Stunning Cottage in Outstanding Area of Natural Beauty nr Rye, Hastings & Battle

Enjoy the many sights in this beautiful area of Britain, with beaches, castles, steam railways and stunning scenery. Bookings taken for Friday to Friday (7 Nights), Friday to Monday (3 Nights) or Monday to Friday (4 Nights) 3 Nights Minimum Stay.
This lovingly restored former gamekeeper’s cottage in the owner’s grounds, built around 1850, was once part of the local estate and now residing in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning views across the Brede Valley. This cottage for all seasons has two wood-burning stoves, ideal for curling up in front of after a stroll through the Brede High Woods where you are likely to spot deer, and see the carpet of bluebells unfurl in the spring. The French doors in the dining room open on to a terrace from where you can view the garden which brims over with exotic plants. Ideally placed for visiting the renowned gardens of Great Dixter, Sissinghurst and the tulips at Pashley Manor. The area also produces great wines which can be sampled at Carr Taylor, Lamberhurst, Chapel Down in Tenterden and Biddenden. See the lovingly restored and fascinating steam engines, the ’Giants of Brede’. The market town of Battle is close by where you can walk across the famous battlefield of 1066. Visit Tenterden with its weather-boarded houses and tea shops, and see why it is called the ’Jewel in the Weald’. Take a boat trip from Newenden and explore the River Rother, or a ride on the Kent and East Sussex steam railway through the glorious countryside to Bodiam Castle. Enjoy a day on the beach at Hastings or Camber Sands. There are good rail connections to London from Battle which provide additional sightseeing opportunities in the capital. Shop 1½ miles, pub ½ mile and restaurant 1 mile.

About the host

Hosted by Ian Roberts

Host profile image
We are a British Creative Couple, One a Botanical Horticulturalist and the other a Music Agent, relocated from London to East Sussex to restore the gardens and house at Rose Cottage. The restoration took 3 and a half years and the house has hosted many happy events and memories for us both.

Why they chose this property

Rose Cottage has some of the most beautiful views and the village of Brede which the cottage is on the edge of is one of the prettiest and friendly areas in the South East of England. We looked for the perfect home for over 2 years and are so lucky to have found the cottage and gardens which needed our tender loving care. Rose Cottage has been completely restored and extended and now boasts luxurious fixtures and fittings, blending period features with modern touches, making it a home for all seasons.

What makes this property unique

The views of the surrounding countryside and the spectacular Brede Valley make the location of our home a perfect winter or summer retreat. Close to an award winning gastro pub the Red Lion and Brede High Woods, there is nothing better than relaxing in front of our wood burning stove or enjoying the spectacular sunsets on the patio, Rose Cottage is a perfect place to unwind and relax. The house is close to the historic towns of Rye and Hastings and perfect for days out at the beach at Camber , Pett Level and Hastings.
