A lovely, clean, well equipped cottage surrounded by fields. So tranquil, with an amazing dawn chorus. A welcome pack was provided too. Only a couple of miles to Battle. A small town with local shops, cafes and the historic Abbey. There are so many interesting places to visit in the area. I have stayed in many cottages over the years and this is definitely one of the best.Highly recommended 👍🏻
