Large detached house with a big garden in a rural market town, close by woods and 6 miles from Eastbourne and the beach with good nightlife and shops.
Surrounded by vast countryside the views are spectacular, over looking countless fields, hills, woods and lakes.
I am single and have twins Dan, a videographer and musician living in Dubai and Gabriella, a graphic designer living in Melbourne, Australia. I have 2 lovely ladies living at Oakhurst for over 3 years and I’m in the process of having a summer house built in the garden.
Additional Info
The whole family speaks English and our mother speaks German fluently.
There is plenty of space in the drive for parking. There is a small shop at the end of the road for all essential supplies. The town is within a short walking distance.

My stay with Jacqueline was truly exceptional and far exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness that made me feel instantly at home. Jacqueline’s attention to detail in every aspect of her home is evident, creating a comfortable and cozy environment where I could relax and unwind.
The accommodations were impeccably clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated, providing a perfect balance of privacy and comfort. Each morning, Jacqueline went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed, often offering thoughtful recommendations for places to visit and local experiences that truly enriched my stay. Her knowledge of the area and her willingness to share it made my visit even more special.
But what really stood out was Jacqueline’s genuine hospitality—she made me feel like more than just a guest, but part of the family. Her friendly and approachable nature created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made my stay not only comfortable but memorable. I felt completely at ease throughout my time there, and every interaction was marked by her kindness and generosity.
I cannot recommend staying with Jacqueline enough. If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, hospitality, and a truly personalized experience, look no further. My stay was absolutely wonderful, and I will certainly be returning in the future!

Jacquline, helpful kind person. Her home was a credit to her. Best homestay I have been in. The room, ensuite were very clean and tv worked. Thank you Jacquline for a memorable stay.

I booked in a one night stay for business in Eastbourne. Jacqueline was a welcoming & informative host. The house, kitchen, bathroom and my double room was very clean & tidy. A lovely bed although sleep took a while due to the traffic hum on the nearby busy A22

WOW, what a find this place is, it was immaculately clean, modern, bright and very comfortable, although Jacqueline was not there herself, she made arrangements for us to be welcomed and greeted into the property and everything was shown and explained to us.
The property is situated at the end of a closed road, very quiet and a lovely location for us to be based at, we felt at home from the moment we arrived.
The property is a short walk into the town centre and an easy drive into Eastbourne, we will definitely be coming back to say again, what a positive start for us as this was the first time we have used "Homestay".
We highly recommend staying here

Jacqueline is the best host family I have even seen. She is very welcoming, the house is very clean and the room downstairs was excellent. The area is very quite and nice, and the bus stop to different location is very close.
I would strongly recommend this host.
Thanks Jacqueline for your help and warm welcoming.July 2017
Jacqueline was a fabulous friendly host who made us feel very welcome in her equally fabulous house, our room was well equipped with Sky TV, lots of room an ensuite bathroom what more could you ask for. Also I would like to send to Jacqueline a big thank you for giving me and my wife a lift to the party venue, which was our reason for staying. I highly recommend staying at Jaquelines.

I loved the stay. The house is beautiful, warm and friendly. I could have cooked for myself if I had wanted to. I'm booked to stay another 5 days in July and looking forward to it.
How do I book?
Contact the host about your stay - tell them a little about yourself, why you are staying and ask any questions you have about their homestay. You will be able to book immediately after sending your message.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
