Coastguard Cottage With Sea Views

This victorian coast guard cottage sits high on top of the cliff in acres of country parkland. With spectacular views from every window ! A paradise for walkers, ( and dogs ! ) it also has the benefit of being 10 mins drive from Hastings Old Town with its famous fishing community, eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, beach and rail link to London and Brighton.
15 mins in the other direction takes you to the beautiful clique port town of Rye and the white sand beach at Camber beyond.
The new visitor centre in the country park , is a stroll away, good for breakfast or light lunch .
“The Cove “ is a 20 min walk across the cliff top into Fairlight village. A very good foodie pub, using local produce and serving local beer, it has something for everyone with lovely atmosphere.

Lovely cottage with great views

We found the cottage to be very comfortable and well equipped. Great walks direct from the front door especially to The Cove for a very enjoyable early dinner. We all agreed it is one of the nicest places we have stayed in. We would love to return in the summer to really explore the area and see the views on sunny days.

Pure luxury in the middle of nature

Behind a modest façade lies a perfectly modernized and cosy cottage with a fenced garden for a dog. Stunning seaviews and only 100 meters away from the coastal path with great walks!

Very comfy and homely

The cottage is very comfortable, with everything included for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We really didn’t want to leave. The kitchen is very well-equipped as is the rest of the cottage. It’s in a lovely location with fine walks and stupendous sunrises.

Lovely stay

We stayed over the new years break. Karen left us some delicious truffles and bubbly which was thoughtful! Communication with Karen was great from the beginning. Pictures doesn’t do the cottage justice it was much bigger than I thought. Unfortunately my husband and I caught a cold so we weren’t feeling up for exploring but our friends did and lived Rye. The views were picturesque but when it’s windy you know about it! Would definitely recommend! Thank you Karen

Peaceful getaway

Wonderfully situated in countryside near cliffs with far views in all directions. Close to nature, sea air and peace. Easy access, parking, well-appointed cottage, friendly neighbour and welcoming host made for a care-free time. We were blessed with the finest weather this year yet, which was a delightful bonus. Would be happy to return for a longer stay and recommend to others.

Relaxing stay in cosy cottage

We spent 3 nights in this lovely cottage within the country Park, the cottage is incredibly well equipped in the kitchen , the views are amazing, all the way along the coast, Pett levels, Rye, Camber sands, Dungeness and in one particularly clear night France! Karen responded to queries immediately and was an excellent host. I certainly recommend this cottage.

One of the best places we've ever stayed

Apart from the fabulous views, the property was very well equipped, comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We invited family over for a celebration lunch and it all went very well. We had no idea we were virtually inside a gorgeous nature reserve, which was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much.

Birthday Long Weekend

The Coastguard cottage was much bigger than we thought from the pictures on the internet. We could have done with more hot water as there was 6 of us and 4 would have liked a bath. the log burner was great really cosy and warm. The National reserve was lovely great walks and scenery.

Lovely few days in unusual property well described & cared for.

Comfortable and well supplied. Only very very slight gripes- the light over the bathroom mirror didn’t work; and only the one smaller size saucepan with lid didn’t seem quite enough! Everything else was beautifully supplied, clean and well chosen! We loved the location, quiet and spectacular and the neighbours were friendly too.

Wonderful cottage to have for Christmas

We all had a truly magical time at the cottage. It had a really well stocked kitchen and the provisions left for us were much appreciated. Very comfy beds. Panoramic views from the roll top bath. Our dogs had a great time on walks. And luckily the weather was perfect. Thank you Karen for letting 4 generations of our family spend Christmas together.

Perfect Break

The property is a beautiful old house with high ceilings and stunning views of the area around it. Set off on a very quiet road. The house is well maintained and had all the amenities that we needed. Also a lovely touch of a bottle of bubbles as we were staying over New Years Eve. The only thing we didn't realise when booking that the third bathroom is a bath tub in the top floor room as appose to an actual bathroom/ ensuite, but that was maybe down to us not checking the listing properly. It was perfect for our little break and would higly recommend
