Reviewers frequently mention the exceptional cleanliness of the property, highlighting its bright and well-maintained state.
The property is appreciated for its peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions, though one guest noted the challenge of finding electric vehicle chargers nearby.
Comfort is highly rated, with guests enjoying the cosy atmosphere, comfortable beds, and additional amenities like TVs in each bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, including a good selection of books and games. However, the suggestion for additional garden seating indicates room for improvement.

Had a lovely stay at Castlemans Stables West. The property is exceptional clean, bright and well decorated and furnished. There was lovely views from the sitting area to enjoy. Due to the time of year and weather condition we could not utilise the outdoor facilities which would have only enhanced our stay. There was a good welcome pack and lots of things for the dogs, biscuits, bowls towls and a bed. The dogs loved their stay and found the enclosed space very spacious and allowed the dogs plenty of freedom.

A delightfully peaceful location, set up with comfort & convenience in mind. We were within an hour of the all places we'd planned to visit. Our only slight problem was, as we drive an electric vehicle, we needed to find chargers. There were only 2 places within the area. We successfully used Bannatyne's Hastings the first time & went to the other the (a local cafe & small supermarket) the second time but that didn't work so we had to hack down to Hastings, to Bannatyne's again. This, of course, is not the fault of the holiday property's owners.

A great base for touring Sussex. The cottage had everything you needed, it was like a home from home; very comfortable. I Loved sitting out on the decking with my book overlooking the countryside and listening to the birds of prey calling. There was a good selection of up to date novels to borrow and lots of board games if you wanted further entertainment. The Stables is ideal for visiting the coast with Hastings and Bexhill very close. Garden centres, plenty of restaurants and other places to visit like Battle and Rye. We shall definitely return
