Clean, comfortable and well-equipped accommodation in a quiet countryside location next to fields, with a welcoming and helpful host. The village (with shop and pub) is half a mile away and there is easy access on to the main road network for Lewes (5 miles) and Sussex more generally, as well as footpaths for exploring locally, We cooked most meals at home and there was ample equipment for this. One thing to be aware of is that water from the shower can puddle across the wet room floor, can be avoided with care or a sponge mop is provided. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would return if staying in this part of the country again.

Robin and Christine made this a truly wonderful stay in a beautiful setting, in an immaculate accommodation! I would return in a heartbeat!Robin even met me at a pub to guide me to the place when I couldn't find it (my fault).I wish I had had more time to hang with them, so much fun, so interesting, so welcoming!The situation is idyllically English: a beautiful shaded garden - with peacocks! - and a pond, bordering a field with grazing sheep and the classic, green, hilly vista.On site parking - brilliant! The accommodation itself was spotless and has everything you need for a self-catering experience, if that's what you want. Tons of closet space. I could live there.A short drive to Lewes or Brighton (my places of interest) along with many others, without the traffic.I hope to be back soon :-) Thank you both!
