About this cottage rental

Little Turret is part of the old farm buildings of the Beauport Home Farm built in 1838 and in its time housed the farm workers. Situated above the now converted old forge and cowshed and amongst a few more modern homes, Little Turret is full of character. It has recently been renovated to provide all the modern appliances whilst keeping original features to reflect the age of the property. Tastefully decorated with a mixture of Farrow and Ball colours and William Morris wallpaper you won't be disappointed. Access is up the stone spiral staircase in the turret with its interesting ceiling, which leads to the lounge with a log burner, TV, Netflix, Disney+, DVD player, choice of DVDs and 2 sofas. The property has an ample dining room with vintage furnishings and a further woodburner ideal for cozy Autumn and Winter meals. Off the dining room is a small but quirky cloakroom. The fully equipped galley kitchen has a dishwasher, washer/dryer, oven, hob, microwave and fridge. The double bedroom is off the lounge with quality, luxury bedding. Please ask if you require an extra bed for a young person . We can provide a foldaway bed and bedding.

Upstairs you will find the bedroom with exposed brick work, a king size Rococo bed with quality bedding, stripped floorboards and far reaching views from the unusual round window over Hastings towards the sea. The spacious bathroom has a roll top bath with a hand shower attachment. Cotton towels and individual wrapped soaps provided for that touch of luxury.

Little Turret has its own driveway for at least 2 cars and a pretty decking area with table and seating for 4 to enable you to enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon tea.

Little Turret is ideally located in the heart of the famous 1066 Country a short drive from Hastings seafront, the historic town of Battle with its Abbey, the beautiful town of Rye. It's just a 10 minute drive into St. Leonards where you are spoilt for choice for antique shops, cafes and galleries. St. Leonards even has its own independent cinema with restaurant and art gallery. Hastings Old Town is a short drive away with many events held during the year. Hastings is known for its Pirate Day and is a must if you are in the area. It also hosts an annual Seafood and Wine Festival in September and Hastings Day Bonfire and Firework Display in October. In November nearby Battle hosts a Bonfire Night Procession and amazing firework display from Battle Abbey.

Hastings has a stunning contemporary designed pier after the original was destroyed by fire several years ago. Now open for the public to enjoy views of the town from out to sea.

Hastings Old Town also has a mixture of antique shops and cafes alongside amusements, crazy golf and everything you'd expect from a seaside holiday. The picturesque narrow streets and fishing huts set between the 2 cliffs are worth a visit.

A little further out you can find plenty of walks, cycle routes and areas of outstanding natural beauty. For those interested in history you can visit Battle Abbey famously founded by William the Conqueror, Bodiam Castle complete with moat and turrets and Herstmonceux Castle to name but a few historical attractions.

With so many attractions and events you will barely have time to enjoy the home comforts of the cottage.

Jane and Jon were amazing hosts! I ended up booking Little Turret after my prior VRBO cancelled just before my trip, Jane and Jon allowed me to stay over the Holiday when they normally would have closed. I cannot express how grateful I am to them and their family for providing me a place to stay. I arrived later than anticipated but was treated with some welcome gifts that were perfect! From the unique entry-way (almost castle like) to the first glimpse inside Little Turret, the property gives you all the English charm and quirk your heart desires. Little Turret was a sanctuary for me over a 23 day trip and I found myself not wanting to leave the multiple fireplaces or bathtub! The beds are comfortable, amenities are well done, and in general it is just the perfect spot to rest, rejuvenate, and reflect. I spent a lot of time cooking, building fires, and reading. When I finally left the property, it was close car ride to Historic Battle, Hastings, the coast, Rye, Eastbourne and a little further to Brighton. Close access to train stations and other amenities you might need during your stay. Jane was fantastic at communicating and was readily available whenever I had questions or needed something. If your looking for an amazing place to stay, experience historic England with some real English charm I cannot express more that Little Turret is the place to go! I will return in the future. Thank you again Jane & Jon for making my English Holiday perfect!

We absolutely loved our stay - the Little Turret was everything we hoped for. It is full of surprises with all the charm of a bygone era and plenty of personal touches to make it special. Would have no hesitation in staying again. Thanks Jane,

The house is so pretty and cosy to stay in. Of course it is small and of course, when one is 6'7" like me you'd bang your head against the beams but we had a great stay! Bed is comfortable!

Well-equipped & very comfortable (except for the sofas, which were not). Beautifully decorated, but downstairs was dark, even on bright days. Palatial bathroom, but struggled bathing without a stand-in shower. Sea view not visible except from garden. Location brilliant, 5 mins from seafront, & very peaceful. Overall, a lovely place, & owner Jane was lovely too.

Seit Jahren stosse ich bei meiner Recherche nach Ferienhäusern im Internet immer wieder auf dieses besondere Haus mit dem Turm...Nun haben wir es gebucht, mit einer grossen Erwartungshaltung. Und wurden nicht enttäuscht!!! Das wichtigste zuerst: Perfekt sauber bis ins Detail! Und das ist uns wichtig. Ein so außergewöhnliches Haus mit dieser ausgefallenen Einrichtung so sauber zu halten ist nicht einfach ( das weiss ich aus eigener Erfahrung) aber hier ist es gelungen. Danke dafür. Alle Fotos in der Beschreibung sind authentisch. Die liebe zum Detail, die hübsche Terrasse, die Bank in der Abendsonne, es war so wunderbar. Und die Vermieterin so herzlich und sympathisch. Unsere Kinder kamen überraschend für 3 Nächte dazu, das war kein Problem, hat nichts extra gekostet. Nochmal Danke. Die Betten, die Kissen, die Handtücher, alles hochwertig. Danke für eine wunderbare Woche.

The location was a little further out of Hastings than I thought but was easy with a car to get around. The place itself is wonderful and so are the hosts. The houses personal touches are great. We were so tired after a 11 hour flight and two hour drive that having wine , eggs bread and milk was wonderful so we didn't have to run right out again. Would stay here again definitely!!! There are quite a few steps if this is hard for you. It wasn't for us. Thank you for sharing your place with us.
