“Delightful, well equipped cottage”

We enjoyed a week here and were so lucky with the weather. Nikki is helpful and friendly and she soon sorted out a minor glitch we encountered with the wifi. This attractive house is in a lovely quiet location, set in beautiful gardens. The conservatory is an excellent place to relax and we made good use of the two reclining chairs in there after long, busy days exploring the area.

We enjoyed a week here and were so lucky with the weather. Nikki is helpful and friendly and she soon sorted out a minor glitch we encountered with the wifi. This attractive house is in a lovely quiet location, set in beautiful gardens. The conservatory is an excellent place to relax and we made good use of the two reclining chairs in there after long, busy days exploring the area. The house is tastefully furnished, comfortable and warm with all mod cons. We ate a couple of evening meals at The Three Cups Inn which is only a short walk away. We also had some meals at Elite in Heathfield, with their £9.95 mezzes for two people being unbeatable value at less than a fiver each. What is good about Heathfield is that it has free parking (unlike most of the other towns in the area which unfortunately do charge). However, you can park for three hours free at Sainsburys in Tunbridge Wells and Tesco in Lewes (and yes we did shop in them both!). There are lots of interesting towns within easy reach, such as Rye, Battle, Lewes, Tunbridge Wells, to name but a few. There are also a good number of historic houses and gardens in the area, including Michelham Priory (HHA), Batemans (NT), Scotney Castle (NT), Bodiam Castle (NT), Great Dixter House and Garden (HHA), Sissinghurst (NT) and many more. We could have done with a second week to see all the places we wanted to visit, as there are so many in that corner of the country and we didn't have time to get to them all.

Fabulous location to explore West Sussex. Cottage perfect for a couple looking for a 'get away from it all' break. Lovely walks from the cottage. Great pub only a two minute walk. Plenty to do, close drive to a number of attractions.

“This cottage was perfect for a ...”

This cottage was perfect for a quiet break in November. Although the weather was bitterly cold the cottage was very warm and welcoming, infact I was reluctant to go outside on some days. It's location suited me as it enabled me to see a lot of East Sussex and the beautiful woods surrounding the area were stunning in Autumn. I would definitely like to visit here again as I felt totally relaxed from the minute I arrived.

“Quiet, peaceful and well equipped cottage”

Situated in a beautiful part of East Sussex and ideal for anyone who loves the English countryside. Ideal for walkers with one walk straight from the cottage and others nearby but yet close enough to the coast at Rye, Hastings and Eastbourne (for Beachy Head). Good pub food available about 200 yards away and in the pretty village of Rushlake Green (1 mile). The cottage is very well furnished and fitted out and has a superb conservatory overlooking the garden which we used both for eating and just relaxing in the very comfy recliners. Nikki the owner made us very welcome right from the start with some lovely plums from her garden which were soon turned into a plum crumble. We would not hesitate to return.

The property

Rushlake Green 1 mile.

This beautiful detached cottage sits in the grounds of the owner’s home, in the heart of the Sussex countryside just a mile from Rushlake Green and four miles from Heathfield.

The cottage is in a perfect romantic spot from which to explore the beauty of this part of the country and the ideal place to relax and unwind in luxurious surroundings.

Decorated to the highest standard, the cottage offers a well-equipped kitchen and sitting area with a woodburner where, on chilly evenings, you can settle down with a bottle of wine and a DVD, before going upstairs to snuggle down and drift off to sleep ready for another day of long country walks.

On warm summer mornings, the conservatory with its dining area is an ideal place to enjoy your croissant and coffee as you plan your day ahead.

There is also an enclosed garden with patio and furniture where you can enjoy dining alfresco or a have a refreshing drink.

There is also shared use of a quarter of an acre of flower meadow with a pond and an orchard.

Situated along a quiet lane, and only a few minutes’ walk to a country pub serving excellent food, this lovely cottage is surrounded by woodland and meadows overlooking a traditionally made "straw bale barn" that serves as an artist's studio used by the owner, who lives next door.

For those guests who enjoy walks and cycle rides, then the South Downs National Park offers over 600 square miles of woodland and heathland to venture over.

Or if you are charmed by quaint tea rooms and browsing around antique shops, the market towns of Lewes and Alfiston are only short drives away and just the places to spend a day.

Heathfield also has a mixture of small shops and country pubs with restaurants.

This lovely cottage, tucked away in rural Sussex, is a perfect choice whether you are looking for a romantic weekend or an adventure packed holiday.
