Dog Friendly Cottages In Hastings

What our customers say about their holidays

• Alex - Verified booking

  For most of the past 15 years our holidays have been in the UK and therefore we've experienced our fair share of self-catering properties.

  This has to rank amongst one of the best we've had the luxury of renting. Spacious yet cosy, well equipped and comfortable; decorated in a nice "country" fashion and with a lovely quiet enclosed garden for the dog - and to sit out in. During our week we were visited by a rabbit, a heron, a squirrel and even a fox (not all at the same time!) and it was a lovely base to return home to after our days out - or even to just sit around in and do nothing! The wi-fi was good enough for our boys (who are teenagers or almost) to be able to stream their favourite games and shows when they needed to. The location is beautifully quiet yet close enough to Hastings and the sea to not feel like you're in the middle of nowhere (though the small lanes and the speed at which some drivers use them was a bit of a challenge at times!) And the Three Oaks pub is well worth a visit - though a good idea to book at weekends and busy times. The only thing which would have made it even more perfect was if there had been some instructions on the various appliances - in particular the heating (which we did need on one evening).

  We had a lovely stay, a very comfortable place with a very well equipped kitchen.

  Zoe was on hand for support. We stayed for the Christmas holiday and the house was decorated lovely, a great tree and lots of cute little Christmas touches around the place. On arrival Zoe had left some essentials such as milk, eggs and mince pies, again a lovely touch. On arrival the cottage was lovely and warm and continued to stay warm though our stay. Good showers , lots of hot water. We didn’t really venture our much, it rained a lot but lovely to be so close to Rye and Hasting places we know well -we live in Brighton- so not far away! A couple of things that didn’t go so well for us, we couldn’t get any signal on TV but we had a amazon Fire stick and internet worked ok on all our d3vices. Also the single bed was very soft and bouncy so we had to put my elderly mum in one of the doubles as she tumbled out in the night, thankfully no major injuries! Would definitely recommend Hop House and would return for another stay.

  Myself and two sisters and my little dog spent 7 lovely days in this beautiful house tucked away in a veery quiet little hamlet in icklesham.

  The house was perfect for us everything we needed was there . The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable,lovely kitchen diner and lounge which is actually bigger than you think from the photos so quirky. Oh the garden well it is as beautiful as the house the views from every window in the house and in the garden are lovely we loved watching the sheep and horses . We were lucky enough to meet Zoe and her Dad (the owners) and they were lovely and well done to her Dad who told us he looks after that garden which is very secure if you have dogs they must both work hard to keep it so nice. Also very central for Hastings,Battle, Rye,Eastbourne ,we also went to Tenderton.we are looking at dates to return to three oaks next year .Thankyou also for the welcome gifts you left us a lovely touch .From the three sisters and Ollie (the dog)

  Well, being as it was our 6th year of staying at Hop House, it is always lovely coming back.

  The house and garden are both beautiful as always. Was nice to see the games and books back again (as took away after covid times understandably). The rooms are all airy. The most important part is the beds are comfortable and the showers are amazing. Stargazing is a must in this garden with the dark sky not spoilt by city lights, obviously a bonus being in the country etc We loved the welcome pack too. Perfect for when you have had a long drive and you can have tea and biscuits straight away. Thank you for the wine too. We were very lucky with the hot weather but equally so, we have enjoyed our stay when it rained too. Our dog loves being at Hop house too. We did miss seeing the birds from the old pear tree from a few years ago but you can't have it all eh.lol Thanks again Zoe and Roger.

  Hop House is a lovely place to have a holiday, and as a family we certainly enjoyed our stay there.

  I will miss looking out of our bedroom window onto the fields with horses and sheep. It is a quirky house which only adds to its charm. Zoe and Roger are absolutely delightful, very keen to make your stay an enjoyable one. The two main sitting out areas next to the house were sadly very dirty and badly in need of a really good clean. This did for me partially spoil the pleasure of sitting out having a coffee or a glass of wine. I did mention this to Zoe who apologised. I hope they are clean for the next family. As an upgrade it would be lovely to have a larger and newer television and a king-sized bed in the main bedroom. The other double bedroom would benefit from being able to convert into two separate beds. Saying all of that, l do recommend Hope House.
