Ellenhall

Beautiful property with everything we needed and more. We stayed with two dogs, and they absolutely loved the private field opposite the cottage, which was perfect for early morning walks. The warm outdoor dog shower at the front of the house was a real highlight — especially after muddy adventures — and was an absolute lifesaver. The kitchen and dining area were fantastic and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need (special mention to the toaster, which was impressively speedy!). The dining table overlooks the garden and stream, creating a lovely setting for meals. The living room was incredibly cosy; we enjoyed lighting the fire each evening and spending time together playing board games as a family. We particularly loved the dandelion artwork. We also made good use of the snug during the day to relax and watch TV. The bedrooms were clean, cosy, and very comfortable. A lovely touch was the lower-than-average windows, which meant you could enjoy the views even while lying in bed. The shower in the master bedroom deserves a special mention — easily the best shower we have ever used, powerful and wonderfully luxurious. We visited both The White Dog and The Cross Inn, which were recommended in the brochure, and both were cosy, welcoming, dog-friendly, and served great food — all within easy reach of the cottage. The wood-fired sauna was another standout feature and a huge hit with the whole family; we all felt incredibly relaxed and zen for hours afterwards. We highly recommend this property and are already talking about booking another stay. A truly wonderful place to relax and unwind....

This, by any measure, is an exceptional property, and the reality was even better than indicated by the online photos. If you want a well equipped, characterful property with a massive amount of outdoor space then this is for you!

This is a beautiful house, full of character and in an idyllic setting. Has everything for a perfect stay.

Ellenhall is a special place - beautifully positioned and surrounded by nature (the acers were just changing colour and looked magnificent). The cottage is cosy and very well equipped so we were comfortable and looked forward to returning after a day’s exploring. It is well positioned for visiting several magnificent gardens such as Great Dixter, characterful towns like Battle and the Sussex coast. ...

A lovely spacious cottahe set in beautiful woodland down a quiet lane. Equipped with everything one could want, with bags of lovely hot water. Lovely garden mix of colour and natural wildness - and what a thoughtful touch to supply bird food for the numerous bird feeders outside the kitchen window! Lots of interesting reading, specially on wildlife and trees. Only drawback was the lack of light suitable for reading, specially in the snug. ...
