A little piece of heaven on this earth what an amazing place. So peaceful so tranquil so special to be able to sit out on the veranda and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature and the lovely views across the Sussex countryside. The cottage is perfect everything you could possibly need so clean, bright, and comfortable. Neil and Caroline the perfect hosts 10/10 Loved the idea of the trolley to help move the luggage down the short garden path We will be back 😀

We’ve just come back from a week stay at cedar lodge cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean, with a lovely welcome package, bottled water in the bedroom and some toiletries. The views were amazing, and we witnessed some spectacular sunsets, and there is an abundance of wildlife to watch in the fields. Lots of thought has been put into providing plenty of seating in the garden, whatever the weather. The hosts were always on hand if we needed anything, but not intrusive, and very helpful. The cottage was very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We will definitely be booking to go back again.
