Comfortable and well supplied. Only very very slight gripes- the light over the bathroom mirror didn’t work; and only the one smaller size saucepan with lid didn’t seem quite enough! Everything else was beautifully supplied, clean and well chosen! We loved the location, quiet and spectacular and the neighbours were friendly too.

The cottage is just beautiful. Thanks to Karen for the brilliant stay.

The Coastguard cottage was much bigger than we thought from the pictures on the internet. We could have done with more hot water as there was 6 of us and 4 would have liked a bath. the log burner was great really cosy and warm. The National reserve was lovely great walks and scenery.

The property is a beautiful old house with high ceilings and stunning views of the area around it. Set off on a very quiet road. The house is well maintained and had all the amenities that we needed. Also a lovely touch of a bottle of bubbles as we were staying over New Years Eve. The only thing we didn't realise when booking that the third bathroom is a bath tub in the top floor room as appose to an actual bathroom/ ensuite, but that was maybe down to us not checking the listing properly. It was perfect for our little break and would higly recommend

Cosy and rustic cottage with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. Amazing views and walks on your doorstep. Great pub in the village close by.

We loved Karen's house, it is beautifully appointed and in the most amazing location. We would definitely recommend and would definitely visit again in the future. The house has loads of light and is very comfortable and well equipped.

Apart from the fabulous views, the property was very well equipped, comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We invited family over for a celebration lunch and it all went very well. We had no idea we were virtually inside a gorgeous nature reserve, which was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much.

A delightful cottage in an awesome location with spectacular views. It is all about the views with this property. We will definitely return!

3 visit, already booked the 4th

Wonderful, perfect relaxing break

Perfect for bus to Hastings, a walk along the cliff path and a bosrd games day indoors

Wonderful, 5 star all the way. Did not want to leave. Will be back.

We enjoyed our time at this cottage. It was a quiet getaway for us after a busy 10 days of driving and visiting so many wonderful National Trust Properties. The cottage is decorated perfectly for a coastal feel and we were welcomed by some fabulous fresh bread. I don’t think the pictures quite displayed how close we were in proximity to the other cottages in the row, but the neighbors were helpful when we were trying to sort out which cottage was ours and helped us locate keys. We heard very little noise from the neighbors. It was great to walk right out to the park/coast area and explore. Sadly, I have a health issue that reacts sometimes in older properties and there was a musty smell that was a trigger for me. Not sure if there is a way to ventilate to prevent that when your guests arrive. Otherwise, it is a lovely cottage. Oh, also very little toilet paper was provided and maybe a bar of soap - or let guests know to bring their own.

This is such a lovely cottage within the beautiful parkland and amazing views across the sea. This is a perfect getaway and will definitely be back.

We had a lovely weekend staying in Coastguards Cottage. Idyllic, Peaceful and Picturesque location. The Cottage interior is very stylish.

We’ve had the most amazing time staying here. The location is just wonderful. Dog walking heaven with spectacular walks and views in all directions. Great communication and flexibility from Karen the owner, we’ve had just the most wonderful break from real life! We can’t wait to come back.

We had a lovely stay, only slightly diminished by the very strong winds (which turned an otherwise amazing location into slightly less pleasant experience for part of our stay). But Karen is a wonderful host (responsive, helpful and clearly cares abt her guests having a nice time) and her house was impeccable, cosy and stylish with all we needed for a weekend of exploring and overeating :)

This is a delightful property but unfortunately water escaped from the small bedroom ceiling on Friday night which caused me to sleep in the upper room the remainder and following night with my son. The heating also needed updating as some of the radiators did not work

It was a perfect week in Fairlight/Hastings for us! Lovely cottage in beautiful sourroundings, very cosy place! We enjoyed every day, very friendly people and neighbours, we are looking forward to coming back soon again! And thank you to Karen, too...everything went very easy and uncomplicated! Best regards from Germany Georg

Flies And there is no tea bags, coffe,?instant or sugar We loved the house quite and nice Oh the bottle bin is missing

Spent a long weekend here for husbands 60th. The position is just wonderful with fantastic walks on the doorstep and fabulous views from the bedrooms. Plenty of plates etc and all the basics when you arrive. Garden is secure if you’re bringing a four legged friend. We had such a lovely time. Thank you.

Spent a very happy holiday with our family & two dogs in this well equipped cottage in a stunning coastal location. Great walks on your doorstep & lovely places to visit nearby. Will definitely miss the panoramic sea views!

We all had a truly magical time at the cottage. It had a really well stocked kitchen and the provisions left for us were much appreciated. Very comfy beds. Panoramic views from the roll top bath. Our dogs had a great time on walks. And luckily the weather was perfect. Thank you Karen for letting 4 generations of our family spend Christmas together.

Just what we were looking for - amazing location, lovely views, very comfortable and really cosy. Karen was great. Hope to be back soon.

Well where do I start ... We (a family of 6 adults and 2 dogs) stayed at Coastgaurd cottage over the wonderfully sunny May bank holiday week. The weather was glorious and what a place to be to enjoy it! The cottage has everything you need. Is cosy and welcoming, the beds are comfy and Karen the owner is super helpful. The kitchen is full of plenty of glasses and plates etc and there was some bread, milk, butter and jams waiting for us on arrival which was also a lovely touch. If you enjoy the outdoors then this is the place to visit. It sits on an amazing national park with stunning views and there is a quiet secluded beach just a 20 minute walk through all of the wonderful wild garlic. The property is also close to towns such as Rye with quaint little shops meaning that there is plenty to do. I would say that the property is perfect for a family get away with children, adult escape or couples retreat. We will most definitely return and I have to say this has become one of my favourite places in England :)

We managed to arrive a day late because of illness at the start of the coldest and snowiest week in decades, and it was cold having been unoccupied the week before, however we huddled round the wood burning stove and got the place warm ( I have to state that I do not think that would normally be a problem!!!) Upstairs seemed warmer and the bed we slept in was sooooo comfortable!! Next day there was a little snow which transformed the views to something quite ethereal. However we were not well enough to visit our relatives which was our main purpose in being there and we left on the Wednesday, having worked out that it was the best chance we had in making it home in one piece and not being snowed in. We had a wonderfully clear journey home A21, M25 and M40 had never been seen so empty!! I hasten to add that the accommodation was fine and quite quirky and comfortable. I would happily return there and look forward to doing so, - it was our misfortune that our illness, the weather and my brother's state of health combined to work against us.

We had a lovely week with our 2 children and grandparents. We even managed to walk to Hastings which was a very muddy but beautiful 1.5hr walk. The coastal path is partially closed but still worthwhile.

The property is in a fabulous location with stunning sea views in all directions. An added bonus were the lovely sunsets to the front of the house and a beautiful sunrise from the back.The nature reserve is right on the doorstep, affording easy access to great country walks. The house was really comfortable for 3 couples for a New Year break and the owner thoughtfullly left welcome provisions for our arrival including milk, bread, eggs and butter.

Really lovely homely place to stay. Views & walks lovely

The house was lovely and comfortable for all six of us. The views from the upstairs bedroom were amazing - especially watching the Hares in the field opposite! The country park next door was great for walking the dogs (secure and far enough away from the cliffs to let them off the lead) and we enjoyed being only a few minutes by car to Hastings. Karen was great throughout booking and the welcome gift was very much appreciated! We do a family holiday every year and according to my dad this was the best yet - so thanks!

We stayed in the cottage for just four nights this July with our friends, another couple. It was comfy, clean and tidy with freshly made comfy beds. The tearooms up the lane from the cottage serves good abd well priced food. Please note to date this business is for sale. The views from the windows upstairs of the cottage were lovely and far reaching on clear weather days. As I requested 2 pints sof fresh milk was left for us in the fridge. Also thoughtful extras of a small loaf and small pots of jam. The main snag was despite this cottage being listed as " suitable for the elderly or infirm " it wasn't. Both baths were overly deep and getting in and out was positively dangerous. The main bathroom with shower over bath it's ventilation was poor. There are badly cracked floor tiles just as you enter this main bathroom. There was a suction handle provided but the area to enter and exit the bath was narrow due the the toilet being right beside it. Plus the shower door only opened out or in a small amount. Have messaged the owner Karen that we liked the cottage but due to the issues with both baths and to take a shower being risky we wouldn't book again. That is unless a walk in shower was put in place and instead of the cramped shower over bath arrangement. Our party was made up of four physically fit adults aged 52 to 62 but we all struggled with getting in and out of both baths. So sadly our rating of four stars instead of five was down to the bath and shower issues.

Lovely walks
