance you need to have a comfortable stay was there. 2 bathrooms was a bonus.
Close to the beach and 5 min walk to the shops and theatres, ideally situated for the non driver.
A very happy stay.
Thank you Exclusively Eastbourne
Just lovely.
Everything seen to and super comfy.
Highly recommended!
Lovely, comfortable and quiet apartment.
Lovely apartment. Comfortable, quiet and peaceful, thoughtfully decorated and fully equipped for a great holiday stay with a lift to all floors.
As other reviews have said it's in a very good location - a couple of minutes stroll to the sea front and about a five minute walk to the main shopping centre.
We were able to leave the car on the road outside the flat for the duration of our stay (Council parking cards, supplied by Exclusively Eastbourne, at £2 per day) and we noticed lots of other suitable parking places on other nearby streets.
Would definitely return and thoroughly recommend. (This is the second time that we have rented a holiday property via Exclusively Eastbourne and both times the accommodation and service has been excellent)
We were very satisfied.
The house was very clean.
You are very good at your job.
Thank you very much for everything.
Carl and Sarah were always available and extremely helpful.
Overall a great stay in Eastbourne
I would highly recommend these brilliant hosts who made everything very easy. We had one small issue on day one that was dealt with very quickly. The AirB&B was really lovely and exactly like the photo's and description.
Would definitely look for these hosts again if ever in Eastbourne!!
