Definitely need a car to stay here - no bus service but short car ride (no footpath) to local farm shop/cafe which was very welcoming. 15/20 minutes drive to Pevensey. Other beaches within easy distance - mostly dog friendly.

Overall was very good, but the bed was really hard, like sleeping on a board and exiting on to the road was really nerve racking as it was on a bend and you couldn't see vehicles approaching from the right.

Great little hideaway with easy access to East Sussex
Very well presented and the owner was present on arrival to welcome us. The cottage is extremely well appointed and there was plenty of information available in the property on nearby attractions and amenities. The only slight downside for me was the mattress on the bed was a little hard, although my husband slept like a log on it, and the fridge in the kitchen was a little small but, for a short stay, it was adequate. Overall though, a lovely little cottage and we would definitely stay there again.
