The Hayloft was a delightful cottage on a traditional farm in the Sussex countryside. The host was very helpful and quick to respond. THE welcome pack of wine, biscuits, some basic supplies and fresh eggs from the farm chickens was much appreciated. The bed was particularly comfortable. The cottage was in a great location for visiting Hastings, RyeRead more and Battle with excellent village pubs in the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again. Hide
