Property code: OC-SX907

On a hill above the stunning 14th-century Bodiam Castle, and across the road from the access path to its grounds, is this pretty, single-level holiday cottage, ideal for couples looking for a quiet and serene location to relax. Enjoy the walk through the trees to the spectacular castle, which is just 0.5 miles away, with the only access being across the moat by bridge. Hastings, the town at which William the Conqueror stopped to battle King Harold in 1066, is 14 miles by car, and Senlac Hill, the site where Harold was defeated, is just 10 miles away. To take in more of this beautiful landscape, enjoy a steam train ride along the Kent and East Sussex line, with Bodiam Station just 0.5 miles away.

Arriving back at the cottage, three steps lead up the garden path and you’ll access through a side door into the kitchen/dining room, home to everything you need to create a delicious meal for two. After you’ve eaten and discussed the day, retire to the cosy sitting room and curl up on the cushy seating watching a TV show or a DVD. When it’s time to recharge the batteries, the bedroom contains twin beds and gorgeous views of the Sussex countryside from beyond the garden. The ground-floor bathroom completes this beautiful property.

The outside can be accessed via the French windows in the sitting room, where you can enjoy breakfast on the patio, whilst taking in breath taking views of the hillside.

Just returned from our second visit to Jessie's Place. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. Joan and Stuart are excellent hosts, friendly and welcoming and always willing to do everything to make their guests feel at home. The location is just stunning, a short walk to the fairytale Bodiam Castle and just a few minutesRead more more to the Kent and East Sussex heritage railway which you can also look down on from the lovely garden. There is so much else to do in the area, National Trust properties, Gardens, the Coast and the lovely old towns, Rye being my favourite. We hope to return next year. Hide

Delightful small towns and pretty villages are not far away, There are many excellent National Trust properties nearby and beautiful Bodiam Castle is within walking distance. Another delight is the Kent and East Sussex Railway - Bodiam Station is not far away and can be seen froRead morem the garden. The whistles from the steam trains take you back to another era! We had a wonderful relaxing time enjoying the splendid local countryside. This is an ideal property to be busy if you want to but if you want to be lazy and enjoy lovely views and appreciate the countryside look no further. Hide

So pleased I found this little gem. Perfect for a stay on my own while visiting family in the area. Very quiet and comfortable and I felt very safe and secure. Joan welcomed me on arrival and left milk and delicious homemade cake, much appreciated! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely little place and would happily return.

We found the cottage very cosy, and not far from many National Trust properties. The owners are very helpful, and easy to contact. Should you want to use the bus, it stops at the front gate bothways,taking you to Hastings, or Hawkhurst. This service is roughly every two hours. ,
