Unbridled romance and endless comfort await in this High Weald holiday home, a pet-approved retreat hosting two guests and one furry friend. Designed to an exceptional standard, this former shepherd’s cottage brims with character and offers panoramic views best enjoyed while relaxing with man’s best friend after long days of lobbing tennis balls and exploring scenic pathways. Your excitable doggo will love spotting the grazing wildlife around this working farm setting, as well as the large, lawned garden and open fields nearby, perfect for endless walkies and games of fetch.

Bright pops of colour combine with contemporary décor and traditional touches throughout this two-storey home. Let Fido happily potter between the two of you in the open-plan living space, where a rustic-meets-modern kitchen, a cosy dining area and a stylish lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows all invite you to unwind. Evenings are best spent curled up on the sofa with your faithful companion by your side, kept warm by the underfloor heating and welcoming wood burner. Outside, enjoy sunny evenings on the patio, where seating, a firepit/BBQ and a unique roll-top bath add charm and character to the space. Back indoors, a ground-floor shower room and a sumptuous king-size bedroom upstairs are ready to welcome dog-tired bodies after a day of adventure. Private parking for one car completes the property’s offering.

Head out into the wild and let your four-pawed pal lead the way through the High Weald National Park. Stretching all the way to the coast, this vast and beautiful area is filled with pet-friendly bridleways and walking trails, blending countryside and seaside in one unforgettable getaway. Explore the tree-lined paths of Brede High Woods (3.5 miles), the history-rich market town of Battle (7 miles) and the handsome town of Rye (8 miles), or venture towards Hastings (6 miles) to discover the dog-welcoming Bulverhythe Beach (7 miles).

Simply stunning property, beautifully furnished with all the creature comforts and modern amenities including dishwasher, Sky Tv and WiFi. The cottage is completely private, accessed only via a field off the country lane, perfect for an immersive retreat amongst the countryside with long views across fields. The fenced garden is ideal for dogs. JRead moreust a short distance to Hastings, Battle and Rye. We felt very relaxed after our stay in this very special property. Hide

Really lovely cottage, high standard of finish inside. Only slight negative would be the bedroom where there is a sloping ceiling & staircase can be a little bit of a challenge during night if you need to loo! Having said this we would definitely return, and run the gauntlet with the wonderful sheep in the field :)

Lovely cottage in a restful, secluded location. Really tastefully designed interior that felt both luxurious and homely. We especially loved the outdoor bath, log burner and looking out at the green fields and gulls through the horizontal window in the bedroom. Easy to get out to Hastings and Rye, Tillingham, and the countryside. Hosts were also grRead moreeat, and really responsive when we had a small issue. Hide

We had a fabulous stay in this wonderful property. The views from all windows were gorgeous and you really did feel very secluded. The location was perfect for us, as we were keen to explore Hastings (a 15 minute drive) and Rye (a 20 minute drive). Having a peaceful base to return to after a day out was just what we were after. The outdoor bath waRead mores an amazing experience, especially on cold January days! The property was nice and cosy thanks to the underfloor heating, and there was plenty of hot water. We found the bed to be very comfortable and slept very well throughout our stay. If travelling with a toddler, as we were, I'd recommend grippy socks or slippers for the hard floors and taking a stair gate as the stairs are steep with open balustrades. The owners contacted us to check we had arrived ok and were very responsive when we did have a question, which was appreciated We would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for peace and privacy and / or those looking to explore the Hastings, Rye and other local areas.
