The cottage was lovely, in an idyllic place. There were some issues with repairs and a dog barking for a lot of one of the nights but Jo was lovely and proffesional. The local pub did good food and it was very convinent for seeing hastings.

We had a lovely 2 night stay here. Needed to get away for a few days to relax. This was perfect for that. Loved the rural loaction and also hearing the horses walking by. Small issue with the wifi code not beng what was provided in the confirmation email (check the number in the book) Two Sawyers pub is a lovely place for dinner. Pork chop was divine!

Lovely chilled out stay

Had a great couple of days staying at this lovely hideaway with great surroundings slap bang in the middle of a Horse Stable. Loved every minute of our stay. Our host was there to greet us and very friendly and informative without being in your space. Very well equipped and comfortable place. Faultless and would definitely recommend and we will return again. Thank you

Customer review

It was just beautiful! Felt really cosy and homely, made us want to move in there! Only thing I'd improve is the Wi-Fi connection if guests want to watch Netflix or digital services, otherwise it's perfection. Excellent service and really would stay again, highly recommended.

sweet little cottage

Sweet, clean, totally modernised cottage, with old open beams in all the rooms. Dishwasher, combi boiler, washing machine, all the mod coms. WiFi available but difficult to connect to and very slow; we never were able to connect to our laptops, although I could connect to my iPhone. The cottage is located within a barn complex, and has a huge front "patio" and a private back patio, with table and chairs. Several horses in the barn next door, frequently tended to by their owners.

Relaxing break , a little gem !

We spent two days at this charming little cottage. It was a short drive to the beaches and to Hastings . The cottage was a perfect size for two people , it was well equipped and It has been beautifully decorated. The outside courtyard was a bonus and provided a great place to sit and read a book with a glass in hand. Being next to the stable, meant you could walk out of the front door and straight over to see the horses. Joanna and Mark were fabulous hosts and I would highly recommend a visit !

Lovely break close to Winchelsea and Rye

We used this beautiful barn convention as a base for a short break in one of our favourite areas. Staying on a working farm was lovely, made friends with the horses and the chickens made for a relaxing time between visiting the local trips out. Would highly recommend a stay

Windy and Wet few days

Despite some of the worse winds and rain this summer has supplied, the property provided a great base for exploring the area and was warm and inviting. Nothing seemed to have been left out by the owner in meeting our needs for a short holiday.

Another world...................

This charming cottage is fully equipped to make the stay a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Situated on a farm that is a working stables, the peace and quiet of the location and surroundings, with easy access to places of interest in Sussex and surrounding counties, make it an ideal "get away" for townies. The owners, Jojo and Mark, are most helpful and provide a selection of home produced goodies on arrival. We would not hesitate to return to this cottage if we wanted to return to this part of the country again.

A delightful hideaway

Shepherds Cottage is tiny but immaculate, beautifully decorated & well equipped for two people. We loved its situation in the stable yard where we could watch the coming & going of horses, dogs, chickens & rabbits. Joanna & Mark are warm & friendly hosts with a good local knowledge of this lovely area, where there is so much to see. The immediate area of the cottage is beautiful & peaceful. We highly recommend this charming property.

Our Best Stay Ever

We stayed for five weeks at this charming cottage. Jojo and Marc catered to our every need, going so far beyond what we have ever encountered before in our many years of travel that we would give them ten stars if possible. The cottage itself and surrounding village of Pett are pristine and beautiful. We loved staying on the farm and getting to know the animals. Even without a car, we were able to walk and take buses to the many surrounding attractions. This 'hidden gem' is one stay we will never forget!
