About this property
The Little Acorns, boasting a wonderfully unique setting, resting in Stunts Green, East Sussex is a detached studio that adjoins an alpaca farm. Guests get to see these endearing creatures as they come and go each day, together with roaming ducks and chickens; that’s not something you get to see every day! Perfect for a romantic hideaway, the studio is set within six acres of farmland which visitors can enjoy a stroll in and meet and greet the 20 resident alpacas. Standing within private gardens which include an enclosed patio area, a delightful pond which is filled with koi fish and a hot tub as well as plenty of patio furniture. You can imagine spending a lot of time out here, soaking up the idyllic surroundings, watching the fish in the pond, looking out for alpacas and other creatures and enjoying a wonderful dip in the hot tub. Come rain or shine, the guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of this stunning setting while chilling out in the hot tub. Once you’ve had a relaxing wallow, you can step inside through the French doors and enter the small but perfectly formed space which has been completed to an incredibly high standard. There is a sofa and armchair positioned in front of a Smart TV where you can imagine curling up and enjoying spending quality time together, and when you get hungry, the kitchen is more than adequately fitted with a range of facilities to make sure you can create delicious food for your loved one. Enjoy a snack together at the breakfast bar or try a romantic dinner for two at the dining table and chairs, or if the sun is shining, take your meal outside and enjoy some drinking and dining alfresco style. Come bedtime and the gorgeously appointed king bed is just waiting to be sunk into before looking forward to another day in paradise. The Little Acorns is a wonderful base from which to explore this delightful part of the world, so if you can tear yourself away from the alpacas, it’s worth getting out and about exploring. Take a visit into Hailsham which has a great selection of shops and eateries with towns such as Eastbourne with its beach and pier and Hastings with its castle ruins, museum and art gallery, both worth a visit. Hastings Country Park and the 14 mile Cuckoo Trail which is suitable for walkers and cyclists, both boast some impressive views along the way. Herstmonceux Castle is also well worth a visit. The Little Acorns is a little studio with big ideas, offering guests a beautiful spot to enjoy a romantic getaway.
The town of Hailsham is settled in the picturesque county of East Sussex. A large and popular spot for UK holidaymakers, you will find an array of shops, pubs and restaurants to be enjoyed during your stay. With the busy resort town of Eastbourne a short drive away, spend the day wandering down the beautiful beach and famous pier before stopping off for some fish and chips and soaking up culture at Towner Art Gallery. The stunning town of Hastings, just 17.9 miles away, boasts a rich history with sites such as the Norman ruins of Hastings Castle and Hasting's Museum and Art Gallery. Take the Est Hill Lift up to Hastings Country Park and take in the breath-taking views of the southeast coast as you stroll. Closer to home, Cuckoo Trail provides excellent cycling routes or instead head to Arlington Bluebell Walk and Farm Trail where you will find the local farmer's market. If travelling with children, be sure to pay a visit to Knockhatch Adventure Park and meet the family of Owls and other farm animals. Hailsham is a wonderful place to discover East Sussex.

Owners were very welcoming, accommodation was very clean and we very much enjoyed the use of the hot tub. Lots of nice country pubs in the area. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

..on reflection maybe a few tweaks would help, for instance supplying robes for the hot tub and hooks outside the building would help, improving the outside area a little for example new garden furniture ect, inside was fine maybe perhaps checking the cooking utensils closely ie one of the pans had what looked like poached eggs burnt at the bottom however the kitchen was clean overall , the settee was a little uncomfortable it felt it had no spring support at the bottom, the bed was ok, the bathroom bright and clean but no toiletry space the owners were very nice and friendly and made us welcome...

well appointed and extremely comfortable. Everything was to our liking except the access to the hot tub.. We should have noticed from the pictures that there was no hand rail which of course to younger folk would not have been a problem. However, we are in our mid/late 70's and made us feel very vulnerable.We did manage to get our selves in and out (not a pretty sight, sense of humour need.) most enjoyable! The welcome pack was thoughtful, Thank you K&D and having our drinks in the sun watching the fish were very pleasant. As stated a wonderful venue.
