  6 a.m.

  shotgun-fire in the adjoining fields *every* morning sent us home early, more exhausted than when we arrived. Bizarre, unfinished renovation - certainly not "thorough" as described - unpainted bare plaster walls, no light switches for the kitchen near the living room/front door, the downstairs toilet is now off the kitchen where the hall wall has been removed, ugh. No measuring jug/spoons/kitchen scales. Single glazed windows with no coverings in places at the back, will be very cold in winter! Bathroom toilet doesn't flush properly, dirty windows throughout, unkempt/unmown garden... No welcome info on arrival, spent the 1st evening trying to get onto wifi (the arrival email came the next day). The cottage feels unloved/unwanted - nowhere close to other 4* cottages we've stayed in, sadly. The picture of the sunroom is taken from the Carr Taylor vineyard's outdoors terrace, making it like a fishbowl, completely lacking privacy - needs a hedge planting! Cottage is at the entrance to the vineyard RIGHT NEXT to visitor's area, which is just not made clear on the listing - it is certainly not private/secluded/away from it all!!! The lane is very busy with constant cars, vans, minibuses and full size coaches coming and going all day, sometimes making it difficult to get to the cottage and on/off the drive. Not "idyllic" as described, by our definition. However, the milk/butter and dog bits were appreciated and the log burner was lovely!! Well-placed for access to Hastings, Rye and the south coast, Battle, High Weald etc.

  For most of the past 15 years our holidays have been in the UK and therefore we've experienced our fair share of self-catering properties.

  This has to rank amongst one of the best we've had the luxury of renting. Spacious yet cosy, well equipped and comfortable; decorated in a nice "country" fashion and with a lovely quiet enclosed garden for the dog - and to sit out in. During our week we were visited by a rabbit, a heron, a squirrel and even a fox (not all at the same time!) and it was a lovely base to return home to after our days out - or even to just sit around in and do nothing! The wi-fi was good enough for our boys (who are teenagers or almost) to be able to stream their favourite games and shows when they needed to. The location is beautifully quiet yet close enough to Hastings and the sea to not feel like you're in the middle of nowhere (though the small lanes and the speed at which some drivers use them was a bit of a challenge at times!) And the Three Oaks pub is well worth a visit - though a good idea to book at weekends and busy times. The only thing which would have made it even more perfect was if there had been some instructions on the various appliances - in particular the heating (which we did need on one evening).

  We had a lovely stay, a very comfortable place with a very well equipped kitchen.

  Zoe was on hand for support. We stayed for the Christmas holiday and the house was decorated lovely, a great tree and lots of cute little Christmas touches around the place. On arrival Zoe had left some essentials such as milk, eggs and mince pies, again a lovely touch. On arrival the cottage was lovely and warm and continued to stay warm though our stay. Good showers , lots of hot water. We didn’t really venture our much, it rained a lot but lovely to be so close to Rye and Hasting places we know well -we live in Brighton- so not far away! A couple of things that didn’t go so well for us, we couldn’t get any signal on TV but we had a amazon Fire stick and internet worked ok on all our d3vices. Also the single bed was very soft and bouncy so we had to put my elderly mum in one of the doubles as she tumbled out in the night, thankfully no major injuries! Would definitely recommend Hop House and would return for another stay.

  Well we used this as our base for getting around the Sussex Coastline.

  We had a fab time and this place gave us a great launch pad to visit places in Sussex. I think we walked the England Coastline whilst there, well that's what my feet are telling me! Public transport is great there too, train station less than 10 mins walk and bus stops 5 mins walk. Right this place is not a palace but it is clean, tidy and very welcoming which is just what you want. It has everything you need for a week or two's stay. There was some nice touches too, we took are doggie there with us and to our surprise there was some dog treats there for little Albie. He loved them! Tea, coffee and milk awaiting your arrival so that was great to have a cup of tea/coffee when we got there. The bedroom and living/dinning room are large with more space than you actually need. For two people and a doggie this place was perfect for us. Would I come back this this place - YES!

  Myself and two sisters and my little dog spent 7 lovely days in this beautiful house tucked away in a veery quiet little hamlet in icklesham.

  The house was perfect for us everything we needed was there . The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable,lovely kitchen diner and lounge which is actually bigger than you think from the photos so quirky. Oh the garden well it is as beautiful as the house the views from every window in the house and in the garden are lovely we loved watching the sheep and horses . We were lucky enough to meet Zoe and her Dad (the owners) and they were lovely and well done to her Dad who told us he looks after that garden which is very secure if you have dogs they must both work hard to keep it so nice. Also very central for Hastings,Battle, Rye,Eastbourne ,we also went to Tenderton.we are looking at dates to return to three oaks next year .Thankyou also for the welcome gifts you left us a lovely touch .From the three sisters and Ollie (the dog)
