All that it looks to be on the website it is. The only thing worth foregrounding (though the website is actually clear about this) is that the property is located in the middle of the owners' property, opposite their house, so if you want complete rural isolation, you're not going to get that. But the owners are friendly and very much keep to themselves if you don't want to chat. This is typical of the consideration they show in the upkeep of such a nice place to stay--which in all other respects is quiet with a lovely spacious garden to sit in and relax on your own and undisturbed--so in that resepct you absolutely do feel you are in the heart of the countryside. ##### Andrew C.

We did not meet the owners as they were away but the dog/house sitter, Brian was extremely helpful and welcoming, the 3 dogs were so friendly and funny. The cottage was fully equipped with everything you would need and very clean. It is decorated lovely with extra thick curtains and blinds and the bed was extremely comfortable . The gardens and orchard were lovely to walk around and take in all the lovely plants. It was so nice to sit out on the balcony in the evening and listen to the different birds and watch the sheep in the adjacent field. There is so much to do and see and in our 3 days we had here, we explored Rye, Dungeness, Hastings and Battle as well as a couple of the many farm shops near by. We would love to visit again and would definitely recommend it, thank you. ##### Jacqueline L.

This place is very cute and cozy, in a very lovely location with parking on site. There's a kitchen if you want to cook for yourself, and it's a nice space to just hang out. My husband and I particularly enjoyed sitting outside and stargazing as we don't normally get those in London! The only things we didn't like was that there were spiders everywhere (thankfully my husband is willing to get rid of them) and also it would benefit from being a bit better stocked. They provided dish soap, but no handsoap in the bathroom and no rubbish bags. It also said tea and coffe was provided, but the instant coffee we found was very old. Overall enjoyed, but if i had been by myself with all those spiders it would have been a bigger problem for me. ##### Hannah I.

Idyllic countryside, even heard an owl at night. Didn't meet the owners or see the dogs so can't comment on that aspect.Bed was massive and comfy.The place had everything you could need for a comfortable break.We did download the 'what 3 words app' which found the words but then directed us to Waze or Google maps, but despite having phones open on each app we had difficulty finding the location as it was 4.30pm and getting dark. We obviously found it and got in after a few hiccups. The place was quite chilly when we arrived so we turned the heaters on which worked a treat. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/42495e30-80f0-46a8-bb73-d0ef63876b78-1763655835798.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2f43061-63d4-4b70-b10b-308408083041-1763655836533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ec9c7283-32a5-4325-8b66-8229d4b2b4dc-1763655834520.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ba4c6e6a-a9f1-44e6-9040-32cd2da835d3-1763655839104.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tina C.
