“The cottage is located in a lovely quiet spot that is within walking distance of Robertsbridge and within easy driving distance to many interesting places and the coast.”

Ideally suited for an away from it all break. Nice to be able to sit on the front terrace in the sunshine (when it appears) at many different times of the day. ...

Ideally suited for an away from it all break. Nice to be able to sit on the front terrace in the sunshine (when it appears) at many different times of the day. The listing is a bit confusing because it says sheets and towels provided but also says to bring your own. The booking email does suggest taking your own, which we did and was the right thing to do as there were only sheets provided. You might want to update your listing page. The cottage is ideal for two and on the whole is comfortable. There are a few things that could be improved as already mentioned by others - the shower area and the lack of wifi (or able to get phone signal) in the building. The latter wasn't a problem for us and the few times we needed a stronger signal we strolled across the courtyard to where you can pick it up more easily. The owner was happy to accommodate guests using the patio area behind the main property in order to access the wifi if needed. On the whole, a reasonably priced bolt hole for a week in East Sussex which we really enjoyed. Nice host and lovely location.

“This was a very dissapointing cottage in need of TLC and updating.”

The owner who lived on site shared that he was not investing in it as he was hoping to sell it. The place was very dated, old fashioned, broken tiles and dated furniture. We were told on the morning that we would need to take our own bedding, pillows and towels because of Covid, I am not sure what difference that would make. The Laundry facilities were filthy and I cleaned the entire room, wiping down tops and machines as well as cleaning and mopping the floors before I could use them The patio areas were full of over grown weeds. In the heat, we asked if there was a fan as we couldn't open the French doors at night as it backed onto woods and was told to go to Sainsburys to buy a fan. Whilst the owner was friendly, he was unprepared as was the cottage. The instructions for TV and Cooker related to other models. We were unable to use the TV until our second day when a relative of his came and put the TV on. This was an expensive 5 night stay and we are not inclined to use you again.

“A lovely area.”

Plenty of places to go on daily trips. It's a perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday. Nice greeting from the owner. Thanks Val Holford

“The cottage was generally ok, but as we picked probably the coldest and snowiest week of the year, there was a very bad draught into the lounge due to a very bad fitting front door.”

The main problem was the shower compartment which was in need of a complete refit, due to the poor condition of the tiles, some of which were almost coming away from the wall, the drain blocked up on the second day we were there and had to call the owner in to unblock it, also there was fungus growing in the corner behind the door which was also pointed out to the owner who took it away. Also the gap to get in through the shower door is only 15 inches, so anybody more than average size could struggle to get into the shower. If it is not possible to add a photo of the fungus to this feed back I will send it to you in an e-mail.

Thank you for feedback. The drain has now been unblocked and cleaned where the cleaner must have missed. The shower has also been newly fitted and to a standard size. Sykes owner relations

“The wiFi was inadequate which caused us the biggest problems.”

The cottage needs more money spent on it to bring it up to an acceptable level of comfort

About the location

ROBERTSBRIDGE

Hastings 10 miles. Royal Tunbridge Wells 13 miles.

Sat on the banks of the River Rother, Robertsbridge is a charming village in rural East Sussex, lying in the parish of Salehurst and Robertsbridge. Steeped in history, the village was first established by a group of Cistercian monks from Boxley in Kent, who founded what would become the Abbey of Robertsbridge in the twelfth century. Although the Abbey no longer exists, over the consequent years the village has prospered and is now a pleasing mix of Tudor, Georgian and Victorian architecture, offering a number of shops, pubs and even a railway station with travel links to London and the town of Hastings. The village lies in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a historical landscape filled with ancient woodlands, rolling hills, thriving gill streams and sandstone outcrops, interwoven with numerous medieval walking trails. There are plenty of places to visit near Robertsbridge. The towns of Hastings and Royal Tunbridge Wells are popular destinations for shoppers and culture buffs with a number of boutique and independent shops as well as museums and galleries. Hastings 10 miles. Royal Tunbridge Wells 13 miles.
