We really enjoyed our stay at Lords View the number of birds we saw in the garden and around was amazing. The owner is really friendly and the cottage is really well equipped. We enjoy visiting National Trust gardens and were able to visit some from here.

We loved this holiday cottage and we all thought that it was one of the best we've stayed in. The location was so beautiful and peaceful, there wasn't any equipment we felt that we could have had and the accommodation suited us perfectly. Best of all it was always warm and the towels were large and thick.

We recently stayed at Lords View and really enjoyed our stay. A warm welcome from Peter accompanied by his friendly dog Sam. The cottage is immaculate and has all the amenities you could wish for, its in a lovely peaceful location with amazing panoramic views which were great to wake up to each morning along with some fantastic sunsets! We had milk, flowers and eggs (from the chickens on the farm) left for us on arrival which we really appreciated. There are some great pubs a short drive away and we had some lovely days out visiting Battle Abbey, Hastings and Leeds Castle. We would love to stay here again and explore the area further.
