  We had an absolutely wonderful six-night stay at the Exclusively Holiday Homes apartment at 34 Madeira Way in Sovereign Harbour, Eastbourne, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the location felt perfect. The apartment is right on the waterfront in the vibrant Sovereign Harbour marina area, with stunning views over the water that we enjoyed every single day. Whether we were having morning coffee on the balcony or unwinding in the evening, the peaceful harbour setting and the gentle activity of boats made it incredibly relaxing. It's just a short stroll to the excellent selection of restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops around the marina, so we never had to go far for a great meal or a casual drink. The apartment itself was modern, spacious, and beautifully presented. It felt like a real home away from home — bright and airy, with comfortable furnishings and a thoughtful layout that made our stay effortless. Everything was spotlessly clean on arrival, and the kitchen was well-equipped for preparing meals, which we did a few times to enjoy the views while dining in. The bedrooms were cosy and quiet, ensuring a great night’s sleep after long days exploring. We particularly appreciated the little touches that made the difference: fast free WiFi, plenty of towels and linen, and convenient allocated parking (a real bonus in a popular spot like this). Sovereign Harbour itself is a fantastic base — we loved walking along the seafront, visiting the nearby beaches, and taking easy day trips into Eastbourne town centre and beyond. The whole area has a lovely relaxed vibe that suited our break perfectly. The team at Exclusively Holiday Homes were responsive and helpful throughout, from booking to check-out, which added to the stress-free experience. We left feeling thoroughly refreshed and already talking about when we can return.

  The perfect, comfortable apartment for a Sovereign Harbour break.

  Lock and Quay is a very comfortable apartment, well equipped and in an ideal location very close to the restaurants and bars of Sovereign Harbour. We enjoyed watching the different boats coming and going.

  The need to travel into Eastbourne to collect the keys was inconvenient.
