About this property

This lovely, detached studio-style property sits in the extensive grounds of the owner’s home in the village of Ninfield near Battle. Light, bright and beautifully furnished, this self-catering holiday home provides couples with the perfect place to relax whilst still being able to enjoy the many interesting things to see and do in rural Sussex. The spacious open plan studio, accommodating the bedroom and sitting area, has lots of windows that not only allow in plenty light, but also open up the wonderful views over the well-maintained gardens and surrounding woodlands. Just outside is a well-placed bench, so why not sit a while, listen to the birdsong and let your eyes gaze across the landscape down to the distant shore? Stepping back inside, Standard Hill Cottage has a separate, well-equipped kitchen with a cosy dining area, ideal for a shared breakfast with someone special, then up a step into the large bedroom with lots of comfy seating and an electric woodburner-style stove. Plenty of wooden pieces in the studio have been created from felled trees on the owner's land, including the handy bench where you can lace up your boots before setting off across the fields towards Norman's Bay or Battle. Why not take a good walk along the footpaths that criss-cross the countryside, building up an appetite for a tasty barbecue when you get back to the cottage? Standard Hill Cottage is a romantic retreat offering a taste of rural life, a well-located touring base, and a perfect place to unwind.

Ninfield is a thriving village in the Wealden District of East Sussex, situated roughly four miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea and approximately the same distance from the historic town of Battle. To the west is Standard Hill, which is thought to be the place that William the Conqueror set down his flag or standard after the Battle of Hastings. The often explored and unexplored areas of this part of Sussex provide visitors with a fun-filled holiday at any time of year.

    We stayed during the winter, and the cottage was not occupied prior to our visit, so it was cold initially and did not warm up to a comfortable temperature for a couple of days. From then, it was generally fine, although the kitchen was cold, especially the tiled floor. I should have brought slippers. Just outside the bathroom there is a small step that is hard to see as the tile and carpet are virtually the same colour, and i nearly fell there. The settee was very soft and hard to levitate from. These are small points, by and large we enjoyed our stay, the owner was very pleasant and the price was very reasonable for this area.

    We were greeted by the owner, who was very welcoming and the cottage appeared ok on arrival. However, there were several aspects that have left us extremely disappointed with our stay: 1. We found the shower to be grubby and woodlice on the cubilcle floor - so we did not use it. 2. The settee was very low, well worn and stained on the arms. The covering blankets smelt musty. 3. The windows were difficult to open and the wooden frames are rotting away. 4.One of the electric fires had a faulty on/off button and did not work. 5. Kitchen equipment was well worn - saucepan and frying pan badly scratched - and we had to wash everything before using. 6. Woodlice, slugs and a worm were found in the kitchen, by the sink area, on the floor and back door throughout our stay. 7. Overall the property needs a good spruce up and problems raised above need addressing We felt that the description of the *cottage on your site was misleading and that on this occasion the fee we paid was excessive for this property.
