We had a lovely weekend away here, the owners are absolutely lovely! The gentleman greeted us, showed us around the farm, where we can let the dogs out for a run and where we could cut across the field to the local pub. A lovely, cosy little place of which we would definitely stay again!

A very quaint small country cottage with a lovely seating area that catches the sun. Andrew was very welcoming and the cake an excellent touch. Anyone tall would struggle in the bedroom area due to the pitch of the roof and the rafters! Plenty to do in the surrounding area and a lovely pub within walking distance.

A lovely well equipped cottage , hosted by the very friendly Andrew & penny thank you for the excellent flap jacks & tomatoes. As mentioned by others the stairs to the bedroom are quite steep but didn’t find them a problem. My only little niggle was the television had no connection for a fire stick so maybe an upgrade in that area . Overall excellent place to stay would definitely book here again .

This was our first experience of using cottages.

This was our first experience of using cottages.com and for our first stay Quince Cottage couldn’t have been better.Penny met us at the gate, introduced us to the cottage, gave us an invaluable brief on the surrounding area. And the homemade flapjacks were a treat!Knowing we had a nice cosy cottage to come back to at the end of our daily trips out was an absolute comfort.Thank you Penny!

This is a lovely and well presented cottage.

This is a lovely and well presented cottage. The hosts are very welcoming with even a cake left for us. The cottage is well equipped, clean and ideally located for the visiting places in Sussex, including Battle Abbey, Rye and Bodiam castle. If you are tall or do not like steep stairs then this is not for you since the bedroom is an attic mezzanine, but is very cosy. We knew this when we booked, so it was not a major problem.

Lovely, warm cottage.

Lovely, warm cottage. Compact, but with everything you need. Enclosed courtyard garden shared with cottage next door. Comfy bed and furniture. All spotlessly clean. Great to have fields accessible to walk dog direct from cottage and local pub serving food. Owners were very helpful. Only slight negative thing was pulling out onto the busy A21, but would certainly come and stay here again. Great forest walks near, beaches within driving distance and the pretty town of Battle just 5 minutes away in car. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

An absolute haven of peace and quiet.

An absolute haven of peace and quiet. I loved being woken by the sheep. Being on the A21 means it is an ideal location for touring the area. The cottage was small and cosy and had everything I could possibly have wanted. Great use of space and excellent facilities. It was absolutely spotless. The owners could not have been more welcoming. The tray of biscuits and tomatoes left for my arrival was speedily devoured! I would certainly go again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Very welcoming hosts, lovely clean accommodation.

Very welcoming hosts, lovely clean accommodation. Slight annoyance that the cottage next door also had dogs which meant ours had to be tied up all the time as the front courtyard was shared. It was extremely hot during our stay and the owner kindly lent us a fan however there didn’t appear to be a socket in the bedroom so my wife slept on the sofa. However it was only on day 3 we realised there was an extension lead plugged in under the bed which did the job. All in all however a lovely few days away and we’d recommend.

Brilliant to get away post lockdown - I've been visiting here for several years, a real home from home. Penny and Andrew, wonderful hosts as ever, have installed windows in the bedrooms, an excellent addition, making the cottage lighter and lovely to have a fresh breeze throughout the night.

Andrew & Penny were the perfect hosts - they were very welcoming and supportive throughout our stay, especially when we needed to get veterinary advice for one of our dogs at the local vets in Battle. The farm location was brilliant and so relaxing, with a short walk to the bottom of Sedlescombe village & a number of pretty woods nearby for off lead walking. The cottage is very cosy and peaceful, the bed and sofa very comfortable & the shower was spacious and powerful, which makes all the difference. We enjoyed visiting old haunts in Hastings Old Town, Bexhill, Battle, Rye & Camber, eating some fresh seafood and fish and walking on the beach. Many thanks!

Having never experienced a cottage holiday; with the dog before - we were pleasantly surprised.

Having never experienced a cottage holiday; with the dog before - we were pleasantly surprised. Can not fault our hosts; so friendly and on hand if any issues. The cottage is situated within the farm; had an enclosed courtyard which was excellent for the dog and we also be for young children. Following on the cottage came with three enclosed paddocks which were completely dog friendly which had been allocated for guests. The cottage had a warm and comfort feel, no problems with coping with a large dog / two adults - plenty of room both up and downstairs. Excellent network connections.Came away very relaxed. Would highly recommend and we are hoping to return again. Thankyou

Nice holiday cottage just off main road so there was some traffic noise.

Nice holiday cottage just off main road so there was some traffic noise. Quite steep stairs to the bedroom and limited head room because of the sloping roof/eaves also no window so I imagine it would get hot and stuffy in the summer though there was an electric fan provided. Nice walk across field to village and pub on a sunny day but as we had quite a lot of rain it became quite soggy and as the grass was long your trousers ended up getting wet too, shame there was no safe other walking route to village.

Quince cottage is a small and very clean accommodation.

Quince cottage is a small and very clean accommodation. It is well situated to access Hastings. There was a large field available for the dog to run in and it was lovely to see the chickens and give the pig a brush when we were passing! We were disappointed that there wasn't a DVD player available but not the end of the world on a two night break. Be aware that the upstairs room is in the roof and therefore quite tight for headroom!
