Beautiful converted Oast house. Well equipped kitchen. Extra bed off the first floor living room meant that my adult children could sleep in separate rooms (in addition to the room my wife and I stayed in). Lovely plants and flowers around the house and farm. Chickens and cows galore :-). Table tennis and pool table in the barn if it is raining - which thankfully it wasn't. Charles and Truus made us very welcome (and Truus's cake was delicious :-).

An amazing stay

We had a wonderful weekend in this shepherds hut. Sam was a great host, excellent communication before the stay and when we arrived. The hut was exactly as the photos depict on the website. Once the heater had done its job, it was really cosy and warm in there despite the outside temperature. Can't fault it. Would highly recommend. Pevensey Bay/Eastbourne are well worth a visit. Geo coffee shop in the village is lovely. If you want to go to the Observatory Stargazing evenings - book in advance, it was sold out for the night we wanted.

Peaceful little cabin

Tucked away on the corner of paddocks this is a peaceful getaway. We stayed for two nights. Cabin was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfortable and warm. Lovely log burner that we only used once. Shower lovely and hot. Outside there are paddocks with two horses and two Shetlands. There is also a pig that kept us entertained with her snoring. Alpacas in the adjacent field. Breakfast is no longer included but we had brought enough with us so this wasn’t an issue. Carla the host is very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Would recommend this chilled out place.
