Situated in the Weald with easy access to Herstmonceux, Battle, Pevensey, Eastbourne, and Hastings. A short drive to the seaside and many castles to visit. Herstmonceux Castle is just a walk away. The excellent local pub is a few yards away and serves food daily. It is popular due to its award-winning nature, so it is recommended to book in advance. A local coffee shop in Herstmonceux is a firm favourite with visitors and locals alike. Lovely countryside walks including the South Downs National Park and the 1066 Country Walk (which passes right by the property). Walkers are wonderfully well catered for, with the property situated on the 1066 Country Walk. Pevensey Castle is a good morning’s walk away, across Pevensey Marshes, while towards the North East, The Ash - a highly recommended pub for great food is under a 2-hour walk, through peaceful, rolling Sussex countryside.

We took our large rough collie with us to stay at the Cosy Cowshed and found it to be a spacious and well equipped property. It is ideally located for many areas of interest particularly National Trust properties. The owners were very welcoming and friendly.

Cosy Cow shed was excellent everything there that you would need very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The owners were very friendly and there if you need them. The view from the patio doors was amazing and some lovely walks from the property.

The Cosy Cow Shed was very comfortable and clean. The owners Helen and Ian were very friendly and welcoming. It is located reasonably centrally so easy to visit between Brighton and Hastings, also Bodiam and Herstmonceux Castles. About 5 miles to Pevensey Bay and in beautiful countryside. Would definitely stay there again if in the area.
