"The cottage was very well equipped and had good wifi. The surrounding area outside was very peaceful and beautiful being in the country side but still only a few minutes drive up the lane to the village. The nearby pub at the top of the lane, The Rose and Crown, is excellent.There are only two points I would make. The sofa is definitely past its sell-by-date, being hard and flat. Luckily there was another identical sofa in the living area and we put the two base cushions from that sofa on top of the ones on the other sofa making it a bit more comfortable. The bed is wonderful, being a super king size with good quality cotton bed liven.The other point to make is that directly behind the cottage on the same farm there are several artists studios. The road to these studios runs directly into the farm stabling area and immediately past our kitchen and living room windows. On one particular morning there was a fair bit of traffic coming and going, at one point with a vehicle reversing back and forth up the road past our windows whilst another had an engine running. This did distract from the peace. Later in the afternoon the traffic then departed causing more noise.Apart from those 2 points, everything was very good with a nice welcoming pack and very welcoming owners."

"The cottage was in a great location for what we wanted to do - seeing our son and family in Brighton etc (half-term). The underfloor heating in the bathroom was unexpected but very welcome. However, we did find that the heating system was either very hot or very cold - didn't seem to regulate at comfortable/medium. Only 4 plates and bowls, 1 tea towel and no serving dishes I thought was a little on the 'mean' side especially when trying to make a meal. ALSO, we had a masses of wasps which was quite worrying when our 4 year old grandson came to visit. Apparently, on speaking to the cleaner on the morning of departure the previous people had complained too but nothing seemed to have been done about them!! Advertised as having broadband but we couldn't pick up our e-mails etc which was quite frustrating as we were awaiting a couple of important ones."

"Lovely place to stay. Very clean with everything you need for your holiday. I had a bit of an accident whilst at Bewl Water and unfortunately, it did have an impact on our 3 day short break as I had to spend a day at the Conquest hospital A&E followed by an appointment at East Grinstead the following day (fractured eye socket) but Jenny (owner) was amazing and turned up with a couple of bottles of wine to soften the blow. We would definitely return to stay at S81028 as it's in a really good location for getting around and about and the owners go out of their way to make you feel welcome (toiletries, milk, biscuits, tea and coffee etc). It's only about 10 mins drive to Bodiam Castle, not far from Bewl Water (although mind the tree roots!), a short drive from Hastings and not far at all from Battle. Yes, we will definitely be returning."

"S50202 was an excellent location being right on the seafront at St Leonards. The apartment was surprisingly large, very comfortable and very well equipped. Other reviewers have mentioned damp but it certainly wasn't an issue for us. On street car parking is free but it was difficult to find a space. However, this was not a problem as we just decided to walk everywhere or parked in the public car park nearby. Carol Anne was very welcoming and left us a pint of milk so that we could have a cuppa on arrival after a long journey. Carol Anne also put fresh flowers is the rooms. In the summer, and when the scaffolding comes down I'm sure the front courtyard will be a lovely place to sit. One of the main things for us was that it was dog friendly. Some nice restaurants within walking distance."

"Having rented cottages for the past 20 years, we sadly have to be very candid with this review on Ox Cottage We feel that that this Cottage to be very tired, the ambiance was like an unkept back yard, not what we would call a holiday home. The brochure showed rolling fields, they were there but the only view from the Cottage was a desolate yard with a rusty bath and chairs and an old wooden shed.The flower troughs appeared to have been neglected or an after thought. The promise of a welcome pack was not kept, as was the first basket of logs. The heating seemed to have no occupier control.To say we were disappointed is an understatement, it spoilt our holiday, waste of money. Most people only get one holiday a year and it is so upsetting to feel let down like this."
