This single-storey cottage, perfect for families of all ages, is situated in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the ideal location for peace and relaxation. Located on the owners’ farm within 150 metres of the pub at Bodle Street Green, this property is the ideal family base for visiting the Herstmonceux Science Centre (3.5 miles) or Drusillas Park (12 miles) and is not far from Bedgebury Pinetum (15 miles) with its Go Ape tree top walk. For the grown-ups, Batemans and the wonderful Pashley Manor Gardens are close by. If you're feeling energetic, why not put on your walking boots and try the 1066 Walk or the Cuckmere Valley Trail? A paddle at the seaside is 7 miles away in Pevensey Bay. Alternatively, Hastings, with its award-winning pier and delightful 'old town', is 14 miles from your door.

This is a home full of rural charm. The open-plan living space is bright and airy, with lofty ceilings supported by exposed beams and wooden floors underfoot. Light floods in through dual-aspect patio doors, offering beautiful countryside views from the dining area and the comfy seating. The kitchen comes well-equipped for all your culinary needs and is finished in a farmhouse style with wooden, shaker-style units. Two equally inviting bedrooms are home to more exposed woodwork and come arranged as one double, with an en-suite shower room, and one twin. A stylish wet room completes the accommodation.

Outside, the delightful garden is backed by fields of sheep and includes an outdoor dining set and BBQ to make the most of meal times immersed in county living.

The owners of the Dairy Cottage are THE perfect hosts. On our arrival there was fresh milk, tea, coffee and cookies available. The lovely cottage has all you can dream of. We felt home from home. Most beautiful countryside, very quiet and easy to get to wonderful locations in the area of East Sussex and Kent. We'll be back!

This is a beautiful little cottage in a very quiet rural location. It was perfect for relaxation and ideally situated within easy reach of the Sussex countryside and coast. I would thoroughly recommend it and would like to return for another break as soon as the opportunity arises.
