From the owner

Lamb's Knees is a luxury Victorian seaside holiday home, built in 1863 and set within flint walled gardens with off-street parking. It is fabulously situated in the historic heart of Seaford only 4 minutes walk to the beach, 1 minute to local shops and restaurants and 10 minutes walk to the start of the South Downs National Park which encompasses the iconic Seven Sisters White Cliffs & Cuckmere Valley.

The house is quirky, characterful and wonderfully spacious offering 3 Bedrooms, Playroom, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen & Snug. The 'Snug' is a fabulous room, with a wood burning stove, which opens into the kitchen ideal for chatting & relaxing with family & friends whilst keeping an eye on cooking dinner. With so much space available everyone can find their own little spot, perfect for families travelling with grandparents or couples & friends holidaying together.

Children absolutely love the 3rd floor dedicated Playroom filled with a treasure trove of toys & books and accessed via a 'secret' staircase. We are exceptionally well kitted out for Babies & Toddlers with all the essentials: wooden cots, bouncer chairs, playpens, monitors, highchair, stair gates, sterilizer, plastic plates & cutlery, potty, toddler toilet seat. If you fancy a romantic night out we can arrange a fabulous babysitter who is fully qualified & certified, to look after your little ones. (advance booking required).

Style

Neutral hues, with splashes of colour create a sense of calm and space. Quirky, yet homely, 18th & 19th century furniture in solid elm, oak & copper accentuate the history & curiosity of the house.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such an amazing review for Lamb's Knees. We're delighted that you enjoyed your stay and were able to make use of all the baby and toddler equipment supplied. We try to make Lamb's Knees safe (with all the equipment) and exciting (the 3rd floor playroom) for children whilst relaxing and luxurious for adults. We are so lucky that there are many lovely restaurants and cafes within 5 minutes walk of the house so our guests can enjoy a holiday breakfast or locally sourced dinner or a sneaky cake and coffee :-). There are also so many fabulous attractions in the local area from dramatic coastal walks to an award winning zoo, so something fro everyone. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Lamb's Knees on your next seaside escape.

Thank you so mauch for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for Lamb's Knees. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you had lots of fun exploring the surrounding area. We are very lucky to have the dramatic Seven Sisters coastal walk right on our doorstep. In recent months there have been several movies filmed there capturing the beautiful panoramic views. Lewes is a short drive away, we love having a nose around its many antique shops. Eastbourne usually has stunning floral displays along the extensive seafront which makes it feel very tropical and best topped off with a cream tea on the Victorian Pier! We would love to welcome you back to Lamb's Knees on your next coastal exploration.
