Thanks Sue for an amazing stay! Jessie was perfect for a little getaway during these tough times. Jessie is warm and so cosy with amazing surroundings, so peaceful and quiet, feels like we're in the middle of nowhere. We had everything we needed and are amazed at what you've done with the space. Our puppy Spike loved it too and all the new smells to explore! We'd definitely recommend visiting Bedgebury Pinetum. Only 20 mins away, beautiful walks & amazing views. Thanks again

Stables were impeccable when we arrived. So lovely to be back again (5th or 6th time). Can't wait to book again. Added delight were the Oxford Sandy & Blacks in the field plus the arrival of 15 piglets at the weekend. Castlemans is so well though out with plenty of electric sockets in the right places. Sad to leave. Hope you continue to have loads of bookings and see you next year. Wishing you all well & stay safe!

We have had a very relaxing stay - which was just what we were looking forward to! I have run out of lovely things to say about the stables and all of you but the fact that we come back as often as possible I think says it all!! We are always happy to know we have another week booked before we go home! Thanks again

We've had the best weekend in Sawmill Cottage fantastically well equipped kitchen with everything you need to whip up a lovely meal. Would highly recommend the Sankeys restaurant on Mt Ephraim - dog friendly as well! We've had some excellent walks to Eridge Rocks nature reserve and also Bedgebury Pinetum - pick up the map for the 5-mile route. The cottage is the perfect base to chill but with aching legs and a sleepy dog in the evenings. Thanks for a great stay.

We have had a fantastic few days in Stables East. We enjoyed trips to Hastings, Battle, Bexhill on Sea (great play area for our 3 year old daughter) and Camber Sands. The cottage is beautiful and set to a very high standard. We loved the view and the village and can't wait to come back again in the future. Thank you for your hospitality

Thank you Sue and team. Our 4th visit to this lovely cottage. A little later than normal due to the virus. So good to be able to relax and get a change of scenery, with walks for the dogs locally, and within a short drive. Excellent pub lunchs as always. Hope to be able to visit again next year.

Fabulous week, the weather was amazing which always helps! We had lovely meals at the pub, Queens Head down the road. Visited Rye - beautiful, Dungeness - interesting, Hastings Old Town - lovely! Walking routes are great. Carr Taylor & Sedlescombe organic vineyards both interesting in their own ways. Battle is a lovely town also. The accommodation is fabulous, first class, everything you'd ever need. Dog biscuits greatly appreciated. We had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner!!

Thank you for a peaceful scenic stay in the cosy Jessie. We absolutely loved the privacy and quiet. Visited Battle for some yummy ice cream! Visited Hastings and ate at "Maggie's" was great fish and chips - would definitely recommend! We will definitely be back to stay at Jessie. Absolutely perfect! Thank you!

Brilliant week exploring East Sussex and Kent, taking in beautiful surroundings and good pub food. We really enjoyed The Bell in Ticehurst and Whites in Battle. Brede High Wood makes for a beautiful stroll - lots left to explore for next time. The cottage is so comfortable and everything is catered for - we loved the views on the veranda and wood burner. Thank you to Sue who was so accommodating with her help with the high chair. Very best wishes

Had a wonderfull few days at Sawmill Cottage. Weather could have been better but thats no-one's fault! Location is excellent for exploring the Pantiles and the rest of the town and the parking spot is a real bonus. Plenty of good eating and drinking/shopping spots to hand. We had a great meal in The Ivy and also the Tunbridge Wells Hotel. All in all a very good break. Thank you very much.

Sawmill Cottage is a wonderful place to spend our staycation. Perfectly located for a wander over to the Pantiles on an evening or for morning dog walks through the woods behind the cottage. We had some lovely trips out to Rye, Beachy Head and Scotney Castle. However, if you do nothing else you must have Sunday lunch at the Kentish Hare only 10 minutes away. We hope to be back! Bella says thank you very much for my treats! Much enjoyed

Although the weather wasn't great we still managed to get to the beach at Camber Sands and collected lots of shells. we enjoyed trips to Rye and Battle and enjoyed a lovely walk around Alexandra Park in Hastings, The cottage was very clean and well equipped to a very high standard. We have been here before and will probably return again. Many thanks

We had such a lovely holiday staying in Stables East. It is such a beautiful cottage with amazing views from the balcony. We were so lucky with the weather too! We visited Hastings, Battle Abbey, Rye and Bodiam Castle. We had two great beach days on Camber Sands where to our surprise our dog Ellie was able to be off lead. She loved it as did we. We would love to come back. Many thanks.
