Wealden holiday house: Normans Bay

The location of 'Driftwood' is quiet and infinitely relaxing with no busy roads or shops. Courtesy of the very friendly and obliging owners Elaine and Mac, they have all sorts of outdoor equipment at your disposal. Including good strong table and chairs at the end of the garden meeting the edge of the beach. Alternatively, sit outside the house on the patio, or go surfing, not the net but the watery kind.

There is off-road parking outside the property. However, if you are without a car it would be easy to get around as the regular train runs just literally minutes walk from the house. The house is well equipped, fresh and clean with plenty of space. The heating is controlled by you day and night, excellent for all year round breaks. Family bathroom upstairs has an over bath shower, toilet and sink. The downstairs has a powerful shower another toilet and sink.

The view from the living room is idyllic if you want uninterrupted views of the glistening sea, and the occasional boat on its travels. Distant lights from Hastings and Eastbourne glow on the edges of the horizon framing the stretch of glittering waves and a star-studded sky.

Shhhh keep this gem to yourself!
