Quince Cottage is a lovely little bolt hole very close to Battle which is a great place to visit The only negative I have is the welcome pack was eggs and biscuits and I would have preferred milk and breadThe photos don’t do this place justice. It is a beautifully converted barn with high end finishes We would stay here again
