Absolutely great! We loved being on a working farm with animals all around, even the sheepdogs!Well equipped cottage and beautifully decorated. Only problem was quite uncomfortable sofa and chairs. But we realised that there wasn’t much space there. Otherwise everything was good,lovely comfy beds.

Conveniently located not far from Rye or Camber Sands which can both get busy. Based on a working sheep farm so lots going on to watch whilst doing the washing up. Spacious with great views from the garden. We'll be back!

A very beautiful and cosy cottage. The upper bedroom ist ideal for children, but would be a little bit small for adults. The kitchen is well equipped and on the terrasse is a comfortable place to sit. The hosts were very friendly and offered great sightseeing advice.
