Herbrand House

Aged 90 & living in a Care Home, I do not have a vast circle of acquaintances to whom I could recommend the property.

For myself I was very happy, since my initial attraction was the garden and it met all my expectations. I was cold & could find no instructions as to heating and too shy to ask. Evenings were heaven for bird-watching and the sunny days pretty impressive for insect life, particularly butterflies. (Used to teach Biology with emphasis on ecology). Much appreciated facility for mobility scooter and everything being on ground floor. Ideal for mildly disabled like myself. Landlady very kind, helpful and understanding.

Valerie very pleasant lady, left us bread, milk, biscuits Has every thing for your needs from cooking to hand wash soap etc towels.

Chairs for beach, loungers in garden Beautiful garden to chill and lovely flowers and plants around Would definitely recommend a stay and lots of others places to visit

We had a wonderful week.

A warm welcome from Valerie and a very generous welcome gift. The accommodation is very modern and comfortable with everything you would need. The garden is exceptional. We enjoyed sitting and eating in the garden. We used the trains and left the car on the driveway. We have booked again for next year .

Our fourth visit to this delightful property, and already booked for next year.

The property is very comfortable and well equipped and ideally situated. Valerie is so welcoming and her treats very much appreciated. Will be missing our evening walks on the beach. Margaret

This is definitely a 5* place and we have stayed in many self catering properties throughout our lives so feel qualified to judge !

From being greeted by Valerie and shown round to the generous welcome pack , we were off to an excellent start . We found so many interesting places to visit in the vicinity that we were kept very busy ! However it was also lovely to sit in the beautiful garden or go down to the sea and swim !

Herbrand House is a very pleasant place to stay.

It is a gem and I'm glad we found it . It is very quiet. The garden, overlooking the sea, is beautiful. We had an extremely relaxing holiday. The lady who owns Herbrand House is lovely and helpful. Bexhill and Eastbourne are nearby.

From the first moment we arrived we knew we’d made a good choice.

Lovely welcome from Valerie and a great welcome pack. Comfortable and well equipped accommodation. But the garden, what can I say other than we felt like we’d died and gone to heaven! The gate from the garden directly onto the beach and swimming in the sea was the icing on the cake. The weather couldn’t have been better so we were very lucky on that front. We’ve booked again for next year.

Valerie is always there to give you a warm welcome and wish you a pleasant stay.

This was our sixth visit and although the weather was slightly against us it didn't stop us from going out for our usual walks. It's worth being there just for the enjoyment of the garden and sea view. Thank you for the goodies and we have already booked two visits for next year.

Very well and thoughtfully equipped in delightful, spacious accommodation.

Beautiful situation enhanced by spectacular garden. Generous welcoming pack and warm welcoming hostess. Home from home.

We very much enjoyed enjoyed our week at Herbrand House, and would thoroughly recommend it to others.

The accommodation is perfect for couples, and its location is right on the beach, which never gets that crowded. We had access to the beautiful garden, and had a lovely, peaceful time, and are seriously considering re-booking for next year. Sharon & Doug.

This was our 3rd year at this wonderful property, with garden access to the beach.

As Cooden train Station is only 4 minutes down the road, it makes it really convenient for travelling to different seaside locations East and West. The host, Valerie is always welcoming and provides a lovely welcome pack on arrival. Regardless of the weather we always enjoy our stay. We will be back next year. Karin and Peter Hopkins

Perfect place for a seaside holiday.

It had everything in it to make a superb relaxing time.Lovely welcome from Valerie when we arrived.A lovely welcome pack on arrival also.We hope to return next year.

It was so lovely to stay in this cottage.

Valerie had made sure that there was everything we could possibly need- lovely fruit basket , decaf ground coffee and milk in the fridge in arrival. There also was bread, marmalade oil and sun provided The garden was lovely to stroll around and down the steps from this was Cooden Beach and sea. Morning and evening strolls were great seeing the different mood of the sky and sea at these times.

Our first stay at Herbrand House, and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

The accommodation and location were excellent, and being gardeners, we were delighted to be able to share Valerie’s lovely gardens for a week!

After many visits to Herbrand House nothing has changed.

Welcome is always warm, accommodation is always of the highest quality and garden and access to beach is magical. Next visit is already booked and much looked forward to.

Once again we had an exceptionally comfortable week in Herbrand House.

All we needed to settle in was provided together with a warm welcome from Mrs Tarry.

Valerie was very welcoming the accommodation was excellent it was the most well equipped cottage not only the cottage was fabulous the garden was stunning we would highly recommend it hopefully we will be able to go back

It was a lovely house to stay in and in a perfect position especially if you love the sea.

It was exceptionally well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Also Valerie had left so many delicious things for us . So very thoughtful and generous. We would love to come back and stay in the Summer! A great place to stay!

Outstanding in every way.

Welcome treats were exceptional. The accommodation is very spacious. It looked out on to a beautiful garden with a back ground of a seascape. The station was a few minutes away with routes to many interesting places. With the use of a rail card travel was great value and we had no need to use the car. There was plenty of parking space. The host was very welcoming, being readily accessible. The was a wonderful place to stay.

Great host, welcome pack, view, location, facilities, everything we could have wished for and more.

Excellent facilities in a prime position; the lovely garden backs onto the beach.

The property was warm, comfortable and well-equipped. The owner, Valerie, was very welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. We'd love to return.

Return after many years nothing has changed.

Lovely welcome from Valerie and extra treats and fresh flowers and fruit bowl. No wonder she is so booked up looked for months before finding a free week. Am returning like many others. Already booked for next march.

Another amazing stay.

Accommodation is perfect and has everything you need. Valerie is the perfect host and goodies on arrival are always very welcome

Excellent property and super location so close to the sea.

We received a warm welcome from Val , the owner.

The accommodation, a wing of Val's house, was comfortably furnished, and very well equiped.A very generous welcome pack included a large bowl of fruit; a lovely special touch. The accommodation is surrounded by beautiful gardens, & one can look out over the beach from the designated garden area. Every comfort is provided; even a Radio & TV schedule for the week. Many thanks, Val welcome pack

Thanks to the lovely weather we were able to spend a lot of time in the owner's beautiful garden.

Very relaxing. Very comfortable stay, especially the king sized bed. Very close to railway station and lovely hotel for high quality food.

The cottage was beautiful.

The scenery was amazing.Mrs .Tarry was very good host and she came to greet us.We had a wonderful time.

A very lovely holiday.

Mrs Tarry very accommodating with our late start due to a family emergency, so not the full week but still had a great time nonetheless. Very comfortable accommodation and a great base to explore the surrounding location from and such a wonderful setting. A+++++

Very welcoming by val on arrival and a very nice welcome pack.

Wonderful accommodation in beautiful surroundings had a great stay as good as it advertised would stay again lovely John and Josie

First class , gardens front and back like a trip to kew gardens, beach and surrounding area very quiet and stress free.

I found it hard to believe this was uk south coast, Cannot fault our stay and would return now if i could.

Have already visited property three times and booked for next year.

Cottage in ideal situation and very comfortable. Valerie provides welcoming treats and keeps things running smoothly.

A warm welcome, everything from the accommodation to the facilities and location like nothing else we have ever experienced.

Some experiences are so good they need to be a secret. Need I say more?

We had a lovely week.

Beautiful garden and having direct beach access. We had everything we needed and lots of extras left for us and a lovely host. We have booked for next year. I would highly recommend.

Lovely place ,with all the comforts of home , we were made very welcome by the owner Valerie who had left us a lovely welcome package .

The property had everything you needed plus more , the bed was very comfortable, the gardens were magnificent and very well kept ,so many different things to look and identify, then the bonus the gate at the bottom of the garden ,you walk through it and your on the beach ,there's the sea , we had the most relaxing holiday and would definitely recommend

Very comfortable and relaxing property.

Set in large and well established gardens, giving you beautiful views onto the beach and coastline. You have total privacy in the garden and are not overlooked, Valerie the owner is unobtrusive but more than willing to help with any questions especially regarding any of the plants

What a lovely holiday, val was a wonderful host and lots of goodies was a bonus.

Being right next to the sea was amazing and being near train station meant a car free holiday

This property has everything you need for a relaxing comfortable break.

It is ideally located for trips into Kent and to East Sussex locations of interest. Especially as the train station is just 4 minutes away which has a shop for food and drink. Also ideal for strolls along the beach, where at one end towards Bexhill there is a hotel for food and drink or in the other direction just 4mins in the car is a lovely country pub with food and drink at very good prices. The owner is extremely helpful and friendly and very welcoming. We have a Beach Hut just along the road, and it enables us to bring a car full of tools to carry out yearly maintenance, and go back to a cosy inviting property at the end of our working day.

A lovely, comfortable property.

Well equipped, with idyllic grounds and outlook to the sea. An ideal place for visiting East Sussex.

Excellent host, excellent accommodation and excellent location.

A jewel on the south coast. The owner kindly left us some lovely treats for us to enjoy whilst there. This was our second visit as we enjoyed ourselves so much last year

Lovely home, warm and comfortable, and attractively furnished.

The view is a delight, and we found the steps down to the beach very easy to navigate. The owner was friendly and helpful. Lovely garden.

The accommodation was very comfortable and it was a lovely welcome as we came through the door after a very long flight from Australia.

I would highly recommend for anyone who is looking for home comforts and there was plenty of room to put your clothes away which it is a rare find. We were really impressed to able to park our car at the front of the property which we haven't been able to do on other visits.

We had a marvellous time exploring the coast from this property.

On arrival we received a warm welcome and a box of goodies to help us settle in. Sea views and access to the beach through beautiful garden was great. Hope to be seeing you again in the future.

This is our second visit and it won’t be our last.

Everything is so lovely about this accommodation, and the owner Valerie too. You feel relaxed the minute you enter the comfortable well equipped home. Everything you could possibly need is supplied and a lovely welcome pack of goodies. Situated right on the beach; we love it.

The little extras Mrs Tarry leaves in the property were a lovely surprise.

Our third stay at this property and the high standards of comfort and cleanliness are maintained.

A lovely property with excellent facilities. Well located for Bexhill and excursions further afield.

A very comfortable property in a great location.

Val is a very generous host providing, as others have said, many extras. I happened to mention that it was my husband's birthday on the day we arrived and she kindly left him a card and some chocolates. Five star treatment! We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a few early evenings in the garden overlooking the sea in the sunshine. Cooden Beach station is only a few minutes walk away with easy access to many places of interest along the south coast. We did trips to Eastbourne, Bexhill and Hastings. We had a lovely relaxing time and would certainly consider returning. Thank you!

A fantastic Annexe of the owners property.

Amazing gardens with steps down to the beach .we loved just sitting in the garden with lovely views.Perfect for visiting the surrounding area by car or train .The train station is a 2 minute walk away.Val was very accommodating and a lovely lady .would definitely go back .

We were extremely impressed by the beautiful cottage and gardens.

The living accommodation was spacious, attractive and comfortable. The owner was very welcoming and generous with many unexpected extras. The kitchen was fully equipped and a comprehensive folder gave instructions on how to use the appliances. Information about places to visit and suggestions for eating out was also available. The beautiful garden, with access to the beach, was a joy to relax in and the patio made a lovely additional place to take tea! Overall, Hebrand House is a perfect self-catering cottage.

The house is surrounded by a superb garden created by the owner over many years.

There are lovely hydrangeas, yuccas, shrubs, palm trees all suited to the coastal climate, surrounding stripped lawns. Alcoves catch the sun and provide shelter from the wind The entrance to the accommodation is through an arch way of sweet peas. We were welcomed by the owner to what is like entering a spacious and light suite of a five-star hotel. It is furnished to a high standard and decorated in an attractive maritime theme. In addition, there is a welcoming bowel of fruit as well as thick marmalade, coffee and tea. Wonderful. We have booked for next year.

Herbrand House is wonderful place for a holiday on the South Coast.

The property is well appointed and very comfortable and the location is stunning with access to the host Valerie's gorgeous garden running down (through a private gate) onto the beach. There is plenty to do and enjoy in Bexhill and proximity to the train station and coastal path enable easy travel up and down the coast from Eastbourne to Hastings.

Our second visit to Herbrand House and have already booked our third.

I think that says it all. The cottage is cosy and comfortable and well equipped. Valerie’s welcome packs are thoughtful and much appreciated. The garden is so beautiful. We so enjoyed our evening strolls on the beach from the direct garden access. Thank you Valerie.

This was our second holiday at Herbrand house, and we enjoyed our stay immensely, a very thoughtful welcome pack provided by Mrs Tarry very much appreciated, beautiful cottage, well maintained beautiful gardens with direct access to a lovely beach, if you want a relaxing holiday with peace and quiet this is the perfect place for you.

We will definitely be returning again next year, can’t wait.

Sykes cottages describe this holiday let as a ‘little gem’ but it is quite spacious.

We have just returned from our 3rd visit to Herbrand House and really enjoyed our stay. Val’s welcome packs are legendary! We were lucky to experience very good weather which allowed to visit many local attractions and spend time relaxing in Val’s beautiful garden. We can recommend the walk from Cooden Beach to Bexhill using the lower causeway hugging the shoreline.

Thank you Valerie for another relaxing stay at Herbrand House.

Wonderful views from your immaculate garden out to sea plus a gate at the bottom of your garden onto the beach. Goodies were welcomed as usual and have already booked again for next year.

The best cottage we have stayed in.

Clean spacious light and bright comfortable everything we needed including the treats that were left. Lovely garden and good views. Valerie was an excellent host lovely lady and it was a shame she was not well.

Excellent location.

We have been disappointed with some cottages rentals but not this one, it was excellent. It ticked all the boxes.

Property was spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped with unexpected but appreciated extra provisions.

Lovely gardens and tranquil setting. Highly recommend.

This was our second time at this property, and we have rebooked for next year.

It’s everything we could wish for and it feels like home from home. Cannot fault it.

The property has everything you would expect and much more besides.

It is comfortable, well decorated and the gardens and parking facilities are excellent. We particularly liked the short walk to the train station and travelled to six different locations in Sussex and Kent . We didn’t use the car at all. A lovely holiday home.

Very comfortable and well maintained cottage.

We loved everything about our wonderful stay. We felt so relaxed and enjoyed all the little extras that were provided by Valerie. We were in walking distance of the train station which was ideal for us to visit Hastings, Rye and Eastbourne. We would love to come back one Summer. Highly recommended

Another amazing stay at Herbrand.

Everything has been thought off in this beautiful accommodation which is in a perfect location. The welcome pack with essentials is very much appreciated. We have already booked again

Lovely bright cottage which was very warm and cosy.

We really enjoyed our stay and have booked again for next year

A comfortable, cosy, well equipped cottage in an ideal location.

Cottage and garden so well cared for. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Looking forward to our next visit.

As ever no complaints, wonderful peaceful stay a very high standard.

the property was everything that we asked for and more.

The view of the sea was amazing and although the weather was very wet and windy we could see how nice the garden would be in the sunshine.Valerie was lovely and very welcoming and we really appreciated the amount of goodies plus all the information pack that she left for us.Overall Herbrand House is a fantastic place and well worth a visit.

The cottage and grounds are beautiful, from the first moment arriving on the drive.

Valerie was there to greet me and show me around, she had very kindly left a fruit bowl and welcome hamper, including milk for my first cuppa. The cottage is perfect, very clean, fully equipped and centrally heated and in a beautiful location on the coast, with direct access to the pebble beach. The gardens are just lovely, even in the rain in November. I was on my own for part of my stay and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It's a very relaxing place to stay. There is a well stocked shop at the nearby station, it's just a 2 minute walk to the cottage from Cooden Beach station, great if you're not driving. It's a lovely walk along the promenade into Bexhill on Sea. I would highly recommend and would love to return. Thank you Valerie.

Had a wonderful stay.

Weather was surprisingly good! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a beach holiday. Couldn’t get any nearer. Garden is lovely with sea review. Valerie very helpful. Lovely relaxing time. Thank you.

An excellent stay.

Everything you needed for your stay was provided. Loved the extra touches of flowers, fresh fruit and bread etc. A lot of thought has gone into providing a first class experience. The owner is on hand and remembered us from our first stay several years ago which made us feel really valued. We have already booked again

The property was of an excellent standard in terms of comfort and facilities.

The property owner was on hand to welcome us and keen to ensure that we had the best possible experience during our stay. Full marks for property, location and helpfulness of owner.

We had a wonderful stay at Herbrand House.

The property has everything you need for comfortable and relaxing stay. The icing on the cake is the gate at the bottom of the garden giving you access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would happily recommend the property to others.

A lovely retreat with everything provided and thoughtful touches.

Very clean and well appointed. Valerie is very helpful and supportive. The beach is at the end of the garden with lovely swimming. We look forward to returning.

We had such a relaxing week here the property is lovely.

Beautiful maintained garden with access to the beach. My husband enjoyed his fishing. The interior is all on one level the rooms are decorated to a high standard. We did appreciate all the little extras that the owner had left for us, even a high tide chart. We were 3mins from Cooden Beach station and had day trips to Eastbourne & the Ashford Outlets. We drove from the property to Bexhill 6 mins away and Hastings17 mins. I am glad we chose this property one of the nicest we have stayed in.

Herbrand House is the perfect getaway to unwind and relax.

Lovely property, superb garden with stunning views out to sea. Massive thank you to Heather (standing in for Valerie) for making us so welcome. Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back Ruth and Brian

We had a lovely much-needed rest in this wonderful accommodation.

Everything is provided, including some unexpected extras, but the star is the garden where we would sit and read before taking a short walk down to the beach. We could not have more pleased and have returned home feeling so refreshed.

This was our third stay and once again Val made us so welcome.

Her garden is so beautiful and peaceful, it is a joy to spend sunny days there. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us this year but we enjoyed the comfortable surroundings of the apartment.

We were very impressed with Herbrand House holiday cottage, Mrs Tarry was very helpful on arrival at the cottage.

The cottage has a beautiful garden which leads down on to the beach. The cottage itself is beautiful with everything you need included, it’s situated in a very quiet area of Bexhill-On-Sea. We enjoyed our holiday stay & we are going to book again next year.

We had a wonderful week at Herbrand House.

The property and gardens are perfect, we appreciated all of the thoughtful touches which made our holiday peaceful, restful and thoroughly enjoyable. We loved our walks and runs along the promenade and our visits to Bexhill on Sea. We had a great time exploring Eastbourne, Pevensey, Rye, Battle and Beachy Head. We look forward to our next visit to Herbrand House.

Extremely comfy property, with wonderful gardens & access to the beach.

Peaceful & relaxing sounds of the sea! Valerie, the owner, was very welcoming & all the personal little extras she so thoughtfully provides, deserves 5*

Our second visit to this property and have already booked again for next year, which speaks for itself.

Annexe to main house, set in peaceful grounds with lovely views out to sea. If you are a gardener or love visiting gardening centers then you will not be disappointed.

Yet again another wonderfull week at Herbrand house it was lovely to see Valerie and Jack the cat again, the gardens are in top notch condition we had lovely deckchairs to lounge around in the wall to wall sunshine that we were lucky enough to have,that was our 2nd visit and we book our next one there for June 2024, Wishing all the people going to stay with Valerie the very best of holidays and the lovely weather that we had Maureen and Bob from Five Oak Green Kent

Excellent welcome pack and really friendly welcome from Val, the owner, herself.

Beautifully maintained garden and property. Lovely view and access to the beach. Great location near to the station. Well stocked shop at the station. Lovely walks from the property with loads of information provided by Val. What a super place!

Lovely, comfortable and so peaceful.

Enjoyed the beautiful gardens with beach access. The owner Valerie very welcoming. Everything you need for a restful break.

This lovely independent annexe to the owners property was ideal for us.

Beautifully presented and spotless. The host was friendly and very welcoming. A generous welcome pack, lovely location with easy access to the East and West Sussex coast by train or car. The owners gardens are amazing, having spent years planting and maintaining a Mediterranean theme. We have already booked our week there for 2024.

Our second stay and we hope to return.

Valerie is the perfect host , welcoming but never intrusive. The annex is clean, comfortable and well furnished with great attention to detail. Valerie provides a great welcome pack with many extras. The annex is in her beautifully maintained garden with direct access to the beach. A relaxing and enjoyable place to stay.

Lovely property in a beautiful setting.

A friendly greeting when we arrived and Valerie had proved a very generous welcome pack. We had a very peaceful and restorative stay. This property has certainly put my faith back in self catering- we have had some really bad experiences, this was fabulous. Clean with nice furnishings and linen. Would really recommend.

Beautifully furnished and very comfortable apartment, complete with everything for a most enjoyable stay.

A very warm welcome was given, and there were many extra touches which were very much appreciated.

This is a lovely holiday home with a beautiful outlook over the sea and beach with its own private access.

It was spotlessly clean and the host was very kind in leaving some much appreciated goodies for us! The village is quiet and unassuming but there are many places to visit in the local vicinity - we had a fabulous week!

We have had a very enjoyable week staying in this very clean comfortable home.

The owner Valerie has thought of everything you could possibly need and provides a lovely welcome pack. The location is fabulous with such a fantastic outlook and garden. A great place to stay and relax, and for visiting the surrounding area. What’s not to like. 10/10 We would highly recommend.

Good location with first class accommodation.

The welcome pack was extremely comprehensive. Owner very friendly but not intrusive. Provided local information about attractions in the area.

A lovely property attached to the owner's home, set in a fantastic plot with direct access to the beach.

The property was easy to find. Parking was available on a drive right in front of the property and it was an easy 5-minute, level walk to Cooden Beach railway station. The owner, Valerie, was really helpful and provided a lovely welcome pack. If we come back to this area again, Herbrand House will definitely be our first choice.

This is probably the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Everything (apart from clothing) is provided, can just walk in and enjoy! Thank you to the lovely host, Valerie, for being so welcoming and for the goodies for us to eat. The weather was pretty bad at times, but we were more than happy to sit and watch the rough sea at the bottom of the garden and were very comfortable and cosy. Would recommend. Sadly, we will not be able to return as the purpose of our holiday was to pick up our new dog at end of week, otherwise we’d be booking again now!

Lovely Cottage in a great location, cleaned and maintained to a very high standard.

A warm welcome from the owner Valerie, who is the font of knowledge in where to go in the area, and a wonderful welcome pack on our arrival. Beautiful gardens that, via a few steps, lead onto the beach. As we arrived in December, we were, during the second week, curtailed by the weather a couple of days, but, the cottage was warm and cosy and we were pleased with the rest and relaxing kickback. Plenty to see and visit and in warmer times would be the perfect location for a staycation. Can’t praise high enough as the Cottage was so well equipped we wanted for nothing, would return in a heartbeat.

Wonderfull cottage directly at the seaside.

A place to come back!

What an amazing cottage, Valerie our host was so welcoming.

The accommodation is second to none, comfortable and every thing you want to make your holiday enjoyable. The views are spectacular, and Valerie's garden is beautiful. We would certainly return, and recommend to our family and friends. Many thanks Nigel and Linda from Brixham.

We would give this property a higher rating if we could as it is one of the nicest, cleanest properties we have been to.

There is every thing you would need for your stay and Valerie is the perfect host.

We would like to thank the owner for the marvelous accommodation, the care and consideration that is shown to the guests, we had an exceptional time, nothing was too much trouble.

We certainly would return and have no hesitation in recommending it. An absolutely wonderful place to stay.

Wasn`t our first stay and won`t be the last.

Lovely comfortable, spacious, with everything you could need plus a lovely welcome pack as a bonus. Can highly recommend.

Great location, our 3rd visit and loved it just as much as before.

The sound of the sea, a beautiful garden and a lovely host in Valerie. Hope to return soon. Dave and Kath.

Very comfortable beautiful garden well positioned will be back.

I could not recommend this property more, beautiful accommodation with stunning views.

The owner could not have been more helpful and has thought of everything that is needed, even down to a bottle of milk to make a much needed cup of tea after our long journey. You will not be disappointed staying at Hebrand House, we highly recommend this property.

Our 6th visit to Herbrand House speaks for itself and it still has the wow factor every time.

.. This property is immaculate, beautifully furnished, with everything you need. Attention to detail and with a super welcome pack and the most lovely host. Valerie has got everything right! Thank you for another great holiday with its spectacular gardens and incredible sea view.

A wonderful 2 week stay, the weather was sunny every day and Valerie made us so welcome - from loungers placed in the garden every day to the amazing welcome basket of goodies on our arrival.

Such a relaxing time and half way through our holiday we went online and booked another 2 week stay next year. Can't wait!

This was our second visit to this property.

A real little gem. The owner is wonderful and the welcome pack goes above and beyond. Attention to detail is great with everything you need to enjoy your holiday. The gardens at the property are really beautiful and you are allowed your own section to enjoy with views of the beach and sea. Some wonderful afternoons were spent reading and enjoying the views.The train station is close to the property which is great if you want to travel further afield, but not too close to disturb your tranquility. This is a great base from which to explore the area. There is plenty to do and something for everybody. We self catered most of the time and there was everything you need in the well equipped kitchen area. There are places around to eat out if you prefer. Very comfortable beds, quality bedding and the peace and quiet make for very restful nights sleep. We would definately recommend this holiday let to both family and friends. The host does everything she can to ensure you enjoy your stay. We will certainly be returning in the future.

If you enjoy sitting in a lavish garden looking directly out to sea with steps down to the beach, then this is for you.

Everything that you would need is supplied in the very well laid out and coordinated annex. Valerie ( a lovely lady) the owner, whilst living in the main house is totally unobtrusive but on hand for any questions or advice. Bexhill-on-Sea is a lovely area with plenty of areas around to visit, cycle or walk to. Have already recommend to family and friends and if we could it would have been greater than 5 stars.

We love Herbrand House.

it is our favourite holiday place to stay over the years we have stayed in various cottages and none are as stunning as Herbrand . which is the reason we return every summer and will do so next year..Valery is very kind and thoutful and she has the most wonderful gardens. . .

Val is the perfect host, we arrived to a warm welcome and lots of extras including a delicious bowl of fruit.

She really does go the extra mile to provide everything you are likely to need and is always available although never intrusive. The annex is spacious, light, airy and comfortable and nicely furnished. The beds are comfortable with quality linens. The gardens are delightful and the position amazing, right by the beach. The train station is a couple of minutes walk and very handy for getting about if you don't wish to drive everywhere. There is a shop in the station which is handy for basics. We cant wait to return .

The cottage was excellent.

It was very comfortable and the owner kindly provided a welcome pack. The cottage has excellent parking, and a wonderful garden which leads directly onto the beach. A railway way station is very near offering a great way to explore the local area. We would love to return in future.

This was our 2nd stay at Herbrand House and we are pleased to say that the high standard continues.

The cottage is very clean and comfortable with excellent gardens and good off road parking. Located adjacent to the beach it has a perfect outlook. There is also a very nice welcome pack supplied which was much appreciated. We would have no hesitation to return in the future.

Fabulous, a haven of tranquility.

We absolutely loved it, all the little extras provided by Valerie were most welcome. Everything you could possibly need was provided. The property was spotlessly clean, we will be back later in the year. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. R/J Kent

A comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean property set in beautiful gardens and backing on to the beach at Cooden.

The owner was very welcoming and keen to ensure that holiday makers have the best possible experience. Great location with lots of options for trips out to explore the Sussex countryside and coast. Nice walk into Bexhill, and nearby Cooden Station gives options for travelling by train to Eastbourne and other locations.

Access to the beach at the end of the garden was the highlight of our stay - we enjoyed walks, picnics & watching the sunset, and at night listening to the sea from our bedroom windows! id recommend it highly and cant wait to book a return visit.

Thank you once again, Valerie.

We've had a wonderfully relaxing Christmas at Herbrand House.

We had a wonderful few days in a warm, comfortable cottage.

Perfect setting, perfect host. Own parking space. An amazing welcome pack on arrival. It was so nice to walk out of the gate at the bottom of the garden, straight onto the beach.

Beautiful property in a lovely location with garden backing onto beach.

2 minutes from station with trains to Hastings, Eastbourne Bexhill and Rye. Highly recommend.

A wonderful ‘home from home’

Perfect holiday, lovely host, very informative.

Exactly like the brochure details, definitely worth 5 stars. Would recommend to family and friends will return when in the area again.

Another gorgeous week at Herbrand House - lovely flat, gorgeous gardens to relax in and a perfect location for the beach and the rest of the coast.

Excellent holiday home - extremely comfortable and equipped with everything I needed.

Plus the kindness of Val supplying welcome goodies, including a large fruit bowl and her home-made shortcake! It was a treat to be able to sit in such a special garden overlooking the sea. Very handy for the station for trips along the coast for those who don't always want to drive.

Herbrand House is 5 star +++ !

Valerie is wonderful giving a personal greeting on arrival, with lots of treats waiting in her beautifully decorated, clean and well equipped property... we have now stayed 5 years in a row and always marvel at the sea views and stunning gardens. It would be hard to find a holiday that could beat this one! Thank you Valerie for everything....

Cottage is literally, not even a stones throw from the beach, as cottage is actually on the beach, down some steps and you're there.

Downside was the yucky clay you had to get past before enjoying the water at low tide. Lots of places to visit, lots of leaflets in cottage to browse through. NT places abound. We had a lovely walk to Bexhill-on-Sea, visited Hastings, Rye, Eastbourne, Newhaven and of course most NT places. Cottage was a great base, and to come back each evening and relax with a drink and watch the view was idyllic.

June’21 Our second visit to this delightful holiday home in a wonderful setting.

Enjoyed a relaxing week away from our busy lives and although weather wasn't as good as we hoped we still had a lovely time .

Accommodation was so comfy & welcome tray and fruit from Valerie were a lovely touch. Beautiful garden and so close to the beach. Hope to go back and fingers crossed for sunshine next time.

What a lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings hosted by a really lovely lady who ensured we had a fabulous holiday.

The accommodation was excellent, Valerie's gardens were beautiful, the surrounding area was interesting to explore and we would have stayed all summer if we could have! We will be back!

The accommodation was really lovely and the garden and views amazing.

Valerie the owner is such a kind lovely lady and always to help with anything. We have stayed in a lot of nice places but this was by far the best ever..it was so peaceful and the bowl of fresh fruit and flowers was a lovely surprise, would definitely go again.

An amazing one week stay!

The annexe is beautifully maintained and everything possible provided for your use and comfort. We spent most days in the beautiful, sunny garden sitting looking out over the beach, absolutely stress free. We know the area well and didn't feel the need to venture far. Looking forward to a 2 week stay next year!

We loved our stay at Herbrand House.

The accommodation is second to none, tastefully decorated extremely clean and well maintained offering every comfort. Access to the beautiful garden with views of the beach and sea is the cherry on the cake. This property couldn't be in a nicer spot away from it all yet within easy access to all that Sussex and Kent has to offer, what more could you want. We were very taken by the welcoming touches left by the owner, a beautiful vase of roses and huge bowl of fruit as well has home made biscuits and basics to keep us going. The owner obviously takes great pride in what she does and it definitely shows. This place is a little gem and we will definitely be back. Highly recommended.

I have had many self catering holidays but Herbrand House has come to the top of my list for a return visit.

The accommodation is very good and very clean, as it should be but sometimes is a disappointment. I would recommend Herbrand House to anyone.

Herbrand House - Exceeded Expectations.

Fully deserves its 5 star rating. Everything was excellent. There was a warm welcome from Valerie, comfortable and clean accommodation with excellent facilities and a lovely welcome package. We especially enjoyed sitting on the sheltered patio with its outlook through the garden to the sea. Sykes - Failed to Meet Expectations. In April 2021 we were given no option but to rebook our holiday, at increased cost, due to COVID travel ban. Sykes later revised its policy on refunds but this option was not offered to those that had already rebooked. In April 2021 we had to take holiday. No other option was offered! This despite many COVID restrictions still being in place, meaning that things that one would reasonably expect to enjoy when on holiday were not available, eg indoor dining, indoor attractions, entertainment etc. and we had to prebook visits to most outdoor attractions that we would normally visit on an ad hoc basis dependant on our mood and the weather. In our view Sykes is out of line with other companies in this sector and we will not be using them again unless their policies are clearly changed to give fairer options to all customers. Thanks for listening.

A holiday at Herbrand House is a joy.

Following a period of "lock down" the comfort and peace offered by an escape to this location was greatly appreciated. We received a very warm welcome from Valerie, the owner, who left the apartment well provisioned with fresh fruit, flowers, bread, biscuits and sundry other items all of which ensured that we settled in speedily and with ease. The apartment is beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. A good supply of reading materials is provided both fictional and factual. As keen walkers, we particularly enjoyed the book of walks recommended for the area and used it each day. Additionally, Valerie was often on hand to offer advice on locations of interest which are worthy of a visit. The garden at Herbrand, through which the beach may be accessed, is superb. In mid April it is lovely and we imagine that in high summer it will be glorious. Whether a keen gardener, or someone simply seeking a place to sit and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine, it adds a special element to the holiday. Although the temperature in the evenings, during our visit, did not allow for outdoor dining, we will retain, with pleasure the memory of sitting in a sheltered and cosy seating area overlooking the sea, enjoying our morning coffee in the glorious Sussex sunshine. We often book holiday accommodation via Sykes Cottages and in our opinion this is one of the best.

Lovely apartment, self contained annex to stylish 1920’s house on beach 2 miles along the coast from Bexhill.

Beautiful garden surrounds the house, the pride and joy of owner, Valerie, who could not be more helpful and thoughtful. In good weather, this would be a spectacular place to stay. In bad weather, it’s still much better than staying at home! So much of interest in the area. eg. Hastings, Bexhill, Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne, Rye (all accessible by train from station 5 mins walk from property!). Cuckmere Haven and the Seven Sisters, Alfriston, Charleston, Batemans, the Downs.... endless really.

Stunning gardens that roll down to the beach.

Fantastic view of the garden and sea. The kitchen is a really good size. Excellent food 3 min walk away.

Beautiful cottage in a ideal location with access to the beach at the bottom of the garden.

Station and eating place at the hotel within easy reach. Ideal for exploring the beautiful countryside and many places of interest.

This property more than lived up to our expectations 5***** in every respect

Herbrand house exceeded our expectations.

We went in October and the gardens were still in bloom and the cottage was immaculate together with a lovely welcome bowl of fruit and general extras. Valerie was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We made use of the easy access to the station and visited Eastbourne and Hastings with no trouble. A great week and hope to visit again.Definitely worthy of her 5 Star rating.

We have visited Herbrand House for 4 years now and every time we are in awe of this holiday home.

Valerie has got everything so right. There’s always a warm welcome and a lovely selection of goodies not forgetting how well equipped and clean everything is. The view and gardens are exceptional. Ideally situated with lots to see and do if you want to explore. Would highly recommend and we will be returning next year! Thank you again Valerie!

Herbrand House is just a wonderful place to stay.

Valerie is a great host and we loved sitting in her gorgeous garden with it's views out over the beach. We swam in the sea every day (we even saw a seal on our final day!), cycled up and down the coast, and went for walks in the national park around Seven Sisters.

We had a great week at this lovely holiday annexe right by the sea in Cooden.

Valerie our host was very welcoming and left us so many treats, homemade biscuits, a bowl of fruit, flowers and a starter pack of milk, bread, coffee tea etc. The garden is beautiful and our own access to the beach perfect!! The house is cosy, clean and well stocked with crockery and cooking utensils. Couldn’t fault it.

Herbrand House is a fabulous place to stay.

Beautifully decorated in seaside colours,spacious,spotless and comfy. .Its position is incredible being located right on the beach.With your own access straight onto the beach and own part of the owners garden .Just wonderful. Val is so lovely and really helpful.She keeps her garden beautiful so her guests can have a wonder around and enjoy it . This was own second stay at Herbrand House , we will definately be going again .Thanks Val for another lovely stay . Jacqui and Tony.

Just spent a wonderful week in this immaculate accommodation where the charming owner has thought of everything.

Set in glorious gardens overlooking quiet beach - the perfect holiday home!

The standard of accommodation was excellent, warm, comfortable, and just as expected our host was very helpful.

THIS IS THE BEST HOLIDAY LET WE HAVE EVER USED.

THE WARM FRIENDLY GREETING FROM VALERIE AND SOME LOVELY TREATS, WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN,COMFORTABLE BED,LOVELY GARDEN (EVEN IN FEBRUARY) WITH SEA VIEW. THE ESSENTIALS IN PLACE LIKE HAND SOAP,EXTRA TOILET ROLLS,SHOWER GEL ETC SHOWS THE EXTRA ATTENTION GIVEN TO DETAIL FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE GUESTS.

Really enjoyed our breakaway.

Valerie was very accommodating, with thoughtful extras in our welcome pack...bread, milk, tea, coffee, fruit, mince pies, and prosecco for new year! The cottage was clean, fresh, and welcoming, super location, just a few steps down to the beach. The garden was lovely, even in the middle of a very wet winter.....and listening to the waves at night was very relaxing

We had a lovely stay at Herbrand House (despite the weather!

) The host was extremely helpful and the cottage was well equipped and comfortable with a fantastic location on the beach but also next to a train station to connect you back and forth along the coast.

Third visit to Herbrand House.

Very comfortable and near many amenities. We used the train to travel on a few occasions which is handily up the road.

The whole place was superb, well decorated with excellent colour co-ordination of seaside theme,and superbly equipped.

The owner offered a wonderful warm welcome and had provided essentials such as milk, bread and hot drinks, and even a basket of fruit, as we were arriving late on a Sunday evening. Even an electrical socket adaptor of overseas people was already set up.The gardens and sea views were spectacular, with free access to both front and rear areas and the beach. We were there in a cold wet November, but it must be heavenly in the Summer time. She had also supplied plenty of books, games, jigsaws and CDs. The local hotel was just 3 minutes walk and offered excellent food, and the town centre was a 5 minute car ride. All in All this was an EXCELLENT find, and even worthy of a 6 star rating if it existed.

The cottage was amazing and in a prime location.

Certainly deserves its 5 star rating. Valerie had thought of everything . No wonder it is booked for next year so early

This accommodation is a really lovely comfortable place.

Valerie generously provided us with an ample bowl of fresh fruit and delicious home-made biscuits. A truly great place to spend a relaxing holiday. Very convenient for the trains too.

Herbrand House is the perfect place for a holiday.

So much care and thought has gone into making this a real home from home. We look forward to more visits in the future.

Val was the perfect host.

She met us and told us about the unit and then left us on our own for the rest of the week. The apartment is very tastefully furnished and decorated with all the amenities except a dishwasher which isn't really necessary. It's very quiet at night except on Bank Holiday Sunday when all the fireworks went off at 10pm. We looked at the guest comment book and Val has wonderful comments and has back-back bookings she must be doing something right. The garden and the beach are fantastic. .

We had a lovely time during our stay in Herbrand House The cottage is in the perfect location if you want to explore the area by car/train or relax and enjoy the fabulous garden and sea views We are already planning our next holiday there

Wow .

What a fabulous place . Valeria the owner is wonderful ,met us on arrival and showed us around our accommodation. A very big wow ! With our own part of the lovely garden and direct access to the beach . Location is perfect for visiting other areas by car or by train. The train station is 3 minutes away . There are not enough superlatives to describe this wonderful place . We were sad to be leaving . We would recommend to anyone .

Herbrand House is our favourite cottage having now stayed for three years running.

Hopefully we will return next year. It has lovely views over the sea, and surrounded by Valerie's absolutely stunning gardens. Would definitely recomend to anyone looking to book a comfortable cottage for two.

Stunning location.

Wonderful welcome from Valerie with homemade produce and fruit. The garden is a fabulous place to relax. The property was immaculate. So many things to do in the area. The best property we have ever stayed in. Kate and Steve

Wonderful from the first moment, a warm welcome, fresh fruit basket and homemade biscuits was a lovely touch.

Extremely clean, well equipped and a very comfortable bed. So enjoyed the beautiful garden with its direct access down to the beach........Perfect !!!

Warm, friendly welcome.

Lots of special treats. Beautiful, clean well cared for property in an excellent position

Valerie, the property's kind and thoughtful owner, met us on arrival and showed us round the lovely cottage which is light, spacious, spotlessly clean and well appointed.

We felt at home straight away. The sea views, the proximity to the beach and the beautiful garden all add to the overall ambiance.

the welome from val could not have been better, we where delighted with our welcome pack, delicious biscuits and fruit ,would recommend this property with it's beautiful gardens.

Accuracy of listing got less than top marks because there were beach towels, coffee, fruit, freedom of garden, etc.

provided "EXTRA" to description on webb site. Every aspect, including our hostess was, for us, a lovely experience.

We have so enjoyed Herbrand Cottage that this was our third stay.

We are repeat visitors and would recommend it to anyone.

This is a lovely cottage, in a perfect position.

Very clean and well equipped with everything you need.Val was very welcoming and a nice surprise having the essentials left for us such as milk and bread also little things such as home made biscuits and jam . The gardens are beautiful .Very handy having train station nearby as easy to get to Eastbourne , Hastings etc. Will definitely return

We enjoyed the location of the cottage which is directly at the Cooden Beach.

We also enjoyed the beautiful garden and the very comfortable rooms with nice decorations and furnitures. Mrs. Tarry, the owner of the cottage, was very friendly and welcoming.

For location and comfort probably the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in.

Can quite understand why so many weeks have already been booked for next year.

I enjoyed the location the house was perfect so was the host a lovely caring nice lady would love to visit again x

Excellent place to spend a relaxing holiday.

Everything provided with treats as well. Highly recommend. Look forward to going again next year.

Val is a very thoughtful but never intrusive host, providing many extras which one could not normally expect, including homemade shortbread and marmalade - delicious.

This is a perfect spot for a peaceful and relaxing break sitting in Val's lovely garden with a wonderful panorama of the sea.

The cottage was very well equipped with a lovely welcoming basket of homemade biscuits, tea, coffee, bread and milk in the fridge.

Plus a large bowl of fresh fruit. Brilliant. It was in a great location with fantastic views and Val our host was extremely friendly without being intrusive. She was also very informative about the area and helped us on a few occasions when we required help.

We rarely go back to the same holiday place more than once.

This was our third stay at Herbrand House, and that says it all! As expected the warm welcome from Valarie was the start of another excellent week here. The location, with the walk through her lovely garden to the beach is a delight, and the high quality accommodation was as we remembered. We also had good weather to enjoy visits to local towns etc that we had not visited before, like Rye and Winchelsea, and the Bexhill Museum . This property must be a jewel in Sykes crown!

The welcome that is afforded by Valerie the owner is fantastic.

Home made biscuits, marmalade, fresh coffee and bread with a lovely bowl of fruit. All this and a wonderful view of the sea and walk onto the beach. The garden is an Italianate gem, beautifully maintained and reminding us of the Villas in Ravello, Italy. We will return and thank you Valerie. A real gem.

Herbrand House is the best Sykes Cottage that we have every stayed in.

The house is finished to a high standard and is equipped with everything you will need for your holiday including lots of welcome goodies like fruit and home made biscuits provided by Valerie, the owner. The house is surrounded by wonderful gardens with direct access to the quiet beach of Bexhill. Valerie made us very welcome and provide good advice on where to visit. We would highly recommend a stay at Herbrand House.

This is the most amazing place to stay.

The accommodation is very clean and comfortable,very well appointed. Amazing gardens and each access. Val the owner is so warm and friendly and does her utmost to help you enjoy your stay This wasmysecondvisit and ai will be rebooking. Deserves top marks as a holiday home.

This is our second stay at Herbrand House, as we fell in love with it last summer.

Everything about it is perfect. and we certainly will make a return visit next year. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The garden is stunning with a fantastic view of the sea, Valerie is a great host, and very welcoming.

Herbrand House is an absolute gem.

With the owner living next door absolutely everything is taken care of. There was a basket of fruit, home made biscuits & lots of other goodies waiting for us when we arrived, freshly cut flowers from the garden & lots of other little touches to welcome us & make us feel instantly at home. There are beautiful gardens right by the sea to relax in and the facilities in the house itself are faultless. We had a superb week - I cannot recommend highly enough

This is our third time back at this apartment.

Nothing changes, still as beautiful and comfortable as ever. Valerie is a very welcoming addition, not to mention her delicious shortbread biscuits, fresh fruit, bread and milk. Wonderful

A Beautifully situated, clean and well decorated cottage, with all that you need for a lovely holiday.

Mrs Tarry (Val) welcomed us on our arrival and gave us a familiarising tour of the cottage. The welcome pack was very much appreciated and substancive, including tea, coffee, milk, bread, sugar and some lovely home made marmalade, fresh fruit also. The garden is spot on with your own sitting area on the patio and freedom to wander around the garden. access to the beach from the bottom of the garden is great. We had a wonderful week and the weather was superb. I would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to visiting again.

We would defy anyone who did not praise this holiday accommodation.

Val the owner and host was most welcoming and loved people admiring her wonderful garden. Herbrand House has everything you need for your holiday.The decor and furnishings are ideal for being beside the sea.It is well equipped and very comfortable. There is a welcome pack when you arrive of fresh fruit and homemade biscuits and milk. There are many interesting places to visit in the area by car bus and local trains and walks on the coast and the downs are a must. Herbrand House will not disappoint for your holiday by the sea.

The setting was beautiful and the owner was very friendly but not intrusive.

This accommodation is superb.

Its position is wonderful with the virtually deserted beach at the bottom of the lovely gardens. The annexe is extremely well equipped and the welcome and attention from the owner exceptional. We have stayed in many places but this is by far the best

This is the best holiday self catering we have ever stayed in.

Val Tarry the owner was there to welcome us and show us round. The place was spotless. We loved the delicate blue seaside theme which carried throughout the apartment. The beds and linen were high quality and conducive to good sleep. The bathroom was well appointed with a good size shower with seat and plenty of hot water. The highlight was the beautiful garden which stretched from a beautiful frontage of large proportions to the amazing rear garden extending right down to the beach. The gardens are planted with a never ending variety of salt hardy plants with the English channel as a backdrop. Everything was perfect, so peaceful and quiet and yet just five mins walk to the station and local shop. BexHill about 7 mins drive. We have already re booked for the summerecipient. Herbrand certainly deserves it's top star rating

Lovely cottage,fantastic location would return an time.

Herbrand cottage provided us with a unique location and superb accommodation.

The owners little touches, home made cookies and marmalade, supplies of tea, coffee and milk, combined with the beautiful sea side themed decor made our week most memorable. We have booked two further visits here and would recommend it unreservedly.

A complete relaxed weeks holiday.

And we will be booking again to see the garden in the summer .

We enjoyed the comfort & warmth of Herbrand cottage during our winter stay there.

Valerie was very welcoming on our arrival & the cottage which was like home from home to us for the time we were there. The cottage is well equipped & Valerie even supplied a basket of goodies including home made biscuits & marmalade.

This was the perfect place for us to spend our Christmas beak.

Valerie is very welcoming and takes great care with the large and small things, generously supplying many helpful extras. Beds, linen and all equipment are of high quality and the location is ideal with direct access to the beach. It you are seeking peace and comfort in South East England this is perfect.

This was an excellent property on the beach and very near a hotel with good food.

Also near Cooden Beach train station so easy access to Eastbourne, Hastings and Brighton etc. on the train. We were made very welcome by Valerie. The accommodation is excellently appointed and was very comfortable to sit and eat. Definitely worth another visit.

Had some lovely walks along the beach from the back garden.

Found the Hotel food with in ease walking distance of the4 house excellent & good value for money.

Herbrand House is by far and away the best holiday accommodation we have stayed in.

Everything about it is outstanding. Very comfortable and the gardens are absolutely stunning, with a lovely view of the sea.. We will definitely return.

Lovely property, immaculate garden welcoming host.

Five stars.

The most perfect holiday home.

A real wow on all fronts. A beautiful and immaculate home with a stunning garden and incredible location on the beach.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations.

Valerie, our host was most welcoming, EVERY detail/comfort had been considered inside the cottage, from the well stocked kitchen, very comfortable king sized bed, beautiful decor, through to the surprise reception pack including a bowl of fresh fruit, croissants, crisps, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, marmalade and homemade biscuits. There was even the daily newspaper ready for us to read. The garden was spectacular, overlooking the sea which was at the end of the garden, ( with many seating areas provided), what a stunning view to wake up to each morning! We would thoroughly recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a luxury holiday break providing peace and tranquilly. THE BEST HOLIDAY COTTAGE WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO. Thank you Valerie.

Beautiful location and welcoming and friendly owner.

Thoughtful welcome pack an added extra

The best holiday let that we have stayed in , the owner was lovely , very clean every where , outstanding views lovely garden we will go again .

I cannot fault the accommodation nor the friendly welcome of the owner and lovely welcome pack of goodies.

Everything exceeded expectations but weather could have been better! Beautiful property and gardens.

Fabulous location, warm welcome and comfortable cottage with beautiful gardens and direct access to the lovely beach.

If we holiday in that part of the country again , we would love to book Herbrand house .

We had a great time!

We have been in n many self catering holidays and this property is one of the best.

It is clean, spacious and uncluttered. The "welcome tray of necessities" was extensive and the owner very welcoming.

We couldn't fault the property.

Mrs Tarry was the perfect hostess. The entire visit was perfect. We would happily stay again.

Excellent holiday accommodation.

Tastefully decorated, very well equipped, and with a beautiful garden leading onto a quiet beach. Valerie is a very welcoming and thoughtful host.
