Guests say
Apple Cottage is a cosy and comfortable retreat, praised for its peaceful location and friendly owners. Guests enjoyed the local pub within walking distance and the convenience of nearby attractions. The cottage's dog-friendly policy and surrounding fields are a hit with pet owners, though some restrictions apply. Homemade flapjacks and a warm welcome added to the charm, while the mezzanine bedroom and cleanliness received mixed feedback.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few mentioned the presence of cobwebs and suggested that kitchen utensils could be better maintained, indicating room for improvement in cleanliness.
The cottage's location is highly appreciated for its tranquility and proximity to Battle town, local pubs, and attractions in East Sussex. The easy access to walks and the A21 road was also noted positively.
Guests found the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable. However, the mezzanine bedroom's low ceiling was a concern for some, affecting the overall comfort rating.
The cottage is well-equipped for a couple's getaway, with a good shower and kitchen facilities. However, comments about a wobbly toilet seat and the need for better kitchenware maintenance suggest that some facilities could be improved.
The owners' hospitality, including a warm welcome and homemade flapjacks, was appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, guests should not expect them as part of the experience.

Compact, but well appointed and beautifully cosy, this is a lovely little cottage for a couple. We had a warm welcome from the owner, Andrew, who was very helpful. It was a fantastically, restful and peaceful stay in a beautiful part of the country.

We had a lovely stay at the Apple cottage. The cottage is cute and comfortable, the lower ceiling of the sleeping area was completely fine in our opinion. The toilet seat should definitely be replaced though. The owners were nice and gave us a very warm welcome. The cottage is a perfect location for exploring the many nice places in the area.The fields offered a lovely view and were perfect to walk and play with the dog in. But we were a bit disappointed that we did not know beforehand we couldn't leave the dog alone in the cottage. While this is understandable, it would have been nice to know about this rule when planning the trip and the activities. But the owners were willing to discuss the possibilities for leaving for an hour.
