Ideally situated in a quiet rural setting, with easy access to several local farm shops and good pubs making this a great place for exploring 1066 country. A haven for keen gardeners with Sarah Raven’s Perch Hill, King Johns Nursery, Pashley Manor Gardens and Great Dixter House & Gardens all within a short drive of the cottage. Keen walkers can take advantage of numerous footpaths, and National Trust properties in the local area, and those wishing to venture slightly further afield a trip to the medieval town of Rye, browsing the local antiques shops makes for a great day out. This central location is perfect for visiting nearby coastal towns or taking the train up to London for the day to enjoy a West End show.

The bespoke kitchen is well-equipped for preparing romantic meals which can then be enjoyed at the dining table and chairs, with a gas oven and hob, small fridge/freezer, washing machine, coffee machine and microwave. The cosy lounge is the perfect place to curl up on the sofa in front of the coal effect electric fire and watch a film on the Smart TV/DVD or enjoy a good book in the rocking chair after a long day exploring the local area. Turned steep stairs from the dining area lead up to the first floor where there is a pretty bedroom with king-size wrought iron bed and large wardrobe. On the other side of the landing is a sumptuous bathroom offering a deep slipper bath, separate shower and WC.

Lovely clean, comfortable cottage in an ideal location. Excellent for visiting many National trust properties and attractions nearby. Nice owners to welcome us. Milk and biscuits provided in the cottage was very much appreciated. A lovely week away despite the mixed weather.

We really enjoyed our stay and found many places of interest to visit. An added bonus was having the use of the idyllic garden which came into its own at the end of a busy day for relaxing and listening to the birds with a glass of wine. Perfect.

The cottage is very comfortable and Mrs Rogers is a charming hostess. Central location ideal for discovering the heritage of Sussex and Kent. Many National Trust properties nearby. Lovely, large garden for reading your current novel after a day's sightseeing. The garden is bordered by a minor road with little traffic.
