Wonderful place with everything you need and more.
The cottage and garden room were upto the usual Rural Retreats standard on the whole but I found the carpet uncomfortable to walk on with bare feet, there were a few cobwebs around and there needs to be a handrail on all the steps in the garden. The welcome hamper and scones etc were a lovely touch. It was great to have a hot tub too.
A beautiful property. Incredible welcome basket with local produce. Just wonderful.
We had the most amazing stay and can’t rate it highly enough! Beautiful location, stunning house and the most amazing host you could wish for! Everything was so well thought out and considered, from delicious welcome baskets to fresh flowers in every room. Both the cottage and garden room were immaculate clean and tidy and had everything you could possibly need. The Booking process was easy and the host was beyond helpful with everything we needed. We cannot wait to come back and stay again! Highly recommend!
Outstanding in every way……5 star plus! The hosts, Liz & husband have thought of everything you could possibly need & more providing a generous hamper of delicious goodies including a beautiful home made cake along with essentials such as eggs, milk, butter, bread along with many other items. it really was such a lovely welcome & much appreciated. We stayed as a family of 6 adults & found the cottage & garden room to be very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with luxurious beds & linens located in a lovely location not too far a drive into Lewes (approx 18 mins). The addition of the hot tub for the garden room was great! My husband & I are retired hoteliers (March 2022) with 40 years experience in hospitality; this self catering property is the best we have experienced. Really can’t think of anything that could have further enhanced our stay. Thank you very much Liz & husband for a wonderful break, we all agreed we would love to plan a another trip, although I guess the weather would never be as glorious!
The cottage and garden room are beautifully decorated and well located for many local attractions. The road is very noisy particularly at commuting times.
Excellent accommodation Lovely hamper Hot tub Superb location. Fantastic holiday
Lovely luxury weekend away with friends, ideal place for walking and relaxing! We loved the hot tub!!
Very pleasant property and excellent hosting from the owners.
Both properties were beautifully presented and we loved all the extra little touches. The owners were very attentive and easy to communicate with. We would love to return.
Great cottage with lovely small garden and fantastic welcome pack. Well worth a visit.
Liz has the most incredible property and finished to an exceptionally high standard. There is nothing about this property that you’d want to change and we cannot wait to go back. Outstanding.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
