Very nice cottage in picturesque location handy for all of East Sussex and Kent.Clean and comfortable with sufficient equipment for a week or so break. Nice outside seating area overlooking fully fenced gardens good for dogs but shared with adjacent cottage. Easy parking if a little difficult to find ( probably failure to read directions properly). Would visit again and therefore recommend.

Ideal holiday home for a family with two children and in combination with Castlemans East ideal for two families. It is an excellent location to visit all the tourist attractions in East Sussex and Kent and Hastings (Sainsbury's and Aldi) is only a few minutes' drive away for daily shopping. We can highly recommend Castelmans!
