Quince Cottage is in a beautiful location just off the A21 near Hastings. Shops, Pubs and a garden centre are all within a couple of miles. The warm welcome we received from Penny and Andrew was the best. I have a couple of small niggles about the property. Firstly there is very little storage space for your belongings and none for your food apart from a small fridge and freezer. Secondly the bedroom is accessed by a steep staircase and, if like me, you need to attend a call of nature during the night, that staircase is hazardous. All in all, this dog friendly bijou cottage is an excellent base to discover areas of interest in East Sussex
