Very nice cottage in picturesque location handy for all of East Sussex and Kent.Clean and comfortable with sufficient equipment for a week or so break. Nice outside seating area overlooking fully fenced gardens good for dogs but shared with adjacent cottage. Easy parking if a little difficult to find ( probably failure to read directions properly). Would visit again and therefore recommend.
