"The property was superb, very well Setout and it was an amazing holiday place."
We will 100% stay again for future holidays. Also the owners were very kind, leaving many amenities including a carrot cake, butter in the fridge and bread too. Large rooms with great Wi-Fi and channels on the TV, with nice views and feels very private and quite.
Definitely a home from home and would recommend to others.

"This property is a real gem in the heart of the Sussex countryside."
The Cowshed was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. It was well equipped with everything you needed for a trouble free holiday. Some lovely touches like fresh flowers and a welcome pack of milk, tea, bread and butter and even a lovely cake, added to the welcome feeling. Cathy was the nicest of hosts. Nothing was too much for her. Places of interest like Battle, Deal or Margate were within easy reach. I would recommend this lovely cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful, relaxing holiday.

"The bed in the main bedroom was not big enough."
It needs to be a king-size. There needs to be grab handles on the bath to enable people with mobility issues to get out easily. I have osteoarthritis and really struggled even with the help of my husband. The sofas are not comfortable. I had to put a pillow behind the back cushion and have another one to sit on. They were not easy to get up from unless I did this. It should also be pointed out that there are units at the bottom of the garden from which people work. We were disturbed with the sound of drills and angle grinders for om building work being carried out.

"We likes the cowshed, good size for 3 people."
Cleanliness was ok, beds a bit hard, but that’s personal. The bathroom kept wet after showering or taking a bath. The living room was getting too hot, despite turning the temp down. We liked the room with the washing machine, we could stock up all your stuff which wasn’t in direct need. What I really missed was the owner not getting in touch by e-mail of leaving a telephone number to talk about the last details and arriving times.

"We had a lovely stay at The Cowshed over the very cold period in early December 2022."
The under floor heating worked a treat and the cottage was very well-appointed. On the day we were due to leave the owners were kind enough to let us stay a few hours more to allow the weather to warm up and the lane to thaw out so we could leave safely. The place was ideally located for visiting the coast and nearby countryside and activities. Our two-year old loved it too!

It’s a very comfortable, clean and extremely well equipped cottage, spacious and well laid out. A pretty garden offers the opportunity to enjoy the good weather and admire the surroundings. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and flowers in the rooms made for a homely feel.

"The Cowshed is a beautifully presented property in a very quiet location but is not far from most of the major attractions including several NT and English Heritage properties plus the Kent & East Sussex Railway, towns, beaches, walks etc."
The layout of the property suited us perfectly having to look after our two grandsons and with the safe walled garden this was ideal. Due to the age of the boys we had the majority of our evening meals here so a slightly larger freezer would have helped but this is being really really picky, so we did manage to cope. This is our second visit to The Cowshed and we already plan to return again next year.

"The Cowshed is a great place for a lovely relaxing holiday."
So much effort has gone in to making it a comfortable and attractive place to stay with much attention to detail and some really nice finishing touches. In short, the Cowshed has everything you could need.
Sedlescombe is a very good base for accessing all the lovely attractions that East Sussex has to offer and on top of that, there are plenty of good walks in the immediate area without having to get the car out.
Cathy and Tim are nearby to help with any queries without being intrusive and are obviously determined to make sure their guests are having a lovely holiday.
We would thoroughly recommend the Cowshed.

The location was ideal and in a very secluded and quiet setting which was fantastic. All the places we wanted to visit were very close at hand (Hastings, Bodiam Castle, Northiam, Winchelsea, to name a few), which kept driving to a minimum. The secluded safe garden was ideal for our 4 year old Grandson it was a shame the weather didn't allow as to fully enjoy it. There is still much to do and see in the area and we hope we will be able to return at some stage in the future.
