The excellent local pub is a few yards away and serves food daily. It is popular due to its award-winning nature, so it is recommended to book in advance. A local coffee shop in Herstmonceux is a firm favourite with visitors and locals alike. Lovely countryside walks including the South Downs National Park and the 1066 Country Walk (which passes right by the property). Walkers are wonderfully well catered for, with the property situated on the 1066 Country Walk. Pevensey Castle is a good morning’s walk away, across Pevensey Marshes, while towards the North East, The Ash - a highly recommended pub for great food is under a 2-hour walk, through peaceful, rolling Sussex countryside.

For the past 18 years, we've had the pleasure of staying in various cottages for our Christmas holidays, in locations throughout England, Wales, and Scotland. We compared the Cosy Cow Shed with all our previous experiences. Because the hosts were also on a break and weren't home, we didn't meet until later. We're not first-time travelers and we made our own arrangements with minor imperfections. Plus points: the large kitchen/diner with all the amenities you could wish for. A lovely fireplace that made it very easy to light a fire. The local pub is within walking distance. Secure parking on the property. The location is ideal for hikers on the 1066 route. There are a few things that could make the stay even more enjoyable, but the overall experience made it a wonderful stay.

A very comfortable cottage in an ideal location for our holiday which is mainly walking to explore new places & the countryside/coast. It had all the essentials we needed to come back to after a long day walking, including a very welcoming pub 5 minutes walk away. We would recommend the cottage & may well return here in the future. Thank you Ian & Helen
