It was a great stay at the cottage. The area is lovely and the yard is beautiful. The boys had a blast paying soccer is the yard. We enjoyed the walk into the town. It is about 30 -40 minutes over fields. Nearby is a cute castle you can visit. You can even go there by boat. The owners of the apartment are very kind and very helpful. Whenever you have a question they have an answer.

Lovely accommodation in a great spot for exploring East Sussex and Kent. The grounds are beautiful too, very relaxing at the end of a busy day exploring and a short walk across the fields to a lovely local pub for food and local ales.
