Very spacious unique well appointed cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay in this accommodation, we were lucky enough to enjoy using the fireplace. The cottage was in a quiet village location with shops and a pub. The location allowed us to spend a day checking out both Hastings and Brighton Beaches. The cottage was exactly as presented in the advert. We would definitely recommend this property.

Glyndebourne Weekend

This is a lovely property! I agree with other reviewers that the pictures don’t quite do it justice. Beds are comfy with good quality linens. We loved the tiny secret garden which is a real sun trap! We stayed for three nights as we were attending two performances at Glyndebourne - a half hour drive away. There are some good pubs and walks in the area and we would recommend a visit to the Hidden Spring Vineyard. We would highly recommend.

A lovely place to stay and well placed.

A lovely place to stay and well placed for exploring the surrounding area, including easy access to Cuckoo Trail. Heathfield nearby has plenty of shops, including Sainsbury's, Waitrose, an excellent deli (Cuculo) and very good fish and chips (Nemo). The Chapel has a well equipped kitchen, good sized shower room and toilet and nice, airy bedrooms. The living room, in the main well of the building, is stunning. Michelle was very helpful whenever we had something to ask.

Fantastic escape from London in beautiful accommodation!

Thank you so much! We could not have asked for a more comfortable and beautiful place to stay for the weekend! It had everything we could ever need for a weekend and we loved the ‘secret garden’ too! Thank you! We will be recommending to our friends! Jonny and Geanie

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Lee

Host profile image
Having had a long corporate career, I decided to spend more time with the people I love in the place I love, home, here in beautiful East Sussex. Having moved to this fabulous house in 2017 it allowed us to open the Chapel to guests.

I now spend my days running cookery classes from my own kitchen, and lovingly preparing the Chapel for guests like you!

Why they chose this property

Maynards Green is a great base to visit all that the Kent and Sussex countryside has to offer including 1066 country, local beaches, many national trust properties, including Birling Gap, Batemans and so much more.

Alternatively you may choose just to relax in the comfortably, cosy surroundings.

The Chapel does have 2 sets or stairs so may not be suitable for the less active.

What makes this property unique

The property dates back to the 15th Century and has all the charm of the era coupled with modern day luxuries that you deserve when you are away.

The house has a fully fitted kitchen, complete with full sized fridge, induction hob, electric oven, and microwave.

There is central heating throughout along with a wood burning fire for cosy days and nights in.
