Mr Baker
May 2021

“We were very lucky with the weather, and so the holiday was a success.”

The cottage has some nice touches, but the description is not fully accurate. The single bedroom has a child's sized bed and is not suitable for an adult, and although set on its own, it is not 'tranquil' right next to a fairly busy lane.

- Mr Baker, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Gun Hill Cottage, the owner has taken your comments on board and has amended the description of the bed in the single room. We are glad the weather was good yoy had a successful holday. Owner relations
Mr Granberg October 2020

“Gun Hill cottage is a lovely place nestled in the East Sussex country side.”

We enjoyed the open fire, pool table and plenty of room for all the family. I can thoroughly recommend this place with plenty of walks and sights nearby not to mention one of the loveliest country pubs nearby.

“Lovely cottage to make your base for exploring Sussex.”

It manages to give you a comfortable and homely feeling. The Gun Pub down the road also does excellent food. The owner provided excellent communication prior to arrival.

Mrs Smith August 2020

“This is a beautiful, cosy cottage in a lovely part of the world.”

We were lucky enough to be able to eat in the garden every day on the lovely vine covered patio. As the weather was so hot we could perhaps have done with a bit more shade on the patio area. The local walks were lovely but we were also able to easily visit the Seven Sisters country park and Cuckmere Basin, Birling Gap and the lovely town of Lewes. There are 2 very good local pubs within walking distance. We particularly enjoyed the walk across the fields to the Six Bells at Chiddlingly.

- Mrs Smith, August 2020

Thank you for taking time to leave your comments and advice on the local walks. It is great to have recommendations to advise future guests. Owner relations
Amanda S July 2020

“A beautiful haven”

Stayed with sons family. A lovely clean and comfortable cottage with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds with well laundered linens. Real wooden coathangers (so often a selection of broken wire and plastic ones) The garden was great for relaxing and family cricket. The local pub is good and lovely walks all around the property. Lighting and plumbing a little eccentric but to be expected in a period property.

Mr Singleton July 2020

“The cottage is quaint and has a lovely garden (probably the best we have had at a cottage) and outside seating area which we used alot.”

It has most of the things you would expect to need for a week away. The pub was a five minute walk and had very good food, the cottage location is great, there are so many beautiful places to visit within half an hour drive in all directions. The disappointing thing was the cleanliness in some areas, there were dusty surfaces in the living room, spider webs in a lot of places and dead woodlice in the dolls house and toy horse box which I wiped down so my daughter could play....we get these in our house too, it's an old house. It's hard to believe a thorough clean happened just before we arrived though, which would be expected at the best of times, but especially this year. The other thing we felt needed attention was the oven door which doesn't close properly and perhaps some new placemats that aren't peeling. Overall an enjoyable holiday, thank you.

- Mr Singleton, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on Gun Hill Cottage. The owner takes all feedback very seriously and will investigate all points raised. We are glad you were able to enjoy the garden and surrounding area. Hideaways. Owner relations
Mrs Creese July 2020

“A beautiful property in a secluded area of East Sussex.”

Clean fresh linen and a welcome bottle of wine and pint of milk on arrival. The pool room amused the grandson and a selection of games and puzzles for wet days. An ideal proprty for the combined family holiday.

- Mrs Creese, July 2020

Thank you for your super comments.. we are so pleased you had a good time! Owner relations
Guest's review on Trip Advisor

“The cottage was delightful, clean and well equipped with a spacious garden that was delightful to sit in after an active day out (if not making use of the pool table in the pool room).”

The property was situated in an attractive area that was easy accessible to many attractions ranging from steam train rides, gardens and castles to numerous seaside resorts-Brighton, Hastings and Eastbourne. We would happily return to the area and cottage as it was one of the best holidays we have experienced.

“A beautiful cottage.”

Especially loved the activity shelves, gardens, local info., wood stove and Gun Pub. We loved it, and will be anticipating our next visit before too long.

The property

Gun Hill Cottage should certainly be at the top of your list if you're searching for a rural retreat for the family or with friends in this idyllic part of England.

Care and attention has gone into its refurbishment with no expense spared in making this a really comfortable and homely place to stay.

The pretty, rose-covered, weather-boarded exterior will certainly catch your eye as you venture up the front path.

Once inside you'll be won over by the charming character the cottage exudes, with its original features such as the beamed ceilings, yet all the comforts you'd expect from a contemporary home are there for you to enjoy.

Subtle tones dominate throughout adding to the feeling of tranquillity.

There is plenty to entertain here and you may find yourself whiling away more than a few hours in the games room with its pool table.

Outside you have third of an acre of garden and woodland to explore as well as a lovely pond to lounge by at the end of a busy day. Please note a starter pack of logs, kindling, firelighters and matches is included.

About the location

HEATHFIELD

Battle 12 miles; Royal Tunbridge Wells 14 miles; Bexhill on Sea 17 miles; Eastbourne 17 miles; Hastings 20 miles

Heathfield is a market town in Sussex known for it's annual fair the Heffle Cuckoo Fair each April, and the Heathfield Show which takes place each May. Its busy town centre offers an assortment of shops, takeaways, restaurants and pubs. One of the most popular visitor attractions in the area is the Cuckoo Trail, a shared track for walkers and cyclists, with horses allowed on some of the sections. An extension has also been constructed to the south into Eastbourne and the trail has become part of National Cycle Network Route 21. Scattered around Heathfield are several towns, villages and hamlets including Rushlake Green with its picturesque village green and quaint looking pub serving excellent local food. For a day out to remember why not visit Rudyard Kipling's home Batemans, which is located at Burwash. This National Trust property is very much how Rudyard Kipling and his wife Carrie left it, with this beautiful 17th century house providing a much needed sanctuary to this world-famous writer. With so much to do inland you could be overlooking how close the coastline is to Heathfield. With Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill on Sea all less than a 30 minute drive you should leave a day to beachcomb your way along the shoreline and savour the salty air as it braces you ready to enjoy a visit to The Stade art gallery in Hastings or The De La Warr Pavilion with its exhibitions and music events in Bexhill on Sea. Tunbridge Wells is also a 25 minute drive away with its Georgian and Victorian architecture. With so many exciting places to visit and things to do and see within a short distance means Heathfield is a secret no longer!

Note: Children should be supervised outside due to unfenced pond.
