This property is well equipped and if you take a dog, you don't need to bring along all the paraphernalia, as it is all provided. Located on a working farm with livery for horses and a dressage paddock where you can watch riders training their horses. A short drive to Hastings and Rye for seaside enthusiasts and a really good restaurant in Matfield. 'The Poet' where we celebrated a big birthday!Bring along a pint of milk, as the welcome pack, whilst extensive, didn't include any milk, which is all important for that first cuppa, post a long drive. You'll love it. We'll be going back.
