Placed just back from the seaside this cottage offers spacious, peaceful accommodation with off road parking and a secure garden. We found it easy to relax in this base after trips out to the many beautiful attractions nearby. Rye, Winchelsea and Hastings all within easy driving distance. Pub, takeaway and Coop within walking distance made catering easy. Only tiny niggle was slow draining bathroom basin, otherwise excellent!

We have just come back from the best weekend at New Hope. The cottage was lovely and a real home away from home. Our dog Sully absolutely loved having his freedom and particularly enjoyed the lovely shaded garden and local beaches. I can’t fault our stay here and can’t wait to return next summer.
