Nestled in the heart of Eastbourne, Leaf Cottage is a charming 19th-century retreat that captures the essence of Sussex’s coastal charm year-round. Originally built for railway workers, this historic home has been thoughtfully updated, offering a blend of period character and modern comforts. Whether you’re seeking a summer escape by the beach, a vibrant autumn getaway, or a quiet winter retreat, Leaf Cottage provides the perfect base for discovering Eastbourne’s treasures in every season.
Step into the inviting lounge, where classic leather armchairs and a refined sofa create a comfortable setting for unwinding after a day exploring. The carefully chosen furniture complements the room’s historic charm, providing a welcoming space to relax with a favourite book, catch up on a film, or simply enjoy a quiet evening. The lounge flows into a bright, fully equipped kitchen that’s perfect for gatherings at any time of year. With a spacious dining table seating up to six, and a range of essentials including a coffee machine, washing machine, oven, hob, fridge freezer, and microwave, the kitchen invites you to enjoy home-cooked meals or simply linger over morning coffee. During the warmer months, the private courtyard at the back of the cottage serves as a tranquil spot for alfresco breakfasts, sunny afternoon teas, or evening drinks. In the cooler months, it remains a peaceful escape to enjoy crisp air with a warm drink. The upstairs features two beautifully designed bedrooms, each offering a restful ambiance for any season. The main bedroom is a serene space with a king-size bed dressed in soft linens, perfect for unwinding. The second bedroom features two double bunk beds, making it a versatile option for families, friends, or additional guests. The spacious bathroom includes a bath with an overhead shower, ideal for cooling off after a summer day on the beach or warming up after a winter walk along the coast.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great place very new as showing on pictures. Good for young family.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic, peaceful, cosy and comfortable. Will definitely be back!
Positive: It has a very lovely energy. It was exceptionally equipped with amazing quality of kitchen utensils, coffee machine, toaster, microwave etc. The TV was a very high standard. The king size bed in the master bedroom was so comfortable. Also, the house was spotlessly clean. We did contact the management company, Huluki, once, only to get confirmation of arrival details and they were so helpful and friendly. I was very grateful to see that the Station was only a 5 minute walk away and the pier only 15 minutes. A good location.
Negative: There was nothing I didn’t like. It was such a lovely place.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing place! We really loved how homely it was. We felt right at home.
Really lovely host as well, always replies to messages. Overall a really good stay.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great stay at this rental house. The house is very clean and very well provided for. Everything we needed was there and in good condition For example, the quantity and quality of the towels, including face cloths which is always such a luxury addition I think! The quality of the knives is another example. Michelle was helpful and responsive when I had questions. The property guide covers everything and more. The street itself isn't picturesque but the neighbours were very friendly and the location is brilliant for beachfront, train station, or Old Town. I definitely recommend this property.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
