Owners met us on arrival & showed us around the hut. The facilities were excellent & the hut was lovely and warm. We able to sit outside during our stay finding it very quiet and relaxing. Whilst being in the countryside it is within easy reach of Lewes, Brighton and the coast. We would definitely recommend this property.
