Peaceful family getaway

Had a really lovely time, very quiet but easy to get to bigger towns and coast. Beautiful conversion, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, we cooked at home most nights with no trouble at all, really enjoyed sitting in the front garden in the sunshine with a book and thank you Katie for the vineyard/cafe recommendations (Rathfinney, Alfriston) - it was the best view of the trip!

Perfect

RAS. La rénovation du cottage est parfaite. L’aménagement charmant. Bien isolé par rapport au bâtiment mitoyen. La cuisine est bien équipée. Les amateurs de café regretteront juste l’absence de machine.Pensez à prendre des provisions, il n’y a rien sur place.Les pubs locaux sont bien.La route qui mène aux cottages est très anglaise : étroite, défoncée et sinueuse, mais délicieusement verte !

Sweet property, nice area.

Sweet property, tidy, clean, nicely presented and well equipped. Hosts helpful. Did stay in a very similar property in the same area that was cheaper, but other than perhaps value for money no complaints. Would consider using again.

Great place to stay

Beautiful quiet cottage, well furnished and very kind host. What could I say more? Oh yes, it was not immediately clear where we had to be because the cottage name is not visible from the street.

Good property in lovely rural location

Enjoyed our stay in a well appointed comfortable property. Ideal if you want peace and quiet but within easy access of Eastbourne. The owners are helpful and welcoming. We would recommend it.

Beautiful, cosy, comfortable cottage

Oat Cottage had everything you could possibly want. It was very well appointed, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. The surrounding countryside was delightful and Katie was a super host. We had a wonderful time staying there.

A Beautiful Country Cottage

We really enjoyed our four night stay in this lovely cottage in the quiet countryside. Oat Cottage was just right for the three of us.It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and the kitchen was very well equipped. Katie, the Owner was very friendly and helpful. We would love to stay here again when we visit East Sussex.
