Perfekt . Perfekt - Perfekt
Wir haben zwei Wochen im THE COTTAGE verbracht. Die Unterkunft ist absolut perfekt gepflegt, hochwertig eingerichtet und ausgestattet und wurde durch Sue und Robert liebenswürdig und liebenswert vorbereitet - inkl. einen Präsentkorb zur Begrüßung. Sue war hervorragend online erreichbar, hatte tolle Ausflugstipps und war einfach liebenswert und zuvorkommend. Die Gästemappe ist hervorragend aufgearbeitet und informativ und unterhaltsam. Hastings Old Town ist fußläufig erreichbar. In nur 2 Minuten gelangt man mit dem Hund auf einen herrlichen Waldweg und kann dann wirklich stundenlang oder auch nur für eine kurze Runde gehen. Unser RangeRover Evoque hat ohne Probleme und bequem in den Hof gepasst. Wir haben es im THE COTTAGE seht genossen und sind glücklich, zwei sehr leibenswerte Menschen als Gastgeber kennengelernt zu haben.

The Cottage
Cannot fault our stay so top marks and would definitely recommend. The hosts where so helpful and kind, they left us lovely welcome treats and flowers. The hosts also quickly resolved a minor problem we had. The cottage was clean, organised and had every utensil you could think of in the kitchen. The cottage has interesting history and is documented in the welcome pack along with plenty of useful information. The Cottage is well located to all that Hastings has to offer. The private allocated parking adds to a stress free stay. Thank you both so much Steve, Sarah, Abbie and James 🌼
