Overview
Property code: OC-SX907

Jessie's Place is on top of the hill above Bodiam Castle - a beautiful 14th century castle, one of Britain's most romantic and picturesque which could have come straight out of a fairytale complete with drawbridge and moat. Steam trains of the Kent and East Sussex Railway from Tenterden and Northiam stop at the recently refurbished Bodiam station so you will be steeped in history and nostalgia here. Situated only five miles from Robertsbridge and just seven miles from  Rye the location couldn't be better for great days out, and the village pub - The Castle Inn - is just a short walk down the hill from the cottage annexe for good, home-cooked food if you are feeling too relaxed to cook! Short breaks accepted but can only start on a Friday or a Monday.  Shop: 2.3 miles Pub: 0.3 mile  Coast: 7 miles

Ground Floor:
Private door at the side of the cottage to....
Kitchen with tiled floor and dining table to one end is very well equipped including an eye level electric oven, separate electric hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and plenty of storage space
Sitting Room is dual aspect and has laminate flooring with rug, a very comfortable leather corner suite with co-ordinating coffee table, flat screen TV/DVD with Freeview and French doors to the patio and garden
Bedroom has twin beds which can be put together to make a kingsize, bedside cabinet, chest of drawers and a corner built-in wardrobe with shelving. Views across the garden to the countryside beyond
Bathroom is beautifully tiled and presented, with a shower over the bath, heated towel rail, washbasin and w.c

Garden: Patio with garden furniture and lawned area with wonderful views across the hills.
Parking: Free on-street parking a few yards from the cottage.

Also Provided: Laundry service in main house - small charge applies.
Notes: The owners are happy to accept babies but would point out that there is no room for a cot in the bedroom. Whilst the annexe is all on one level so suitable for those with mobility problems, it should be noted that there are three steps up to the garden path.

We have just spent a wonderful holiday at Jessie's Place, definitely the holiday cottage we have felt most at home in. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped with modern kitchen equipment. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the fairytale Bodiam Castle and a stunning view from the lovely garden, down the valley across vRead moreineyards to the Heritage Steam Railway below. Friendly helpful owners who provided us with a delicious home made cake as a welcome. We plan to return next year Hide

Jessie's Place is a fabulous homely holiday cottage we settled in the moment we walked in the door then we were stunned with the view from the bottom of the wonderful garden looking towards the Steam railway station over the Vineyard we hope to return

Excellent accommodation, but a shame that 2 single beds are available instead of a King size double bed in the current bedroom. Superb cake on worktop upon arrival. Friendly helpful owners. A list of local-ish recommended pubs/restaurants (for meals) would be advantageous.

In general very good. Lack of accessable sockets in bedroom and living room meant having to charge phone and iPad on kitchen worktop, annoying!

We had a very enjoyable week at Jessie's place - helped by wonderful weather which is not under Original Cottages control! However the cottage was very comfortable, clean, warm, well equipped and in a brilliant location for exploring the area, which is full of interest.
