Enclosed lawned garden with patio, decking, garden furniture and barbecue. Access to 22-acre estate and lake (shared with owner). Electric vehicle charging point. Private parking for 2 cars.. Originally built in 1896, Spilstead Barn has been converted in 2018 into a delightfully welcoming holiday cottage. Still used for livestock and farming today, the 22 acre estate sets the scene with stables greeting you opposite the front door. You enter into the open plan living area, with a modern kitchen, shower room and the sitting and dining areas. You can see exposed glimpses of the original barn, with the beautifully restored beams cleverly separating the spaces. An extra touch of luxury has been added too, with new underfloor heating downstairs to keep your toes warm in colder months. The stairs lead you onto a large landing with soft, deep pile carpets and a cosy reading corner. There are two bedrooms, one a twin with lovely oak furniture, and a master bedroom at the far end with king size bed and fabulous views over the estate. There is also a smart shared bathroom to unwind in after a day out visiting the local towns and natural beauty of 1066 country. Outside you have a private, fully enclosed garden. With children and dogs welcomed, this is a perfect space for them to play while you relax on the decking and enjoy some shade and a book under the parasol. When you are ready to explore a little further, head out of the gate and the hidden gem of Spilstead Barn is reached by a glorious half mile walk. Stroll past the paddocks on a tree-lined avenue, along the old vineyard which meets the open fields, and you will find the beautiful, secluded private lake. With a picnic table and small rowing boat awaiting, you can dip your toes in the water, enjoy a spot of fishing or even take a leisurely swim around the island. Swimming at the lake and use of the boat is also allowed with prior arrangement, and at your own risk. Please ensure children are supervised at all times. Life jackets are provided. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - In a rural location ### Things to do - Fishing ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 18 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Rules The guest will be charged 50% amount for a cancellation after the reservation is made. ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Note from host: This property accepts a maximum of 2 pet(s) ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.

A lovely place to stay, a good location and very peaceful. Very comfortable, well equipped and extremely clean. A nice welcome pack too - thank you. It was a good situation for exploring the area, with plenty to see and do. Due to the pandemic we didn't investigate local pubs which was a shame as they all looked inviting.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location with very welcoming hosts. Just what we wanted for our break this year. The local area is very dog friendly and we visited a few castles and Battle Abbey (albeit just outside because of covid this year). The Queens Head is a fantastic local dog friendly pub where we enjoyed a meal. Hastings is close by, with an old town area well worth exploring. Lots of great walks including our daily morning trek to the lake! With the good weather we had, the whole holiday was perfect.

Probably the only thing to mention though not really a criticism is that four adults may find the comfy evening seating not adequate. Loved the lake! Bring rods!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Well equipped down to the finest details and is outstandingly clean. The photos don’t do the property justice on how spacious and modern it is. The two bathrooms are an added bonus. The owners are warm and friendly and leave lovely welcome treats. The grounds are stunning and the walk to the private boating lake is breathtaking. We will definitely visit again. Outstanding!

Downstairs is small but so well-designed that you have everything This holiday cottage is fantastic! Downstairs is small but so well-designed that you have everything you could possibly need, and the upstairs is spacious, calm and comfortable. But the real joy of Spilstead Barn is outside - a pretty, fully-enclosed garden leads on to acres of beautiful land which guests are free to roam. The horses stables are just feet from the front door, and my daughters were encouraged to spend time grooming them. A short walk through peaceful fields leads to a small lake with rowing boat, where we saw herons, frogs, foxes and much more. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the holiday home for you! To top it off, owners Ronni and Roger could not have been more friendly and helpful.

Absolutely picturesque place with lots to do in surrounding areas. Had a beautiful time and lots to investigate at the barn itself. Great with kids and pets. Owners are brilliant and friendly and made us feel very welcome. (Added bonus they were from where we currently live so lots to talk about). Would recommend this to anyone, the boat is lots of fun Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo ##### Russell This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gianna 19 Jul 2020 #### We loved staying at this property. We loved staying at this property. It had everything we needed and was close to so many attractions. We went into Hastings one day, Camber Sands another day and took advantage of the little boat on the lake at the property another day. We also enjoyed a couple of dinners outside, overlooking the beautiful gardens. The hosts were lovely and the bottle of fizz and fruit cake were a welcome treat. Thank you to Roger and Ronni for their hospitality.

We had a wonderful week's stay at Spilstead Barn over the August bank holiday with our 3 young boys. A travel cot and high chair were provided which was great. We found the cottage spotlessly clean and it had everything we needed. We loved eating dinner in the garden, overlooking the fields. The owners were welcoming and my son loved that he got to stroke the horse! We enjoyed going out in the rowing boat on the lake and even had a swim as it was so hot! Lots of family friendly places to visit nearby. We will definitely recommend to family and friends. ##### Hazel This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 20 Sept 2019 #### Modern barn conversion done to a high standard.

The property was well equipped for our week and the owners input (not intrusive) helped us, as we were new to the area. The walk down to the lake was quiet and there was a chance to relax by the lake or take the rowing boat out. We had a good week of weather, and we were able to enjoy all our visits and then return to the Barn to relax. ##### Timothy ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [5* Detached Stone Cottage with a Private Indoor Pool (Not Shared)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashbourne-Hotels-5-Detached-Stone-Cottage-With-A-Private-Indoor-Pool.h31752210.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Windsor Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Egham-Hotels-Fairmont-Windsor-Park.h60335617.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Macdonald-Old-England-Hotel-Spa.h10610.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [ORIDA Maidstone Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-ORIDA-Maidstone-Hotel.h74419166.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Aphrodites Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Aphrodites-Group.h901033.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information)
