Charming, comfortable and cosy.

We really enjoyed our stay in this delightful cottage which was convenient for all the sights in East Sussex. Great having 2 en-suites - which are hard to find - and flexibility with number of nights made it perfect for mum and me. Will definitely recommend to friends visiting the area.

Lovely place

Beautifully renovated cottage in a peaceful place (down small country lanes), with friendly hosts. 2 bdrm has huge sitting areas downstairs, and great mod kitchen. Wifi weak, but new lines were being installed. Could use new bed pillows, otherwise our stay was perfect!

Lovely Cottage

Feels like a very recent barn conversion, but the ratings show it to be older than it looks. A really great layout for small family reunions, having open spaces and quiet nooks for personal chats. Both bedrooms are ensuite. Big, well-equipped kitchen. Quite remote but good shopping is adequately close.

It was great...do check the carpet just in front of the bathroom door in twin bed bedroom...I think there may be an exposed carpet tack. That's a small issue, overall we had a wonderful stay!

Wonderful English cottage.

The cottage was very nice and offered everything we needed. Katie was super helpful and readily available to address any questions. At first we thought the location was isolated. But it turned out to be close to many interesting attractions and local pubs. Being from America, the roads were very narrow, which required an extra pound of caution. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to future visitors.

A little hidden gem which has to be experienced

A peaceful location with unexpected view of the Downs from outside. Well appointed cottage which exceeded all our expectations. So spacious inside loved the layout of the space downstairs with the garden room in which we spent happy evenings relaxing with a book. Best cottage we have ever stayed in for lighting in all the appropriate areas. Cottage was pristine, lovely bed linen and towels. Katie was most welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. This is definitely one we would return to and recommend to friends.

Tranquil rural hideaway

This is a beautifully presented rural cottage. In a very quiet location, we had a great time exploring the local countryside, coast, and NT gardens. The hosts were warm and friendly, and popped in just to check we had all we needed. This is a very well equipped cottage and was spotless. It is spacious and light , and we didn't use all of the seating areas. It was a little cold to sit outside, but the secluded patio did look inviting. The cottage was very warm and cosy, and the large kitchen made eating-in very easy. Easily one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. Thank you.
