Blenheim cottage provided a lovely stay on a working sheep farm with public footpath across the fields into Rye. The accommodation had everything required for a relaxing self catering break with easy drives to explore Rye, the Rye Harbour Nature Reserve Winchelsea, Romney Marsh as well as beautiful gardens & National Trust properties in land.The owner was very helpful with excellent recommendations and immediately contactable if anything required.

Holiday cottage was perfect for a long weekend stay, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was drew us to book this site as it was only a short drive to beautiful historic Rye, the beaches, and half a dozen wonderful gardens to visit.

Blenhiem cottage is one of two on a working farm. It is small but was fine for me and my husband. It was adaquately equiped for the two of us. It is not fancy with loads of extras but that is refectled in the price. It was great value for money. The freezer door on the fridge is broken and should be fixed. It was lovely watching the wild and farm life. Views were lovely quiet and peaceful. Local aminities are all great Jepsoms has every you could need from a supermarket. The Cockrill serves lovely food for breakfast lunch and do a great Sunday carvery. The horse and cart also serve beatiful food we had a fabulous meal in this cosy pub. There are liads of lovely places to vist all an hours drive or less away. Rye is beautiful and quaint and 20 minutes away as is Camber sands. The resorts of Brighton and eastbourne are all within easy resch.Seversl National trust properties are in the area. Battle is also worth a visit there is a visyors centre a beauriful walk around the battlefield. Battle has several fabulis coffe shop. Hastings has a long shingle beach anx old town looks lovely. . Being members of the nattional trust and English herritage was brilliant because we used thwm all over. We had a lovely ride on the Bluebell railway but sadly the museum was closed. They also have soecial events and forafternoon tea.
