A cozy comfortable & clean studio above a garage, with open views over meadows, with indeed Willows! A few miles from Burwash, and many other East Sussex attractions. Everything available for a comfortable stay, with welcoming host/owner. Recommended!

It was a joy to spend a few days at Willow View. We had everything we needed to ensure our comfort and the property was spotlessly clean. The area is delightful with many National Trust properties within easy reach. Adam the owner met us on our arrival and explained how everything worked. All in all a great place to stay, highly recommended . Thank you Adam.

We had a relaxing stay at Willows View, everything you need for a comfortable stay, we were left a welcome package too, which we really enjoyed.Great location for visiting two National Trust properties - Bateman’s & Bodiam Castle and driving a little further to Rye and Hastings. A lovely short break, we plan to stay longer next time we visit.
