This was our second stay at Heringaud and will be seeking to come again.It is in a wonderful location for exploring the Seven Sisters country park and the surrounding area with walks straight from the front door.

We have had a wonderful stay at Heringaud Barn. It is in a perfect spot, feeling remote but near the sea, forest and lovely walks immediately onto the coast path. Very peaceful and private. Carefully designed, comfortable and light, well equipped. Excellent if you have a little dog as the courtyard is enclosed and safe, a field to walk in very close. Also good for us with my elderly frail mother as all on one level. We felt history all around and the hamlet and church are very pretty, old and interesting. Farm shop full of goodies to take home! A generous basket of helpful bits for the dog, poo bags, treats etc and indulgent things...wine and homemade cake for us! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you...

A fantastic little cottage that is perfect for relaxing! The location makes it a great place for walking or exploring the locality a little further afield. Highly recommended.

Location, location, location! Wonderfully situated in a fold of beautiful, wooded Sussex downland, this is a peaceful and quiet spot but with good access to the lovely and unspoilt Cuckmere valley on the doorstep. Excellent pubs in the area and shops a short drive away in Seaford or Eastbourne. The cottage has everything you would look for with a comfortable lounge and beds. A generous welcome pack was provided by the owner. There is an only a courtyard garden but in the middle of such fine scenery and ideal walking countryside you will want to be out and about. We hope to return for a third visit next year....
