There are local vineyards offering tours and tastings locally and if you’re looking for a sandy beach, head for Camber Sands, 18 miles away, with its 7 miles of golden sands. Historic Rye with its famous cobbled streets, is a 15-mile drive and is an excellent location for some antique shopping and it also has a digital Kino cinema.

Miss Bayly
It’s a lovely cottage with a nice garden area and good location. Whilst the property has good kitchen equipment, we had to purchase our own basics such as soap, bin liners etc as these were not provided.

Quirky and comfortable. Very nice! We felt very at home. Lovely modern living in an old characterful cottage.

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. It's a characterful cottage with beams, inglenook fireplaces, brick flooring and exposed oak floorboards, but it has a modern bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was better equipped that the details implied, with a microwave and dishwasher, and a washing machine in the cloakroom. It has a big, private garden, which is lovely for al fresco dining
