Situated on a farm within the High Weald National Landscape with lovely walks from the doorstep, this former shepherd’s cottage has been converted into a romantic bolthole perfect for a relaxing couple's escape.

Beneath the rustic red brick exterior, you’ll find a haven of heritage across the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner.

A feature wood burner and stunning exposed brickwork further embrace authentic country charm. Enjoy far-reaching views from the comfort of the plush sofa or farmhouse-style wooden dining table. The characterful kitchen will capture your imagination, inspiring you to whip up some local delicacies.

We had a wonderful stay. The place is the perfect side for 2 people and 1 dog. There are so many woods, beaches and places of history to explore in a 20min radius by car. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the peace and calm of the countryside was magical.

Simply stunning property, beautifully furnished with all the creature comforts and modern amenities including dishwasher, Sky Tv and WiFi. The cottage is completely private, accessed only via a field off the country lane, perfect for an immersive retreat amongst the countryside with long views across fields. The fenced garden is ideal for dogs. JRead moreust a short distance to Hastings, Battle and Rye. We felt very relaxed after our stay in this very special property. Hide

Really lovely cottage, high standard of finish inside. Only slight negative would be the bedroom where there is a sloping ceiling & staircase can be a little bit of a challenge during night if you need to loo! Having said this we would definitely return, and run the gauntlet with the wonderful sheep in the field :)

Lovely cottage in a restful, secluded location. Really tastefully designed interior that felt both luxurious and homely. We especially loved the outdoor bath, log burner and looking out at the green fields and gulls through the horizontal window in the bedroom. Easy to get out to Hastings and Rye, Tillingham, and the countryside. Hosts were also grRead moreeat, and really responsive when we had a small issue. Hide

We had a fabulous stay in this wonderful property. The views from all windows were gorgeous and you really did feel very secluded. The location was perfect for us, as we were keen to explore Hastings (a 15 minute drive) and Rye (a 20 minute drive). Having a peaceful base to return to after a day out was just what we were after. The outdoor bath waRead mores an amazing experience, especially on cold January days! The property was nice and cosy thanks to the underfloor heating, and there was plenty of hot water. We found the bed to be very comfortable and slept very well throughout our stay. If travelling with a toddler, as we were, I'd recommend grippy socks or slippers for the hard floors and taking a stair gate as the stairs are steep with open balustrades. The owners contacted us to check we had arrived ok and were very responsive when we did have a question, which was appreciated We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for peace and privacy and / or those looking to explore the Hastings, Rye and other local areas.
