The sheep are an added bonus.The deck is a lovely space to eat breakfast and watch the world go by and there are lots of lovely walks close by. Being opposite a pub that does food is a bonus and the proximity to the sea is perfect. Easy to find with safe convenient parking, the house had everything in that anyone could possibly want. Comfy beds and a superbly equipped kitchen.The hosts were absolutely lovely. We got to bottle feed baby lambs and nothing was too much trouble. It was nice to be able to have a chat about the area, the history of the house and feel so welcomed.

The setting in Pett Village is idyllic with a 15th Century pub with great food and drinks and a lovely beer garden just across the road. It was quite and peaceful and is rightly named The Retreat. Jac and Phil are great hosts, attentive but not intrusive and it felt like my own home. ##### Richard F. Stayed 11 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael L. 5 Feb 2018 #### A Serene Stay We stayed in this cottage for 7 days. The hosts were very cordial and welcoming. The home was cozy, well-equipped, with very good kitchen appliances and a comfortable bed and nice linens—also plenty of storage space for clothing. The home is located in a peaceful setting and has convenient parking. There were many interesting historical and scenic attractions around the area. The only shortcomings were that the internet was intermittently very weak and could only support one device for emails. Also, the air fresheners/potpourri throughout the house were a little too strong. The problem was easily solved by removing them. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would stay here again. ##### Michael L. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 17 Jan 2015 #### 'A Peaceful Break' This property certainly lived up to its name, the retreat, for me. We had everything we could ask for in the cottage. The kitchen was fully equipped , plenty of hot water and always very warm, which is what we wanted at the beginning of January. So lovely to come in to after being out most of the day. It was also very clean and the owner was very friendly and helpful, leaving us some provisions to start our holiday. We found plenty of information in the cottage regarding places of interest , with lots to do on our doorstep. There were also plenty of books or puzzles if we just wanted a relaxing day indoors . It was good to have pubs close by to eat in if we didn't want to cook. I wouldn't hesitate to return to 'The Retreat' and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

The Owners went out of their way to make your holiday a pleasure avoiding intruding while being very approachable if required.You had your own space with decking area overlooking the woodland and geese beyond. Yes there are woodpeckers there. A lovely quiet location with excellent 16th century pub across the road.Food offering there is very good and reasonably priced. Take your walking boots with you to take advantage of the footpaths nearby.Good place to tour from with easy car access to Hastings. Rosemasry lane is ok for access to Fairlight but other than that I avoided using the lanes as you could go a long way before gettig a passing place. ##### David R.

We met Phil,the owner,on arrival at The Retreat. He and his wife are very kind and friendly. Thank you for the goodies you kindly provided. The Retreat is so warm and comfortable. Home from home. It is very well looked after and spotless. It was perfect for the 4 of us with a bathroom and an en-suite. There are 2 lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds. The kitchen is nice and every thing you need is there. The lounge is good to relax in, cosy and warm. We loved the outlook and watching the geese. There is a lovely sitting area outside and also a place to park your car. The location is so peaceful and is also handy for visiting place we love such as Hastings and Rye.There is a good market at Rye on Thursdays. Thank you both very much for everything. We are all very much looking forward to coming back again. ##### Linda G.

Die Einrichtung entspricht ganz genau den Bildern in der Anzeige. Wir haben mehrere wunderschöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht und Hastings und Eastbourne erkundet. Ein Highlight war der Great Dixter Garden, der uns sehr gefallen hat! Auch der Ausflug zu Beachy Head war sehr schön! Die Terasse lädt sehr zum Entspannen ein, nach einem ausgefüllten Tag, aber auch im Pub direkt gegenüber an der Straße kann man den Tag ausklingen lassen. Besonders zu empflehlen ist auch das Cafe in Pett, the Tic Tocory mit einem wunderschönem Außenbereich! Die Vermieter, die nebenan wohnen, waren sehr hilfsbereit ##### Marion M.

The view from the balcony was unbroken countryside with trees all around, with sun from first thing to early evening. The geese in the field next the cottage were an added delight. You would not know it but there was also a pub over the road which is well worth a visit. The beach which was just too far too walk to was easily accessed by car with plenty of parking all the way along and was never very crowded. We would definitely stay here again ##### Michael W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy L. 23 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hard To Fault Despite the bad weather we had a really comfortable and enjoyable few days' stay at The Retreat. It's in a very peaceful location and just a few miles from Hastings, Rye and Battle. The cottage was really clean and well equipped - we made use of the jigsaws and board games and the children had fun on the trampoline when the rain relented. If and when we return to East Sussex I don't think we'd bother looking for anywhere else to stay. We would definitely recommend! P.s. The wifi was fast - no problem for a few of us to stream iPlayer and Netflix at the same time in the evenings. ##### Timothy L.
