We were happy with the cottage, bathrooms are very good and well equiped. On the whole it provides excellent accommodation with a lovely view from the lounge window. Very quiet and peaceful.

The owners of the Dairy Cottage are THE perfect hosts. On our arrival there was fresh milk, tea, coffee and cookies available. The lovely cottage has all you can dream of. We felt home from home. Most beautiful countryside, very quiet and easy to get to wonderful locations in the area of East Sussex and Kent. We'll be back!
