Property code: 46895

Embrace countryside living at this quaint and cosy cottage, which you’ll find in the heart of the Sussex village of Brede. Enjoy the surrounding High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with many footpaths and trails criss-crossing the rolling hills. With two comfortable bedrooms, the property is perfect for families or small groups of friends and one of their four-legged companions.

Peace and tranquillity await at the picket-fenced cottage. Step straight into the well-lit lounge and unwind beneath the original exposed beams beside the striking inglenook fireplace, which add olde-worlde charm to an otherwise contemporary living space. A low beam ceiling in the kitchen retains much of the cottage’s original charm too—just make sure the cook minds their head! The dog and any children will love the enclosed courtyard garden, playing while you fire up the BBQ for an al fresco dinner. Back inside, head up the cottage-style staircase to the first floor where you will find the two bedrooms: a double and a twin.

Meet the friendly locals at Brede’s delightful village pub, where you can collect fresh bread each day and even sample their delicious takeaway fish and chips. No visit to this area is complete without discovering the fascinating and beautifully restored steam water pumps at The Giants of Brede (1 mile). Head 5 miles to the coastal towns of Hastings and Rye, with beachfront amenities, independent shops and an array of dog-friendly beaches to choose from, as well as Hastings’ famous pier. Alexandra Park is also worth a visit (6.5 miles), known for its diverse wildlife, active boating lake, and flower and rose gardens.

Well appointed cottage with a number of dog walks nearby. A fairly busy road at the front in the morning and evening but this is counter-balanced by the fact that the bus stops are within yards and the service is frequent. Location is suitable for travelling to Tenterden, a pleasant town, or to Hastings, seaside. Next door is a pub which serves botRead moreh good beer and meals. An enjoyable stay for myself and my dog.

Such a pretty cottage. Low head heights so caution booking if you are tall! We loved our mini break and not only was it dog friendly there was a super cute bowl and treat waiting for our pooch on arrival. A lovely touch from the owners

Very clean and well equipped cottage. The location was very central to all the areas we wanted to visit. Lovely welcome gifts, including treats for our dog. The cottage garden was secure for our dog. Wonderful food at the Red Lion pub next door., and they allowed us to use their car park. Absolutely loved our holiday at Clare Cottage.

Clare cottage is a very comfortable well equipped property. Beams are low. I am 5ft 7in and had to bend when coming down stairs and through doors. Lovely court yard garden which is secure for your fur baby. Ideal base with plenty of places to visit.

Although a delightful property there are obvious limitations that place statutory obligation to a designated grade listed dwelling. The dwelling was obviously suited to height as it was in the previous 2 centuries. My height is ( old money ) 6 feet and 3 inches and is a no brainer ( pun not intended ) in terms of mobility. To be fair there is a heiRead moreght notice at the foot of the stairs. In terms of perspective booking it would be best practice to alert one to height restriction. Thank you. Hide
