Guests say
Apple Cottage is a cosy and welcoming retreat, praised for its peaceful location and friendly hosts. Guests enjoyed the beautiful countryside, proximity to local attractions, and the added bonus of a field for dog walking. The cottage's charm, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches like homemade flapjacks contributed to a pleasant stay, despite some comments about the compact bedroom and toilet seat issues.
The cottage generally received positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it comfortable and clean. However, a few mentioned cobwebs and the need for better attention to kitchen utensils, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, easy access to local attractions, and convenience for dog walking. The proximity to a local pub and the ability to explore East Sussex are notable highlights.
Guests found the cottage cosy and the bed comfortable. However, the mezzanine bedroom with low ceiling and restricted space around the bed affected the comfort level for some, leading to a slightly reduced score.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern facilities and a secure property. However, there were repeated mentions of a wobbly toilet seat and suggestions for additional plug sockets, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
The hosts' warm welcome and homemade flapjacks were appreciated, reflecting their thoughtfulness. It should be noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very clean and modern facilities. The price was very affordable. Suitable for a couple and medium dogs. Hosts were very hospitable. The bonus of a enclosed dog field space was appreciated. The only isue was that the in courtyard they were growing grapes that would drop to the floor. Obviously, toxic to dogs so we had to be extra careful going from the car to the house front door. But very nice trip in a good location to Battle, Hastings and a small village with a nice pub.
