COVID-19 Advice

Hollyoak Sanctuary consists of three separate detached cottages enclosed in a central decked platform surrounded by oak and holly trees. Its location is serene and tranquil set in 14 acres of private grounds.  Facilities offered to guests include shared use of  a hard tennis court with basket ball and badminton markings, a petanque court and indoor table tennis.

The main cottage has a modern kitchen/diner, two bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room),  two separate shower and bath rooms with a roll top cast iron bath. One bedroom with double bed has a private balcony looking on to woodlands. The other bed room has two large single beds.

The second cottage has the master bed room, with king size bed, a garden sitting room with glass folding doors opening onto balconies with views of the surrounding woodland. The master bed room has a large bath room with an infra -red sauna room and a deep soaking Japanese bath tub, perfect for relaxing after a game of tennis or a long country walk.  

The third cottage consists of a pyramid shaped bedroom with a queen size bed. There are no bathroom facilities in the pyramid therefore guests will have to use these in the other cottages. This can be used as a bedroom, children's play den or simply a place to relax.

The central decking area links all the three cottages and is equipped with a dining table with chairs and benches, green egg clay BBQ oven, and an outside shower cubicle with hot water.  Hollyoak Sanctuary is surrounded by woodland enclosed by gates.

Lovely break in a wonderful location
We had a great stay and really enjoyed the tennis court and the main living space at Hollyoak Sanctuary. The weather didnt cooperate so we didnt use the outside space as much as we wanted to but it was fabulous and would be great in better weather. The property manager was very receptive in answering questions and was flexible meeting our requests. Kitchen well equipped and bedrooms were great. Very dog friendly which we loved and a nice circular walk straight from the drive or back garden around the paddocks. We will be back

Magical woodland hideaway
What a wonderful property! Totally unique, an amazing magical location and such an eclectic style. We loved the peace and quiet, and rustic location even though we were close to amenities and two lovely towns in Rye and Hastings. We had great information before we travelled and the check in and out process couldn’t have been easier. Thank you for an amazing stay, it’s an experience none of us will forget

Great woodland cabin village!
Great space to stay with the family, comfortable bedrooms, great kitchen and appliances, everything you would want for a home away from home in a cabin style woodland setting.

Lovely lodge
We had an enjoyable stay at Hollyoak Sanctuary. The location is fantastic (though initially difficult to find). There was plenty of space for 7 of us and we made use of the amenities. Little additions like the milk in the fridge were welcome. Only issues were that some of the rooms didn’t match what we saw on the website and the lodge could have been a little bit cleaner. Otherwise we had a great time and would recommend for a group of friends.

Memorable family trip
What a way to celebrate a birthday! My partner and the family all got together to celebrate and make memories together. Drive into the property was through an unpacked road with lots of bumps and dips. Though it was not a problem for us figured it would be for some to know in advance in case their car is not suited for a light off roading. Property itself is very spacious and tranquil. Kitchen is well equipped but do bring some salt with you if you plan to cook. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and a big stove stop will make you want to cook and share meals during the stay. Every room has characters and beautifully decorated. As the weather was not that great we didn’t get to use the outdoor space but look forward to returning in summer just so we can sit out in the beautiful garden. Thank you for the memorable trip. Highly recommend!

Fabulous haven of tranquility
We all loved staying here. Great location. Lovely for walking in the country park. The house is really special. Like staying in a tree house. Quite magical. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Had a lovely time however a few issues
Property is lovely and in an amazing setting, just needs updating and fixing a few things. The property could be better sign posted within the complex. Doors aren't 100% secure as some struggled to open and close, one door within the main bedroom situated next to the kitchen was unsafe as one yank of the door from the outside and this would open. This room also got very hot as no windows to open. Coffee machine didn't work, baseboard under dishwasher caused the door of the dishwasher to get stuck which we struggled to use. Window catches/locks faulty and didn't securely close and lock. Great location as lots of beautiful walks and cafes near by. Garden was amazing, lots of plants and things to look at, however was too overgrown in some places. The view from the lawn area was amazing and peaceful. Despite the snags as listed above we all had a lovely time. It really is a lovely property overall. Not quite worth the money we paid for due to the issues as listed above, in light of these I would of thought to pay a little less.
