Beautiful converted Oast house. Well equipped kitchen. Extra bed off the first floor living room meant that my adult children could sleep in separate rooms (in addition to the room my wife and I stayed in). Lovely plants and flowers around the house and farm. Chickens and cows galore :-). Table tennis and pool table in the barn if it is raining - which thankfully it wasn't. Charles and Truus made us very welcome (and Truus's cake was delicious :-).

Ein sehr schönes ruhiges, abgelegenes, ordentliches Anwesen. Wir sind eine Familie, die Ruhe und abgelegene Orte in der Natur suchen. Hier haben wir das gefunden. Die umgebaute Scheune hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Sie wurde mit viel Liebe umgebaut und eingerichtet. Die Küche beinhaltet alles was man benötigt um eine große Familie zu versorgen. Der Ofen im Essbereich hat an kalten Abenden zügig das Haus aufgeheizt. Das Wohnzimmer liegt im oberen Stock, was wir sehr angenehm fanden, da so ein Teil der Familie ungestört im Essbereich sein konnte, während die anderen Fernseher schauten. Die Schlafzimmer in den runden Räumen sind etwas Besonderes und sehr gemütlich. Das dritte Bett befindet sich etwas abgegrenzt im oberen Stock hinter dem Wohnzimmer. Es hat uns überhaupt nicht gestört, dass es kein separates Zimmer war. Es ist ein sehr großes Haus und es gab für uns sechs Personen ausreichend Platz. Ein besonderes Highlight war für unsere Kinder die riesige Spielscheune mit Tischtennis, Billardtisch, Dartscheibe und vielen anderen Spielen für draußen (z. B. Federball, Fußballnetz, ...). Ein paar Minuten Fußweg entfernt verläuft versteckt ein kleiner Bach, in dem man sich an heißen Tagen abkühlen kann. Charles und Truus sind sehr sehr nette Gastgeber und haben uns viele Tips für unsere Ausflüge gegeben. Als wir anreisten standen Eier von den eigenen Hühnern und ein leckerer Apfelkuchen in der Küche. Vielen Dank nochmals. Wir können das Ferienhaus sehr empfehlen!

Fantastische verblijf

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Ontvangst door de eigenaars Truus en Charles was zeer hartelijk. Lokatie was prachtig, genoeg voorzieningen in en om het huis ook voor kinderen (tafeltennis, darten, trampoline, voetbaldoeltje, spelletjes enz), wandelroute in de buurt, locatie was centraal om met de auto East Sussex te bozieken.. zeer aan te raden voor iedereen

Traumhaft!

Vermieter außergewöhnlich nett und freundlich, Ausstattung hervorragend einschl. Tischtennisplatte, Trampolin etc. für die Kinder, top Alleinlage. Besonders zu empfehlen: die versteckte Badestelle unten am Fluß und der Fußweg über den national footpath zu Bateman's.

Wonderful setting, wonderful hosts

A Dutch couple have lovingly rebuilt this old property, including the drum-shaped oust house. It’s a working farm, surrounded by peaceful pastureland. Some standard amenities (closet space, chiefly) are trade-offs, but if you’re open to the rural experience this is for you.

Prachtig gelegen Cottage op een boerderij

Prachtig gelegen Cottage. Wandelpaden vanaf de deur. Deel van een mooie boerderij met zeer vriendelijke gastheer en gastvrouw. Ook goed hondvriendelijk. Cottage is ruim en compleet, inclusief het mooie terras. Bedden en luie stoelen vonden wij helaas minder comfortabel. Ook weinig ramen.

Rural peace

Pretty central for other National Trust properties & towns like Lewes & Hastings. The local pub is within walking distance with a limited menu done very well.

Tranquillity in the Sussex Weald

Such a lovely spot quiet spot in the heart of the Sussex weald on 65 acre organic farm. Charles and Truss are lovely people and made us so welcome with Dutch apple cake and farm eggs on arrival. You can walk to Bateman's across in fields in under an hour. The oast / barn was very spacious with a family of 4 and full of character, cool in summer and with a large woodburner no doubt snug in winter. Kids loved the games room with dart board, table tennis and trampoline!!

Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful and peaceful location

Charles and Truus were truly hospitable and enhanced our stay by giving us advice on the local area and history of the old Oast House. We’d 100% recommend the experience of staying here and hope to be back again in the not too distant future. Delicious eggs and Apple cake!

Amazing family friendly farm stay

We had a lovely stay with Truus and Charles, who are amazing hosts and really took their time with our two young kids, introducing them to the farm's animals and showing them around. It was a very relaxing and fun weekend we spent in this beautiful part of the country. We will definitely come again.

The farm was wonderful and had lots of scenic walks for us to explore. Charles and Truus were warm, helpful and engaging hosts. The apple cake on arrival was a lovely extra touch and very moist! Would recommend to anyone.
