A comfortable, clean and very quirky little house oozing with character.

Little Turret is a unique property in an ideal location for exploring many attractions across Sussex and Kent. We visited in May but it would be lovely and cosy in the winter months too.

Pretty little house

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!

Our week at the Little Turret

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,

Quirky but 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.

Thank you for our 5 star review we really appreciate it. Due to the age and nature of the building windows are historically smaller than modern buildings. The description doesn’t include stand in shower and we apologise if this was awkward for you. Roll top baths are pretty but harder to access. We hope to see you again. Jane

Coastal Sanctuary

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!

A lovely, unusual property, which we thoroughly enjoyed staying at for the week. We only met Jane, the host, as we were leaving, but she was lovely and was available anytime, should we have needed anything. The place was very clean and the beds were huge and very comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was provided. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Wunderschönes Häuschen

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus. Es ist im Vintage Stil eingerichtet und hat viele schöne Details. Die Betten sind bequem, das Haus ist sehr sauber und die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir waren mit den Fahrrädern da und haben tolle Fahrradtouren an der Küste, aber auch im Umland machen können.

Außergewöhnlich perfekt

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.

Great vacation in UK

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.

Character property

Spent a lovely weekend with my family at this beautiful property. So full of character and beautifully decorated if you like old then this is the place for you. It is well equipped and spotlessly clean with the added bonus of a welcome basket from the owner. (Milk bread butter etc). Good location for Hastings only a five minute drive away. The only disappointment for us was that it is surrounded by modern houses.

Sehr nette Vermieter mit einem schönen, stilvollen Haus.

Sehr liebevoll eingerichtetes Ferienhaus. Ein kulinarisches Willkommenspaket stand zur Begrüßung in der Küche. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Alles war so wie beschrieben. Ein Haus zum Wohlfühlen. Für Familien mit älteren Kindern sehr geeignet. Den Sonnenplatz draußen haben wir sehr genossen. Gerne kommen wir wieder. Die Vermieterin Jane ist wunderbar und hat uns mit einem sehr schönen Willkommenspaket begrüßt.

Our wonderful stay in Little Turret

My sister and I had a wonderful stay in Little Turret. The house is exactly as described. Everything is there and is furnished with many lovely details. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and we slept in it like babies and have a great rest. We were there by car and could do everything from there. Jane is a wonderful hostess and we would like to come back. Thank you very much Jane.

Life as in times gone by

Attractively decorated. Needed airing for 24 hours as a heavy and unpleasant smell left us with sinus, catarrh and headaches. The hospitality basket was inviting and attractive. The winding turret stairs left this 77 year old with the knowledge that bungalows and flats, though lacking the atmosphere of quirky is more sensible. Thank you for a nice venue to relax in.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to read that you experienced an unpleasant smell and felt that the property needed airing. We are also concerned that the smell maybe caused you discomfort. Of course had we known of the problem when you arrived we could’ve come up and investigated immediately. As you were aware we live on site and when i let you in to retrieve your locked in keys 9 asked if all was ok with you and you said it was all fine. So this rather surprised me to read about unpleasant smells bad enough to cause headaches. We have been letting Little Turret for over 3 years and have always had 4 and 5 star reviews and never a mention of smell which I would Like to emphasise to future guests. We hope this won’t put you off visiting Little Turret again, however we understand that the spiral staircase proved tricky. We mention this in our description as one of the unique features. We thank you for the 4 star rating and hope that your friends from your town book for later in the year. Jane

Superb! Beautiful house and lovely host. Home from home.

Superb! We loved our short break near Hastings at Little Turret. Jane was very welcoming and provided a welcome pack of goodies and greeted us when we arrived. A historic gem of a property located in a more modern but quiet residential street as you walk up the spiral steps of Little Turret you step back in time into a beautifully furnished and very tastefully styled renovated house with all the facilities you could ask for including an excellent kitchen, a beautiful dining room in the style of William Morris & a cosy living room with TV/DVD and a cosy log burner in the winter months.2 nice bedrooms, one downstairs but with a separate loo and one upstairs next to the bathroom which features a slipper bath! Fabulous place = home from home!

A really unique property, beautifully designed and decorated. From the generous welcome hamper to the cosy bed everything is thoughtfully and lovingly provided.
