A very tranquil and beautiful place to stay. We received a warm welcome and everything in the house was thoughtfully arranged and high quality. As a dog owner for many years this is the most dog friendly place we have ever stayed at. Our young spaniel was so happy with the enclosed garden and the direct access to the beautiful paddock with trees and long grasses. Sitting on the lovely terrace watching the sun set at the end of a warm day was an absolute pleasure.
Olive Tree House is such a special place and we can imagine how much your spaniel loved being there. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
It was just what we wanted in every way
Amazing amazing place! The house is stunning and every little detail has really been thought about. Everything feels luxury, the design, the towels, the shower products etc. The terrace goes around the house and is completely dog proof so we could let our 11 month old dog wonder around and know he was safe. The garden and field are huge and also dog proof! The owner, Debbie, was lovely and lives nearby so showed us where the wood was for the fire and was there to help If we needed anything. This is our favourite place we have ever stayed - cannot recommend highly enough!
Excellent accommodation in a very beautiful location. Highly recommend
What a delightfull place with a nice and friendly owner. Everything was perfect for us and our two small dogs. All the small details thought about. Can't wait to go back..
Absolutely beautiful holiday retreat, stunning location and lovely hosts. Can't wait to stay again in the not so distant future.
The property was absolutely stunning. Every little thing was considered - no expense spared. Unique and tranquil - a retreat not to be missed.
Lovely property and Debbie was a super host. The property is quiet with loads to do nearby and excellent for dogs.
We were blown away. The setting, the house itself, the attention to detail… everything was perfect. Our dog enjoyed his holiday too. Thank you for an amazing stay, we will be back x
Honestly this place is so so beautiful. So peaceful and scenic and the house itself as you can see from the pictures is so well done and luxurious. Debbie is a wonderful host and so helpful. We will 100% be coming back.
A beautiful, enchanting place to stay, with magical touches in every corner. An amazing level of thought and creativity has gone into the 'jungle theme'. Highly recommended.
What a fabulous place to stay! Wonderful attention to detail. So relaxing-a real oasis of peace.
Das Olive Tree House ist perfekt gestaltet und liebevoll eingerichtet. Dank an Debbie für den Willkommens-Korb mit lokalen Spezialitäten aus East-Sussex! Ein wundervoller Aufenthalt.
What a place to stay loved everything about this well designed crafted and furnished house ,will definitely be going back
Lovely hosts, beautiful location and accommodation. Helpful, generous and friendly people.
What a gem! We spent the most glorious week here at Olive Tree House, it was the perfect spot to celebrate our 20 years together. The cabin and the gardens are beautiful, you can really feel the love that Debbie & Tom have put into the place. It is choc full of everything you're going to need and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating; you won't want for anything. It's a fab location for exploring East Sussex and there's also plenty of walks on your doorstep if you don't fancy heading out in the car. Or even to just sit on the deck with a glass of wine enjoying the view is heaven. The kitchen is great, we had fun getting to grips with the aga. The fire is gorgeous. The bed is huge and super comfy, we slept well. The bath is lovely and the shower was fabulous! The village has a brilliant shop where we topped up on goodies a few times and they have lovely coffee too. On the Thursday night it transformed into the local pub for a night which was wonderful; it's such a nice community. One day we walked over to a neighbouring village in Upper Dicker to their Village Shop & Cafe. It was brilliant and we were thrilled to see a selection of vegan options, the vegan breakfast was cracking! We can't rave about this place enough, it's an absolute beauty. A perfect holiday home to find some peace, to relax and to recharge. Thank you Debbie & Tom for a delightful stay, we loved it and hope to return in the future. Good luck with it all, love Claire & Lew x
Olive Tree House is an absolutely stunning property. It oozes charm and character and is set in the most tranquil and beautiful setting. The owners have thought of everything and are close by should you need them. A delightful and very welcoming couple who clearly love this property which shows in the interior design. We had four days of restful bliss here and hope to return in the near future. We would highly recommend .
Such a lovely space, super cosy. Me and partner went for a romantic weekend away and Olive Tree was perfect.
