We had two dogs on board and the cottage was ideal for them, with a decent well-fenced garden and good walks from the front door.

We had a lovely stay at Wren cottage, it was the perfect base for exploring Hastings at the surrounding area. Quiet, very nice garden, log burner and firewood was a lovely touch. Lou was very communicative in the run up to our stay.

Wren cottage was a lovely cosy little cottage in a country setting .We found it well equipped and spotlessly clean.We think a railing might help alongside the back entrance for somrone elderly to grab but that was a minor issue.Lou gave us some good recommendations which we followed up.Would love to return.Particularly nice having handwritten welcome

About the host

Hosted by Louisa Cameron

Host profile image
Welcome! I host Wren Cottage a coastal and country retreat and love making guests feel at home.

Years ago I fell in love with the area, I have explored all over. I can pass on lot's of personal recommendations from beautiful walks through to galleries, retro shops, tranquil beaches, RHS gardens, vineyards or great restaurants (and more!). The cottage is perfectly located for trendy Hastings & St Leonards or historical Rye.

Why they chose this property

Wren Cottage is set in a peaceful, sun-filled spot, with a garden that’s perfect for families to enjoy together. From morning coffee in the sunshine to relaxed evenings with a glass of wine while children play, it’s an easy place to unwind. The area is ideal for family adventures, with woodland and coastal walks, nearby beaches, and plenty of sun-filled spots close by. What we enjoy most is how simple it is to spend the day outdoors exploring, then return to the comfort and calm of the cottage for a relaxed evening together.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage is unique for its blend of traditional Sussex character and contemporary Scandinavian design. The bright, single-storey layout makes it ideal for families and small groups, while the cosy wood-burning stove adds a warm, relaxed feel year-round.

It’s location is also special — perfectly placed for both coastal and countryside escapes, with the 1066 Country Walk on the doorstep and the historic town of Rye and the seaside towns of Hastings and St Leonards just minutes away.
