Robin and Christine made this a truly wonderful stay in a beautiful setting, in an immaculate accommodation! I would return in a heartbeat!Robin even met me at a pub to guide me to the place when I couldn't find it (my fault).I wish I had had more time to hang with them, so much fun, so interesting, so welcoming!The situation is idyllically English: a beautiful shaded garden - with peacocks! - and a pond, bordering a field with grazing sheep and the classic, green, hilly vista.On site parking - brilliant! The accommodation itself was spotless and has everything you need for a self-catering experience, if that's what you want. Tons of closet space. I could live there.A short drive to Lewes or Brighton (my places of interest) along with many others, without the traffic.I hope to be back soon :-) Thank you both!
