Half-term getaway
The property was perfect for a short break. Our daughter and partner and grandsons wanted to explore the area which we did. We visited Rye, Hastings and Camber Sands and looked around the village of Winchelsea and had a couple of meals at the local pub which serves very good food. We had a very comfortable stay. Very comfortable beds and pillows (very important). Plenty of room in lounge and dining area and well-fitted kitchen. We used the bbq which we had to wash first and handbook stated there would be coals to start us off but there weren't any there. We did have trouble finding a shop that sold them. The garden was well kept it was just a shame about the wind but no rain which was good.

A beautiful property in a wonderful location
Haveli is a beautiful cottage in a fantastic location - the wonderful village church, the shop and pub are just a few moments' walk away. It is well equipped and unusually well furnished with a number of imaginative details. The beds are extremely comfortable, though we found the dining chairs rather harsh for anyone with back pain issues. Lots more cushions in the lounge would help a lot with this. Also, beware of low door frames, especially when you first arrive. Sadly, the four of us (all adults) were only there for three nights but we would happily have stayed longer. Had it been a different time of year we would have enjoyed and made good use of the lovely garden. Special thanks to Ems and Neil for all they did to facilitate our stay.
