Set in the rolling scenery of the High Weald National Landscape, this stylish cottage is ideal for couples and small families eager to explore woodland trails, historic towns and the Sussex coast with their furry best friends. When you return to this gem of an escape, relax in its peaceful outdoor space that’s designed for tranquil evenings together.

The cottage is a unique blend of home comforts, rustic character and colourful touches. You’ll feel truly welcome in the comfortable lounge, which has a high, beamed ceiling and plenty of space for pet beds. As well as plush seating, there’s a Smart TV and shelves of books, ready for slow afternoons indoors. A step up takes you into the bright kitchen/diner, where a farmhouse-style table makes a sociable spot for meals. You’ll have ample storage, and a microwave and dishwasher to help make cooking and clearing up simple. The ground floor is also home to a charming super-king-size bedroom (twin on request), and a sumptuous bathroom with a free-standing bath and wet-room-style shower. The second bedroom, reached via a wooden ladder, is on a mezzanine overlooking the lounge and boasts a double bed tucked under ceilings that slope steeply to the floor. A stable door leads from the kitchen to a pretty patio, where hounds can chase their tails as humans enjoy the sunshine or grill something tasty on the BBQ. Private parking for two cars is provided.

Take your mutts for a run in Brede High Woods (5 miles) or on Hastings Beach (7 miles) – where parts of the sandy beach are dog-friendly all year round. Explore the grounds and outdoor spaces of Bodiam Castle on a short lead (6.5 miles), and return to enjoy a pint in the welcoming village pubs of Westfield or Sedlescombe, both within 2 miles.

The Hayloft was a delightful cottage on a traditional farm in the Sussex countryside. The host was very helpful and quick to respond. THE welcome pack of wine, biscuits, some basic supplies and fresh eggs from the farm chickens was much appreciated. The bed was particularly comfortable. The cottage was in a great location for visiting Hastings, RyeRead more and Battle with excellent village pubs in the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again. Hide
