Apple Cottage is a charming, cosy retreat ideal for couples and dog owners, set in peaceful countryside near Battle. Guests consistently praise the warm hospitality of the owners, the beautiful rural setting, and the convenience of local walks and a nearby pub. The cottage is well-equipped and comfortable, with delightful touches such as views of farm animals. While the mezzanine bedroom and some maintenance points (like the toilet seat) are noted, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, with only occasional mentions of cobwebs or minor cleaning oversights.
The location is frequently praised for its tranquillity, countryside views, proximity to Battle, and easy access to local attractions and walks.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, especially the bed. Some mention the low ceiling in the mezzanine bedroom as a challenge, but this does not detract significantly from overall comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, a good shower, and secure parking. Minor issues include the need for more plug sockets in the bedroom and occasional maintenance points like a wobbly toilet seat.
Guests often mention thoughtful touches such as homemade cake, fresh eggs, and milk on arrival. Please note, these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely place. Equipped with all you need. Nice to have fresh eggs from the hens and milk and cake all on arrival. Not far to visit Rye, Hastings and Battle. Good local pub for eating and great garden centre up the road.
