We wanted for nothing. Everything was there that we needed, so well thought through. Beautifully designed home. The games room was very successful. We were a 2-generational group of 8 adults in early May, and the multiple spaces indoors and outdoors suited us all perfectly.

Had the most amazing New Years stay. Its super spacious but has a lovely cosy feel, all room sizes are very decent, the games room was perfect for a winter escape but the very large spa pool is also there for a warm dip. The host is very easy to contact, and quick to reply. The surrounding villages are gorgeous and have all youd need, a 40min driveRead more away are Camber Sands and Rye and only 10mins away Chapel Down winery. This was the most perfect stay and we will be back Hide
