Guests say
Quince Cottage is a charming, well-appointed retreat praised for its welcoming hosts, cosy atmosphere, and excellent dog-friendly facilities. Guests appreciate its peaceful rural setting, proximity to local attractions, and thoughtful touches from the owners. While the mezzanine bedroom and steep stairs may not suit everyone, most found the cottage comfortable and ideal for a relaxing break. The property is particularly popular with dog owners and those seeking a base to explore the Sussex countryside.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as clean and well-maintained, with guests describing it as spotless and cosy. No significant negative comments regarding cleanliness were noted.
The location is frequently praised for its convenience to Battle, Hastings, and local attractions, as well as its peaceful rural setting and access to good walks. Some mention minor road noise, but overall feedback is very positive.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable and cosy, with a good bed and warm atmosphere. However, several noted the steep stairs and low headroom in the mezzanine bedroom, which may not suit taller guests or those with mobility issues.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with all essentials provided. Some guests mentioned limited storage space, a small fridge, and outdoor furniture needing attention, but overall facilities met expectations for a short stay.
Hosts are repeatedly praised for their warm welcomes and thoughtful gestures, such as treats for guests and dogs, and occasional homemade cakes or flapjacks. Please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Lovely cottage, excellent host. Was advertised as dog friendly and was exceptionally dog friendly. Close to Hastings, Battle and Rye. Great beaches in easy reach. Great pub 10 minute walk away.

A lovely small converted barn with your own courtyard shared with the twin conversion! Perfect for a dog friendly break, but be aware your neighbour will also probably own a dog so flexibility is needed. As the bedroom is on a mezzanine floor with a pitched roof the bed is low; we usually ask for the bed to be split into twins for easier manoeuvrability! Location is perfect to visit the towns in this area.
