With a spacious lawned garden, your days can be spent relaxing with a good book and a cool drink looking out over the garden gate to the picturesque lake in the owners’ garden beyond, or exploring the delights that this beautiful area of Sussex has to offer.
From the stunning coastline, with Winchelsea beach within a short drive, to the rolling countryside that awaits on your doorstep, with Hastings Country Park nearby, and the renowned 1066 walking route leading directly from Garden Cottage through miles of pretty scenery to Battle. The winding cobbled streets of the hilltop town of Rye can also be reached within a 15-minute drive. The location really couldn’t be better! Comfortably furnished, the views into the garden from the sitting room are quite delightful, whilst the log burner means you will be cosy even on those winter evenings. Pub within a mile.

We loved staying in Garden Cottage.
We loved staying in Garden Cottage. It’s very comfortable and the garden is beautiful. We were very grateful for the welcome pack and the fresh flowers. It’s in a great position to visit Rye, Hastings, Lewes and there are plenty of country walks locally. A perfect place for a 4 day holiday.

We enjoyed a much needed break at Garden Cottage. It was a perfect place for us as a family of three. The cottage was comfortable, well equipped and completely spotless. Very well located to visit Winchelsea, Rye, Hastings and Battle. Hopefully we will return again to further explore the area.

We enjoyed a very relaxing week in this comfortable cottage. We especially liked the garden with it's view over the small lake and resident moorhens. It was wonderful to have such extensive walks on footpaths and fields on the doorstep and the dog enjoyed himself immensely!

We loved our few days at this cottage.
We loved our few days at this cottage. It was spottlessy clean when we arrived. The kitchen has all the essential items you need including a cafetiere, a few tea bags and half a pint of milk in the fridge. The bedroom has really comfortable beds and the garden is just a delight overlooking the main house ponds. I would definitely reccomend it and would go back.
