Annette & Jerry were excellent hosts and very welcoming. The Parlour was exceptional and very well equipped. We had a very relaxing time due largely to the comfortable bed and sofa. The décor was beautiful and tasteful. The books on arts and gardens clearly show someone who cares about your surroundings. The location was perfect for visiting family and many of the local attractions including Sheffield Park Gardens, The Cowshed at Blackboys (great for breakfast and lunch), the Cuckoo Trail and the Pink Cabbage Cafe in Heathfield, plus Tottingworth Farm Shop and Cafe. All in all a wonderful place to stay.
