Welcome to Starlings We are delighted you have chosen Starlings for your stay in Saltdean. We hope you have a wonderful break and hope that this pack and our website gives you all the information you need. If you require any further information or help, please contact us: Jane and Alan Paterson 07860 661090 or 07711 456558 [email protected] This pack is also available on Starlings’s website here. The wifi network is Starlings and the password is in the printed version of this document The nearest good pub is The Smugglers Inn (walk across the Tye or it is a minute or two in the car.) To walk: Turn right out of the house and turn right again to walk down Bevendean Avenue until you reach Ashurst Avenue. When you get onto the Tye, follow the path down towards the road. The Smugglers Inn is on the other side, facing the sea over the cliffs. If you go by car (back onto the Coast Road going away from Brighton, you will find it just a few hundred yards on the right), parking is free but you need to enter your car registration at the tablets at the bar on arrival. Covid-19 In accordance with government guidelines, we have carried out a risk-assessment with regard to Covid-19 and have adopted measures to reduce the risk of transmission at Starlings. A copy of that risk-assessment can be found here. This is under regular review and we plan to maintain these precautions following the lifting of restrictions in July. You’ll find hand sanitizer just inside the front, back and side doors. Our cleaners provide a thorough cleaning and disinfecting service based on that assessment and in particular: All cutlery, mugs, kitchen utensils and day-to-day glassware is washed in the dishwasher between each booking. The table setting has been washed in the dishwasher on the morning of your arrival. Other crockery and glassware is rotated with another clean set which has been isolated for at least 72 hours and usually seven days. Kitchen equipment and containers have been cleaned and disinfected. We replace the duvets, pillows and throws (and dog blankets) with a second set which has been in isolation for at least 72 hours and usually seven days at the end of each booking. Cushions have been misted with an eco-friendly, odourless virucidal spray. All high-touch areas and floors have been cleaned and disinfected. In line with the guidance, we ask for your help in reducing the risk of transmission by doing the following: Keep the property ventilated, weather permitting, during your stay. There are door wedges in the cupboard between the washing machine and drier, if you need them. Please strip your beds on the morning of your departure and place into the bags provided on the shelves of the left-hand wardrobe in the master bedroom. (Please leave the mattress protectors on the beds and pillow protectors on the pillows as these are removed and laundered separately.) Please put all the towels, bath-mats etc. you have used during your stay into a separate bag(s). Please ensure all landfill rubbish is bagged, tied and placed in the landfill bin next to the garage. Please ensure all recycling is cleaned and placed in the recycling bin next to the garage. Please check-out by 10:00 am to give us time to prepare Starlings for our next guests. If you arrive early or while it is still being prepared please do not enter the property unless it is empty and you have been advised by us that it is fully prepared for you. There is an NHS Covid-19 Track and Trace QR poster in the front porch which you and members of your party may use. If you do not have the app, an alternative method of recording this information is to text us when you arrive at the property, and again when you leave. Should you develop symptoms of the coronavirus (COVID-19) virus while you are at Starlings, please follow the advice given in the NHS poster opposite. The Government guidance on this can be found here. We are keeping our risk-assessment and our response under constant review and welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have.

Local Information Please note: Some attractions and locations may not be open or may be operating restricted opening times and conditions. Saltdean is situated by the sea in a 'Dean' (Old English for 'dry valley'), with the surrounding hills of the South Downs National Park forming a large central dip and valley where the oval shaped Saltdean Park and Lido are located, looking out over the adjacent sea. Tree lined roads and avenues radiate out in wide oval curves from the park in order to follow the contours of the local topography. Saltdean is ideally placed for the sea, Brighton (5 miles), Brighton Marina (3.5 miles) the South Downs (on the doorstep), Cuckmere Haven (10 miles), Lewes (10 miles) and Eastbourne (17 miles). The local Lido has been open since April, but there are restrictions on the changing room and children’s pool.
