Plus, you can be confident of having all the essentials close at hand, with a variety of antiques and independent shops, pubs, restaurants and tearooms dotted amongst the picturesque cottages and townhouses.

Set amid 300 acres of beautifully manicured woodlands and gardens, Herstmonceux Castle embodies the romance of Renaissance Europe. This magnificent moated castle was originally built as a palatial family residence for Sir Roger Fiennes, treasurer to King Henry VI. One of the oldest redbrick buildings in the UK, it shares the estate with the Observatory Science Centre, once home to the Royal Greenwich Observatory, where visitors can experience the awe and wonder of the night sky. By choosing to stay at a Herstmonceux holiday cottage, you’ll be close to many other popular attractions, such as Pevensey Levels, Battle Abbey (site of the 1066 Battle of Hastings) and the seaside towns of Bexhill-on-Sea and Hastings.
