  6 a.m.

  shotgun-fire in the adjoining fields *every* morning sent us home early, more exhausted than when we arrived. Bizarre, unfinished renovation - certainly not "thorough" as described - unpainted bare plaster walls, no light switches for the kitchen near the living room/front door, the downstairs toilet is now off the kitchen where the hall wall has been removed, ugh. No measuring jug/spoons/kitchen scales. Single glazed windows with no coverings in places at the back, will be very cold in winter! Bathroom toilet doesn't flush properly, dirty windows throughout, unkempt/unmown garden... No welcome info on arrival, spent the 1st evening trying to get onto wifi (the arrival email came the next day). The cottage feels unloved/unwanted - nowhere close to other 4* cottages we've stayed in, sadly. The picture of the sunroom is taken from the Carr Taylor vineyard's outdoors terrace, making it like a fishbowl, completely lacking privacy - needs a hedge planting! Cottage is at the entrance to the vineyard RIGHT NEXT to visitor's area, which is just not made clear on the listing - it is certainly not private/secluded/away from it all!!! The lane is very busy with constant cars, vans, minibuses and full size coaches coming and going all day, sometimes making it difficult to get to the cottage and on/off the drive. Not "idyllic" as described, by our definition. However, the milk/butter and dog bits were appreciated and the log burner was lovely!! Well-placed for access to Hastings, Rye and the south coast, Battle, High Weald etc.

  We hebben een fijn verijf gehad bij Oak meadow.

  Het huis is gezellig en karakteristiek ingericht. Er stond een fantastisch welkomst pakket klaar met wijn, brood, chips en koekjes! Ook een ruime voorraad toiletpapier. Geen kaal huis dus. De houtkachel is heerlijk en er staat een mand met hout klaar. Er is 1 ruim tweepersoons bed. De andere 2 zijn smal. Goed om daar op te letten. Onze twee pubers hebben we maar het grootste bed gegeven om te delen.. De schoonmaak kan net wat beter. We troffen toch nog hondenharen aan van de gast voor ons ( als ik de andere recentie zo lees:)). Maar het is ook een ouder huisje met planken vloeren. Dus lastiger te reinigen. 1 advies aan de eigenaar: de kleine bank zit echt niet meer goed. Verder hielp ze ons heel snel toen we ons per ongeluk buiten sloten en er problemen waren met de watervoorzieningin de regio. Nogmaals dank daarvoor!

  Should state that stairs are steep.

  Bath is difficult to access and impossible for anyone with disability or limited movement. No separate shower to use. Heating very efficient. Kitchen nice, but mugs, plates etc very random. Needs small fry pan. Beds are high, but duvets thick and warm. NO wardrobes at all! Only hangars on wall hooks. Chests of drawers have handles missing and some had odd sheets and bits left in them. Quirky house in a nice setting. Would be delightful when warm enough to use conservatory. Not keen on WC opening straight into kitchen. Overall nice house in good position ( despite potholes on entrance) but some amendments and warnings needed.

  It was an amazing and well furnished cottage, beautiful inside and out.

  We had two dogs with us and they loved it as well, we did have to clean the upstairs toilet again and the dishwashing supplies/kitchen cloth weren’t clean. But overall our stay was amazing, lots of castles and relaxing. The only tips we would have is that it would be nice to have a bit more information for dogs for the area. Or walks you can take them on from the cottage with a map. For dogs this property is very nice but you’re on a winery and there is nothing to separate, you can walk around the winery which is nice for the morning and evening walks but sometimes there are also guests of course.
