“The cottage was in an excellent position for all the local towns and cities -- and the coast.”

The owners of the cottage were really easy to get on with and welcoming.

Mr Grindrod, June 2019
“We felt that this cottage was unsuitable for older people, was a bit basic and not particularly comfortable.”

As far as older people were concerned the bath was very deep ( it reached my upper thigh), there were no handles to grab hold of and no shower mat. The stairs were stee... more
As far as older people were concerned the bath was very deep ( it reached my upper thigh), there were no handles to grab hold of and no shower mat. The stairs were steep and the upstairs ceiling very low as the rooms are in the eaves. The other comment refers to the fact that there was no hair dryer, the mother of the owner who lived in the attached house had to walk past our main windows to go to the farmyard or into her garden and it was a little like being in a goldfish bowl although I am sure she did not look in on us we were conscious of this. We also had no privacy in the garden as this was overlooked by her back door. We were aware that the property was on a smallholding but did not expect there to be five dogs - two of which were farm collies and kept in a wire cage and which always barked at night, probably as a fox of other animal wandered past - they started the other dogs barking as well. The cockerel started at first light. The bedroom windows faced the yard and sleeping was difficult. We actually came home on the Wednesday. The mother was very pleasant. It was not up to the standard of the other Sykes cottages we have stayed at.

It was much appreciated that she left cake, milk and several other items. The only thing we would say on the negative side - but this is small - is that there was no soap in the bathrooms, not enough washing up liquid and only a small cafetiere. Obviously nobody wants to be buying household items on a short stay. But these are small criticisms - we really enjoyed our stay. Many thanks.

“A wonderfully relaxing break with very friendly ‘hosts’.”

Excellent accommodation in an area that has masses to explore.

Mrs Hansen, April 2019
“Excellent cottage well equipped and warm and comfortable just needed a table lamp in lounge and the small light in bathroom to work as very bright when you had a bath.”

The farm animals were all lovely and we were there in lambing season so daughter loved that and owner Sally was friendly despite I’m sure being exhausted from lambing ! Welcome gifts were appreciated and a stunning chocolate cake and farm fresh eggs it’s touches like this which always make a holiday and basic provisions like wash up liquid, cloths and salt and pepper, loo roll etc !

Mrs Bushnell, April 2019
“Exactly what you would expect from a holiday on a working farm, lovely people.”

Busy lambing due to time of year and still had time for us.

The owners who lived in the attached farm house were very welcoming and provided milk, eggs from their farm and a wonderful homemade Victoria sponge cake. The cottage is exactly as described. We would recommend this cottage but be prepared for farm animal noises especially from the cockerels in the morning

Mrs Cossens, February 2019

It was even beter than we hoped for! The Cottage is well designed and very comfortable, and had everything we needed. We immediately felt at home! The hosts Amy and Peter were very friendly and helpful, and let us do our thing. Our son Joep was over the moon with all the animals, tractors and land on the farm. He felt like he owned the farm.... Every morning the rooster waked us up, and we watched the animals got fed.... lovely surroundings and pretty Sussex countryside. We loved it!

Mrs Keizer-de Vries, September 2018

The cottage was extremely comfortable with some charming features like the leather chair, dresser in the kitchen and enormous mirror in the bathroom but also modern touches like the TV with BT Sport and a surround sound system. The owners were really friendly and helpful and the produce from the farm shop, especially the chocolate cake, was great. We loved our stay and would definitely go back.
