OK for what we needed, but wouldn't recommend
Plus: Lots of space, secure garden was wonderful for our dogs. Good shower. Comfy beds. Minus: The gate catch is broken, impossible to close it from the outside without reaching over. This is a £5 fix. The oven wasn’t clean. The hand held Dyson only lasted a minute or two before it went flat. Fridge shelves were dirty. This property is called the dairy, and there wasn’t even so much as a pint of milk in the fridge. The light over the hob wouldn’t stay on. The track for the vertical blind above the “back” door is coming away from the ceiling. Only one window in the lounge/kitchen that’s so high up you need to be over 6 foot tall to reach it. Neither bathroom has a shaver socket. This property sleeps four people; in the lounge is a two seater settee, and a single chair. The soundbar was woefully inadequate for the telly. The toaster was dirty. When we took down our few Christmas decorations, there was a shower of dust from the beams, so we send up re-cleaning everything we’d put on the dining table. Adding this to the oven and fridge issues, this did not feel a very clean property. All in all, having never ventured to this part of our country before, its location made it an ideal base from which we could explore Eastbourne, Brighton, Chichester and others, but it’s not a property we would want to go back to, or recommend.

We recommend that this review is read and contrasted with the 19 other reviews all 5 star. Whilst we are glad to take on board all guest comments and are commended as "responsive" in multiple reviews, we feel this review contains material inaccuracies from guests who started out with needs, requests and expectations beyond the scope of a premium holiday let offer and who write here with a plainly negative agenda.

Excellent property
We enjoyed a lovely 12 night stay at the Dairy. It is beautifully furnished with a very comfortable bed and lovely patio. We had amazing weather and enjoyed many days out cycling and visiting National Trust properties as well as the coast. It’s not walking distance to any amenities really but was very peaceful and a great base for sightseeing in a beautiful part of the country.

August family holiday
We really enjoyed our stay. The kids loved the pool, even when it wasn’t that warm. Lots to do locally and within 30-60min drive, including walking, bike rides, horse riding and National Trust properties. The property was well equipped.

Everything we needed!
Delightful property with stunning views over the Downs. The cottage was really well equipped, with lovely kitchen area, sitting room and bathrooms. Everywhere was beautifully present and clean and just right for our stay in Sussex. There was also ample parking space in the barn and on the long tarmac drive. Can’t think of anything we lacked. Antony was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The bonus was the field where we could run our 2 lively labradors before going out for the day. They were in doggy heaven. It was also great that The Dairy has an enclosed private garden, which we all enjoyed whilst we were at the property. This was a great spot for touring East Sussex. We especially enjoyed discovering the walks around Ashdown Forest (home of Winnie the Pooh). Would highly recommend The Dairy.

High Standard Property
This all ground floor property was ideal for us for whom one in the party has reduced mobility. There was plenty of circulation space and the property was always warm. The kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms comfortable. The property location was ideal within easy reach of many gardens and heritage sites. Would recommend to anyone with these interests. Although close to the A26 we were not aware of any traffic noise.

Lovely place to stay, very quiet and comfortable
This stay was made all the better with the sunshine and the swimming pool. The open fields were great for the dogs too. Kitchen lighting needs tending to and maybe a bigger fridge freezer if you cook a lot, but apart from that it ticked all our boxes . Antony and Christine were very accommodating

Spectacular property
We had a wonderful week for our family holiday (2 adults and kids 6 and 11 plus dog!) The property is beautiful, very well presented and equipped and very clean. The kids adored the swimming pool that had been put up for us and managed to get in every day even when it was a bit chilly. The safe and enclosed garden is perfect for the dog and he also loved walking in the surrounding fields. The hosts were great and we hope to be back in years to come.

Hi Hannah Thanks for taking the time to write a review, that's much appreciated. We're so glad you enjoyed - the pool, although small, it does make a difference for the kids - we're going to get a slightly bigger pool that can be up all summer for next year. Enjoy the rest of your summer. Antony

A beautiful well-presented cottage in a perfect location for exploring the south east. Very well equipped and tastefully decorated with all mod-cons. A home from home.

Thanks Neil for taking the time to write a review, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. I found out it was my daughter that locked the shed door - she thought she was being helpful! Caused untold trouble, there we are...

Very enjoyable
This lovely property has lots to like it’s decorated beautifully. we stayed with our two small dogs and the private garden was ideal. The only small disappointment was the one two seater sofa and a chair, it really needs another sofa, it does sleep four that could be a problem with the lack of seating. Having said that the two of us were very comfortable.

A Real Gem
My family has just finished our 10 week stay at The Dairy and are more than happy to say the accommodation, location and hosts have been nothing short of wonderful. The Dairy has everything we needed including a great fenced in area for our dog. The 2 bedrooms are at opposite ends which was perfect for the kid, with a great open plan kitchen living area. The walks and views are lovely, the local pubs are great and the proximity to town is just a short drive to either Tunbridge Wells or Crowborough. The hosts are extremely accommodating and very friendly. We would not hesitate in recommending this gem. Sad to go.

Excellent property in a fabulous location
Absolutely loved it here. Clean, secure garden and nearby fields which was brilliant for the dog (German Shepherd). Well equipped/comfy bed/office space - if you need to work (which unfortunately I did some of the time). Brilliant hi-tech shower. Easy to travel to some really good country parks and beaches. Hosts couldn't have been more helpful - can't wait to go back and would definately recommend.

A great place to stay - def recommend!
We stayed at the Dairy Farm for a change of scenery and chilled few days, and we were so surprised by the ease of location, closeness to amenities, the IMMACULATE cleanliness level of the property, and such warm welcome by Anthony and Christine! The property had everything we needed, including utensils for our family/child, pristine bathrooms/shower, own garden (but with access to a great hay field!), upright pool (upon request), lovely underfloor heating, etc. We cannot recommend this place enough, and will be staying here again for sure! Great for families, couples, friends staying for a retreat, everyone basically!

Fantastic accommodation for our family and dog
What a brilliant find in beautiful East Sussex. Our stay was so comfortable and the house so fresh, clean and accommodating. Ideal for our first break away with our dog as the garden is so secure and spacious. Thank you to host Antony for welcoming us and making our stay so memorable. We would definitely recommend this attractive property for exploring the area, including beautiful Ashdown Forest. Great memories made.

Großartig!
Es war großartig, eine mit sehr viel Liebe und Geschick hergerichtete Location. Neu, sauber, gemütlich. Absolute Ruhe und Entspannung, in einer tollen Umgebung. Unsere Gastfamilie war superfreundlich, unkompliziert ... einfach nette Leute. Zum Meer, nach London, zu wunderschönen Castle's oder einfach nur in die Natur? Top zentral gelegen und doch weit weg von Stress, Hektik und Lärm. Nach London, mit dem Zug nur 45Min oder mit dem Auto nach Greenwich und mit dem Wassertaxi ins Zentrum... Wir waren uns schon auf der Rückfahrt einig, dass wir wieder kommen. ...see you soon... ;0)
