Absolutely brilliant. Very comfortable and clean. Furnished to a high standard. Thanks for lovely welcome pack. Lots of information on places to visit. Andy met us on arrival just to make sure we knew where everything was. Beautiful views over the fields at the rear. Ideally situated for excellent rail service. We used train to visit Battle Abbey (worth checking English Heritage website as had discounted admission on producing valid rail ticket), and also Hastings. Bateman’s only a few miles up road is very well worth visiting. Highly recommend Willows View and definitely wish to return in the future.
