This property would suit a family or small group of friends looking for a countryside holiday and with the High Weald (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) on the doorstep visitors have myriad options for days out while amenities are just a short drive away. There are small local shops and pubs within a 2.5 mile radius; for a greater variety of shopping options you could take a 7-mile drive to Rye where you will find more shops, pubs, contemporary restaurants and other attractions relating to the vibrant history of the medieval cobbled citadel. If you travel a little further on from Rye (11 miles from the property) you can take a walk on the iconic 3-mile stretch of beach at Camber Sands. For fascinating displays of local history spanning 125 million years, including a dinosaur footprint and a Saxon battle-axe related to the Battle of Hastings, take a look at the Battle Museum (10 miles).

The property is all on the ground floor and the living spaces are open plan. The first thing you notice as you enter the sitting area is the vaulted ceiling with its exposed beams and skylights looking down on comfortable seating in front of the wood burner, just perfect for those cold evenings after an invigorating walk in the countryside. The kitchen and dining area has stylish, yet practical decor, befitting of its farm setting, and has plenty of space for those cooking to move around while cooking up a hearty feast to enjoy with everyone around the table. The bedrooms are both light and airy and have their own en-suite shower rooms.

On the patio you will find plenty of garden furniture and a fire pit to cook on or keep you warm on a cooler evening. Sunbathe out on the sloping lawns or enjoy meeting other guests at the shared picnic area round by the barns.

The location was idyllic. The cottage was well equipped and very clean. A great base for exploring the area. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for your review, it really is great base! In the countryside but still easy access to so many places to see and things to do.

A cozy well equipped barn conversion. The dog paddock was perfect for our lucher to zoom around , one of the features that attracted us. However there is no fenced garden to the property so she couldn't be let out for a wee without being on the lead which was a bit inconvenient.
