Brilliant stay
We loved The Retreat as it was so peaceful and secluded yet only a two minute walk to the Two Sawyers for a smashing evening meal! The house had everything we needed and was lovely and clean on arrival. Beautiful weather meant we could enjoy the decking, and watch the wildlife and sheep, after visiting many NT properties in the area. Jac and Phil were the perfect hosts and if we are ever back in the area we will definitely stay again.

Peaceful Country Retreat
Ideal for a couple like us, situated quietly down a drive off the village road. Clean, comfortable, very well equipped and all on one floor. Jac was very friendly and helpful. Well placed for visiting both a number of National Trust and other properties and gardens, plus towns such as Rye & Hastings. We also enjoyed great weather for September.

Lovely relaxing stay
The retreat is a very clean and well equipped property in a beautiful countryside setting. There is a gorgeous outlook from the balcony - lovely to relax with a glass of wine whilst the kids played in the garden. Would highly recommend

The Perfect Retreat
This the best self catering place we have ever stayed in. It is fully equipped and I could happily live here full time. The hosts are friendly and approachable, not that we needed anything during our stay. The Retreat is in a quiet village with a pub at end of the driveway and Hastings with all its attractions is a short drive away. I thoroughly recommend this venue and promise you will not be disappointed.

Why they chose this property

The Retreat has been a very successful holiday home since 1999 with many returning guests. One couple have holidayed here every year since 2001.

What makes this property unique

You should feel relaxed and miles away from the 'hulaballoo' as The Retreat is set back over 35 yards from the village road. Having said that it is only a short walk to the local inn/restaurant, hairdresser's/café, post office and butcher's.

Our guests are very happy with the location, accommodation, and what is provided at the property. They 'want for nothing'. We lived at The Retreat for a year whilst building our house - maybe that is something to do with it as no white goods/hardware etc were removed when we moved into the house.
