The property is in a lovely, peaceful location that's great for exploring the local area. There is a beautiful garden with stunning views over the countryside. However, the interior doesn't quite match up. The main living area/kitchen is light and spacious but the bedrooms are quite dark, dingy, musty smelling and very basic. Not all the beds we needed were made up when we arrived so we had to go round to the owners and ask for extra bedding. Cleanliness and the maintenance of the cottage was a big issue for us. Every room had cracked plaster work, dirty marks on the walls, cobwebs over all the beams and ceilings, very dusty on all the surfaces apart from the tables and kitchen worktops. A number of lights in the living room didn't work, I had to change the bulb in a bedroom lamp. The cooker hood and filter were filthy, the kitchen curtains thick with dust. The outside of the windows were very dirty. The main bathroom was very poor with dirt/dust on the skirting boards and behind the sink - the shower cubicle was very small, mouldy and surrounded by rotting woodwork. There was also a notice to say that showers could only be taken 30 minutes apart or it would cut off! No good if you have 6 people who all want a shower before going out - it would take 3 hours to get ready!! The so called "fire exit" was a locked window! It needs a thorough deep clean, freshen up and some modernisation. I don't feel it was worth the £1000+ we paid for 3 nights. We would be unlikely to return.

Lovely spacious cottage the photos on the website do not show the true size of the property it is much bigger. Lovely outlook from the gardens and plenty to do in the area. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Spent a lovely long weekend with our family at The Byre which was a great place to stay. The only criticism would be the sitting room sofas which weren't the most comfortable but everything else couldn't have been better. Thank you to the hosts for a super break at a very competitive price

Wonderful location, lovely accommodation- spacious, well equipped and tastefully decorated with beautiful art throughout. Welcoming hosts with everything we could have needed in the cottage. We had a lovely relaxing week.

Lovely, well equipped cottage in a beautiful location. Very peaceful, gorgeous views with Pheasants visiting the garden. Stayed with my Mum (who celebrated her 79th birthday there) and my 20 year old son. A pint of milk, tea bags and a cake was very welcome after the 7.5 hr drive to get there! It is very isolated but plenty of supermarkets, M&S etc at Bexhill around 15 minutes away.

we were a party of 4 generations & the byre suited us well.Good range of equipment.
