Enjoyed a lovely relaxing break at The Nest Danehill. It was very comfortable and had lots of thoughtful extras, lovely toiletries, games, books and dvds.

I would highly recommend a stay in The Nest. It's in a beautiful, peaceful location with a choice of walks on the doorstep. Serena the host couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful - recommending some nearby excellent pubs and restaurants, as well as local walks. The Nest is fully equipped, and beautifully and tastefully decorated. Everything is of high quality from the toiletries to the bedding and furnishings with some lovely additional touches. We took our small dog which was perfect, but wouldn't recommend it for those with large dogs. I look forward to returning in the future.Posted on Google![]()

Thank you Serena for another wonderful stay. We were able to chill out for a few days in what has been for us a hectic summer. The Nest is perfectly placed for going to Glyndebourne - approximately half an hour away - and very well equipped for the all-important Glyndebourne picnic with a good-sized fridge and a freezer. Its very close to M&S Food at Maresfield too! I am sure we will be back next year. Sarah and MichaelPosted on Google![]()

Highly recommended the local pub for fantastic food and just a very short walk away. Chicken and chick pea curry was delicious! If you're looking for a place to relax and recharge this is the place.

We loved everything about staying at the Nest. We arrived and we're greeted by the owner in the most friendly and helpful way. The Nest is immaculate, beautifully decorated, with everything one would expect and more. The attention to detail sings out. The location is wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. We pottered up to the local pub for an excellent birthday meal and sat in the most gorgeous beer garden looking out over the hills of Sussex. We did superb walks through Sheffield Forest and never needed to use the car after arrival. We did, however, use it to go to Ashdown Park Spa for a relaxing treat day. Only 10 mins away! I cannot recommend this property more highly. For a couple, it offers the perfect romantic hideaway but in easy reach of London and the beaches of the Sussex coast... and yes, I did swim in the sea on my birthday! We look forward to returning, thank you.+1Posted on Google![]()

A wonderful place to spend a few peaceful and lovely days. Serena is so lovely – she even went out and got us some pizzas on the first evening, after we’d had a rather unexpectedly tiring and long journey. She’s a real sweetheart! The cottage is quieter than we expected and in a lovely spot. Ideal for trips to the many attractions. A car is an advantage – but you can also simply go for lots of long and fantastic walks from here. We stayed for a week – which, in hindsight, turned out to be far too short. Next time we’ll stay a few days longer – we promise! Warmest regards from Peter and TrudiPosted on Google![]()

A truly sweet spot in the middle of Winnie the Pooh country! ☺ The cottage is very sweet and comfortable. The kitchen is fully outfitted and Serena kindly left bread, milk and butter so we wouldn’t need to go back out for groceries. The bed was comfortable, the walk outside the cottage was charming. There is a pub that is a 2 minute walk away that served wonderful meals. The directions and information for the Nest and surrounding areas were excellent! Detailed walking instructions, restaurants, to do in the area. It was impressive how much detail was provided. We felt well taken care of. ☹ Took us a minute to figure out the best way to back down the drive to park. It’s totally manageable just take your time.Posted on Google![]()

DOG FRIENDLY STAY AT THE NEST DANEHILL I apologise this may well be the longest review I’ve ever given , but I have to say how outstandingly beautiful The Nest was. We stayed over the May bank holiday weekend and truly didn’t want to leave 🥹 There were so many extra fine touches, including books, games, DVDs, and blankets to wrap yourself in while sitting outside in the private garden area. The kitchen was well stocked and so well equipped to cook almost anything you wished. We had contacted Serena, host of The Nest, last year after seeing it on our Ashdown Forest on-line searches🪵🌳🍃of places to stay. I remember thinking it would be such a shame if it’s not dog friendly as let’s face it the location is a haven for dog walkers! I asked if Serena would consider making it a dog friendly accommodation as I so wanted to stay there and we found it hard in the surrounding area to find something nearly as good. We have Ted a small-medium terrier 🐶 and he literally goes everywhere with us… It was a true delight to learn that in fact Serena had now made The Nest dog friendly and wow it truly didn’t disappoint! On arrival we were met by Serena who was very welcoming and kindly talked us through some house rules which should be respected when bringing your pet. There is a pet policy in place that guests need to agree to prior to making a booking so that it ensures a clear understanding of what to expect and a happy stay for dog owners and their furry friends. We appreciated the space around us, and we had taken our own dog essentials and bedding. The small private garden accessed at the foot of the external staircase has faux grass in the first section so not a problem for toileting to walk Ted to the end of the garden, along the lane or into the woods which are on your doorstep. The stunning landscape soon takes hold of you... There’s also a gorgeous, village gastro pub The Coach & Horses just up the lane that’s also dog friendly and a short walk away, we sat outside in the lovely beer garden with Ted.🌳 All in all, The Nest was such a stunning idyllic woodland retreat for myself, my husband, but more importantly my Ted who absolutely loved it 🐶as much as we did! Thank you The Nest 🕊️we will return, see you soon 🫶+7Posted on Booking![]()

From the moment we arrived at The Nest Danehill, we knew we’d found something truly special. Nestled in the tranquil woodland on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, the cottage combines luxury, comfort and nature in perfect harmony. The host's welcome was lovely and made us feel right at home! Location & Setting: The setting is dreamy, the cottage is tucked down a quiet country lane in the charming village of Danehill, surrounded by trees and with idyllic views of the forest beyond. The accomodation is quiet, private, and beautifully maintained. Waking up to birdsong and forest views each morning was pure bliss. Interior & Comfort: Inside, the design is superb: luxurious furnishings, high-quality finishes, thoughtful touches and a cosy atmosphere. It felt like a home-from-home, but elevated. The open-plan living space, the super comfy bed, the cozy sofa, the stylish kitchen all add to the sense of luxury and comfort. Amenities & Extras: There’s a lovely private garden with outdoor seating, which we sadly didn’t get a chance to use during our stay, but it looked like the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening surrounded by trees. The cottage also has everything you could possibly need, from a very well-equipped kitchen & bathroom to really reliable WiFi. Suitability: Whether you’re there for a romantic getaway, a small family holiday (if you use the sofabed), or simply a quiet short-break to reset, it ticks every box. The location gives peace and quiet, yet you’re not remote from amenities or transport links. Overall Experience: Our stay at The Nest Danehill was exceptional. The wonderful setting, the meticulous detail inside, the comfort of the cottage and the natural beauty surrounding it all combined to make our break unforgettable. We left feeling relaxed, uplifted and with some wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a luxurious woodland retreat with style, comfort and nature on your doorstep this is it. Five stars, no hesitation.Posted on Google![]()

Before our arrival we had clear instructions for The Nest. We immediately fell in love with the keen eye to detail that Serena has put into The Nest. Everything is perfect and we felt relaxed immediately. We found the settee very comfortable, the bed was a dream with pillows we wanted to take home! (We didn't lol!) The toiletries were plentiful - just like a spa with a shower that made us feel so relaxed. We loved the skylight window that made the pear tree above cast dancing shadows. (2 pears fell in the night which scared me to death but afterwards we laughed about the situation with Serena😂) The kitchen is full with anything and everything to create your signature dish. The windows opens out fully and during our stay the budlia tree flowers were full of butterflies. We sat outside in most of our weeks stay with candles and fairy lights with a glass of wine. Parking is behind electric gates - very secure. The pub nearby is handy to walk to. We visited Rye a beautiful town. The Great Dixter Gardens - absolutely wonderful. Maria's Cafe cook the best breakfast - top quality ingredients put together with love. Serena told us a few other towns/villages/areas to see.+46Posted on Airbnb![]()

Super host covers all bases ☺ What is not to like. From opening the door everything was perfect. The settee is very comfortable - important to relax fully. The bed - oh wow - perfect and the pillows (we wanted to pinch them and keep them! JOKING.) The bathroom and the shower was perfect - lovely temp / easy to use. The toiletries were so right with super soft towels and dressing gowns. Lots of games , books and DVDs were supplied - oh I wish I could stay 1 month!! We've never stayed in a place where the kitchen had all the bits you need to make that meal special. Everything in the kitchen was spotless and a delight to use. The windows both in the kitchen opened outward and it was great to hear the birds in the morning and night. The property is behind locked electric gates accessed via a code - so safe and peaceful. During our first night we walked left to the top of the lane to observe some deer but although we went every evening we didn't see them again. The pub just around the corner was lovely to sit in the beer garden. Serena you are a super host. We both feel we've known you all our lives. If we're in the area we definitely will return. If you're ever in Yorkshire please let's meet up. A visit to the bridge Pooh played Sticks 👍 Rye 👍 Great Dixter Gardens 👍 Maria's Cafe - fantastic cooked breakfast 👍 ☹ For some people there's steps going up to the door.

Wat een knusse studio met een keukentje beneden, in een prachtige omgeving. Gastvrouw Serena is uiterst vriendelijk en doet er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. De communicatie was vriendelijk en snel. We waren wat later maar dat was geen probleem en we konden onszelf binnenlaten. Alles is echt schoon en fris, een overmaat aan handdoeken, zeepjes, etc. Een kleine keuken met alles wat je nodig hebt, een brood, melk, boter, water, Nespresso, etc. Echt top. De waterval-kraan in de badkamer ziet er mooier uit dan hij praktisch is en het bed is wat smaller waardoor de nacht wat onrustiger verliep maar dat is omdat wij een breed bed gewend zijn. Alles was prachtig opgemaakt, ook de sofa waar de kinderen heerlijk geslapen hebben. Onze telefoon had totaal geen enkel bereik maar de Wifi doet het wel goed. Is een bed van 1.60 meter breed geen probleem voor jullie, dan is dit een enorme aanrader! Zeker als je het de enorme hoeveelheid aan bezienswaardigheden in de directe omgeibng wilt bezoeken zoals Ashdown Forest en bijvoorbeeld naar het 100-acre bos wilt (honderd bunder bos) en uitstapjes wilt maken naar de bezienswaardigheden van Winnie de Pooh zoals Pooh's Corner (excellent high tea!), Pooh Sticks Bridge, etc.Posted on Google![]()

Our stay at The Nest was idyllic. Serena was there to meet us when we arrived and provided us with the warmest of welcomes. She showed us the accommodation and explained the features and appliances, as well as giving us some local recommendations for restaurants, shops and trips out. Serena also made sure we knew to contact her should we need anything else. The accommodation itself is beautiful. It looks even better than the pictures show and contains everything you could need. The view from The Nest is picturesque and the surrounding area is very peaceful. I can't recommend The Nest enough.

Serena also made sure we knew to contact her should we need anything else. We were delighted to find bread, milk, butter, biscuits, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, cereal, toiletries and other essentials already provided!The accommodation itself is beautiful. It looks even better than the pictures show and contains everything you could need. The view from The Nest is picturesque and the surrounding area is very peaceful. I can't recommend The Nest enough. Serena is an exceptional host who has gone to great lengths to create such a wonderful space in which to spend a few days of calm.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Nest to anyone who wishes to explore the stunning Sussex countryside.Posted on Google![]()

Thank you for a wonderful stay at The Nest! We were welcomed warmly at the property and given a thorough run through of not only everything we needed to know about the accommodation, but also the local area too, such as restaurants and walks nearby. The property itself was spotlessly clean and I do mean SPOTLESS - it is abundantly clear how much pride is taken in providing a beautiful place to stay. So many small things had been thought of, like basic groceries provided, and it just made our stay every bit better. We will definitely be back!Posted on Google![]()

Have just returned from a lovely relaxing break at The Nest, Danehill in Sussex. The Nest is set in a private idyllic location overlooking Ashdown Forest with amazing views of the countryside and forest - and the perfect location for bird watching and wildlife. The Nest is a luxurious retreat created with stylish interior design - and caters for your every need. The bespoke 4 poster bed with crisp Egyptian cotton and luxurious bedding is the comfiest bed that I have ever slept in. It is dreamy! The Nest is the perfect venue to relax, unwind, and recharge your batteries in beautiful tranquil surroundings. Thank you, Serena, for your kindness. Tim and I have really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning in the near future. ChrissyPosted on Google![]()

This was our second visit and so lovely to see the Sussex and Kent countryside in the spring. Yet again Serena was a fabulous host, making us feel immediately at home and providing us with all the information and recommendations we needed to make the most of our stay. The Nest is fitted out with many home comforts and is ideally located if you are looking for peace and quiet surrounded by trees and nature. Since our last visit a fireplace has been added and an extension to the garden area where you can sit out and enjoy the peace and quiet and listen to and watch the birds, including the owls in the evening.Posted on Google![]()

As we like walking holidays in the UK we are always looking for nice places to stay. We found “The Nest” online and the photo’s looked very nice. We have to say that the photo’s give a very honest view, it is even more beautiful than we thought it would be. The Nest” is truely a gem!.Everything you could possibly think of (and more) is there. The Nest is beautifully decorated. The bed and bedding are amazing. Just like the fully equipped bathroom with luxurious towels and bathrobes. And to top it all off, The Nest also has a super-fast internet connection, ampel parking space and a lovely “Secret Garden”.Needless to say but the accomodation was impeccably clean. Host Serena was very welcoming and thoughtful. She even thought about phoning us in advance to ask if we needed any groceries like milk or bread. How considerate! The area is beautiful and we enjoyed a full weeks stay. We had a wonderful time, loved everything about this place and therefore we will definatelly be back!!Posted on Google![]()

Beautifully stunning place to stay. We loved everything about The Nest! The decor was gorgeous and it felt really cosy, blissfully quiet and a real treat to stay in. We were attending a race weekend at Pippingford so the location was perfect for us to get to during multiple races. Once it was time to kick back and relax The Nest offered us everything we needed to rest and recover, walking distance to the local pub which was superb and a great base for exploring.

Elegant, very comfortable rural accommodation, with a friendly host. ☺ We liked ....the artistic decor and modern furnishings ( our host Sereena is a professonal) We loved the surroundings /views of Sereena's pretty leafy natural garden and the local woods. A clever purpose built living space above a large garage. ☹ We were surprised to discover that our accommodation was only accessible UP a steep outside wooden staircase, with awkward access. ( We are 2 agile over 80's!!) As we were staying 5 nights Sereena kindly installed an additional support by the stairs to make access easier. Also the ground level galley kitchen was only accessible by stairs DOWN from the living area on the upper floor.Posted on Google![]()

We were desperate for a break; for some space in our minds; for some time together - alone. Serena's Nest and the glorious weather provided exactly what we needed. It is beautifully deigned and decorated, spotlessly clean and of high quality. Serena, herself, was an easy and accommodating host, keen that we should enjoy. During the three days we were there, we visited the lovely little towns of Lewes and Arundel, imbibed some history, wandered through antique stalls and walked amongst the sheep on Cliffe Hill. We even spent an afternoon on the promenade by Brighton Beach. Thank you Serena for - dare I? - a serene few days.Posted on Google![]()

The property is immaculate, very thoughtfully furnished. The owner has gone over and above to make you feel welcome with milk, bread and butter provided - along with the necessities such as tea, coffee, jams etc. One of the wonderful features of the property is that as it is nestled in amongst the trees the views from the windows make you feel as if you are in a tree house - beautiful. Of course a trip to the local pub The Coach and Horses Danehill (only a 2 minute walk) had to be included on our trip - fantastic food as always.

PERFECT FOR BUSINESS AND SHORT STAY PERFECT FOR BUSINESS TRIP AND REMOTE WORKING I stayed at The Nest whilst attending a business seminar in Haywards Heath and Brighton. I was working from the property for some of the stay and found the peaceful surroundings and convenient location to be ideal. There was free, fast, reliable broadband essential for my work and a dedicated workspace in the dining area. The Nest is self-contained and very private, well equipped with everything you would need for a working from home environment. It was great to be able to return to such a comfortable, relaxing place and much nicer than being in a hotel as it provided complete privacy without any interruptions. It has a fully laden kitchen, but when I wanted to eat out, The Coach & Horses pub was only a 2 mins walk away, so very handy. There is also an excellent choice of Indian, Italian, Thai restaurants in Nutley and Forest Row within 8-12 mins drive that also did takeaway, so very convenient. Would highly recommend and would definitely return for work or indeed a holiday!Posted on Google![]()

Wonderful family holiday I took my grandson to Sussex during the school holidays as a treat and we stayed at The Nest for 7 days. It certainly lived up to its name being nestled under the pear tree and we had a such a super time. As soon as we arrived, we felt right at home with a warm welcome from Serena. The accommodation was of 5-star quality and very well appointed, it felt spacious yet cosy and was so private, with its own little garden. We loved exploring the Ashdown Forest and my grandson adored the Winnie the Pooh connection. There were some cuddly toys and pictures at The Nest to help set the scene - he was greeted by Eeyore and Piglet sitting on the double sofa bed ready to cuddle, a lovely touch by the host! Some local maps were also provided.There was a good selection of children’s books, a few DVDs, Netflix and Freesat TV and some family board games that came in handy! We enjoyed having a cream tea on the Bluebell Railway and playing Pooh Sticks in Hartfield 15 mins away after visiting Pooh Corner, a lovely little place full of A A Milne memorabilia. There are many National Trust properties in the area,so we visited Wakehurst Botanical Gardens and Borde Hill Gardens. We went to Eastbourne seafront and the historic village of Alfriston for a day out that took us about 50 mins in the car. Ardingly Reservoir Activity Centre is also well worth a visit. We found Danehill to be conveniently located for countryside and town excursions with lots to see and do. Thank you for a memorable and happy stay!Posted on Google![]()

We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing weekend break at The Nest. The cottage itself was immaculate and had everything that we could ask for. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essential cooking utensils, as well as some bread, milk, coffee pods, etc, which was a nice touch. The bathroom was modern and the shower was incredible. The beautiful four poster bed also deserves a special mention - it was so comfy! The cottage is surrounded by so much natural beauty and it was lovely to wake up each morning with a lovely view of nearby woodland. Additionally, being so close to the Ashdown Forest, there are so many country walks that take you through some truly breathtaking landscape. Some of the best walking routes are listed in a folder that the owner, Serena, has kindly provided. We would also definitely recommend visiting the Coach and Horses pub (2 minute walk away). The food here was beautiful and the atmosphere was great. It’s the perfect place to order a few drinks, sit by the fire, and rest after a long day of walking. In summary, we had a wonderful stay at The Nest and have fallen in love with this part of the world. Thank you, Serena, we hope to visit again in the future.Posted on Google![]()

The Nest is a lovely little apartment in a very quiet location which I would thoroughly recommend. Immaculately clean and tidy and great privacy and even had its own little garden. Everything in the apartment is good quality and the bed and pillows are extremely comfortable. I do not think I have ever slept so well, the first night in a new bed. The apartment has absolutely everything you could need, whether staying for one night or one week - fully equipped kitchen (with all utensils you could need, milk, butter, jams, filtered water, etc. and even had its own washing machine), toiletries in the bathroom, a TV where you can sign into your own subscription services, throws and blankets to stay warm on a cold night. The owner Serena was very helpful with great communication ahead of time and she met us at arrival and again at checkout but otherwise left us to ourselves. The kitchen has everything so if you want to cook, you can. However if you prefer to eat out, the Coach and Horses pub is a 2min walk away and does very good food. Nutley is a short drive away and there are a few places to eat there or plenty of other places within easy reach. If you want to walk and enjoy the countryside, there are plenty of walks nearby and maps available in the flat to help you navigate the surrounding areas. There was nothing we did not like, but we have two recommendations. (1) The floor can get a little cold (we stayed during winter) so bring some thick socks or slippers. (2) Relates to access - if you have a small car, you will be fine, but if your car is on the larger side, it is best to reverse into the driveway.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing weekend break at The Nest. The cottage itself was immaculate and had everything that we could ask for. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essential cooking utensils, as well as some bread, milk, coffee pods, etc, which was a nice touch. The bathroom was modern and the shower was incredible. The beautiful four poster bed also deserves a special mention - it was so comfy! The cottage is surrounded by so much natural beauty and it was lovely to wake up each morning with a lovely view of nearby woodland. Additionally, being so close to the Ashdown Forest, there are so many country walks that take you through some truly breathtaking landscape. Some of the best walking routes are listed in a folder that the owner, Serena, has kindly provided. In summary, we had a wonderful stay at The Nest and have fallen in love with this part of the world. Thank you, Serena, we hope to visit again in the future.Posted on Booking![]()

The forest is in 5 minutes walk, we saw a deer 🦌 The next night was thunderstorm which made us feel so cozy in this little house. Also Serena left some bread, milk, butter that were very kind of her. There is safe private car parking on the side where I put my motorcycle. Everything is tidy and beautiful. We are very grateful for this opportunity to rest in such a lovely place. We enjoyed our visit. Highly recommended! Thank you!Kind regards,Helen&EmmaPosted on Booking![]()

We stayed at The Nest for three nights and immediately felt at home. The place is exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, with nice furnishings and excellent storage making it a real home from home. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need to cook with in terms of utensils and pans, the basics of oil, salt and pepper which you would expect, along with bread, coffee, tea, milk and butter which was a nice touch. The bathroom was well stocked with products, and a lovely big bath to soak in after a day of walking was welcomed. Serena was an excellent host, from efficient communication before and during our stay to providing recommendations for local places to eat and drink and things to do. We had a Indian take away from Hathi, a short drive away which was excellent and a meal out at the local pub, the Coach and Horses where the food was beautifully cooked. Serena recommended some excellent walks in the surrounding countryside, with clear to follow circular routes shared starting from The Nest. Along with some ideas for things to do resulting in us attending a charity event with live music and street food at the local Bluebell Vineyard which was good fun. We loved our stay at The Nest and are already talking about going back in the autumn for more walks and to visit Sheffield Park. Highly recommend booking this wonderful home from home. We booked via the hosts own website and found this to be very efficient.+6Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had a great stay for four nights at the Nest. The Nest itself was incredibly comfortable, especially the bed, and the place was immaculately decorated throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed and had also been stocked with some goods before arrival, which we were very grateful for. The location is amazing, we have never been anywhere so peaceful and quiet. Our host was really helpful on arrival and then provided us with great privacy.

We stayed at The Nest Danehill in Sussex for a long weekend to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and it was the perfect spot to destress. The friendly and helpful owner greeted us to do a handover and we were delighted when we saw the beautiful woodland setting and the high standard of interior design and furnishings. There is a gorgeous four poster bed, luxurious bathroom, a lovely bright and comfortable open plan sitting room with a dining/work area with great views to the nearby woods and a very well-equipped kitchen downstairs. The WiFi was excellent. The smallest details had been thought of to ensure we had a home from home experience with everything that we needed for our stay and it felt very private. We had a delicious supper at the Coach & Horses country pub with real ales and only a very short stroll up the lane! We found some wonderful walks on public footpaths across the footbridge into the woods straight from The Nest and walked to the glorious Ashdown Forest and did some cycling around the area. Brighton was only 45 mins by car, and we had an afternoon on the beach and dinner at Brighton Marina that was great fun. We also enjoyed a visit to the famous Bluebell Steam Railway in nearby Sheffield Park. We went to a concert and had dinner at Trading Boundaries 10 mins away which was fabulous. There was basically so much to do in the area that we needed more time but were equally happy just to enjoy the peaceful space of the property and its small private garden. We couldn’t fault The Nest in any way and didn’t want to leave so would highly recommend and hope to return soon!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

We had a lovely three-night stay at The Nest, for a short writing retreat. It's a beautiful, private apartment, with a lovely bathroom and bedroom, and a kitchen stocked with everything you could need to cook. The location is incredible, so remote and peaceful, yet very accessible by public transport (we don't drive so got the train to Hayward's Heath) from London, and Brighton. Beautiful old pub around the corner, and the garden is right at the start of footpaths into the forest. Stunning, peaceful walks all around! Everything in the apartment is good quality and immaculately clean, as well as tastefully decorated. Perfect place to get out of the city for a few days!Posted on Booking![]()

What a wonderful stay we had here at The Nest. We could not recommend this little retreat more! Serena was the perfect host and so accommodating. Everywhere was beautifully presented and if you have children, our daughter spent hours playing in the eaves cupboards which housed her favorite Winnie the Pooh teddies and some lovely books. The setting is so picturesque and perfect for a little countryside getaway. Thank you Serena for a truly magical time!Posted on Google![]()

I stayed at The Nest on the night before my wedding with one of my bridesmaids & it was an absolute dream! Serena was so incredibly kind, she made sure that even the little things were ready for us like the sofa bed, milk in the fridge & all of the wi-fi passwords/codes etc were ready for us to set up & connect to. I got ready there on the morning of my wedding & had lots of people in & out & Serena basically made sure that I had absolutely nothing to do other than relax. The space was clear so that all of my lovely team could set up immediately with no issues. Although the cottage isn’t the largest, it feels incredibly spacious & open & airy. I was worried about people tripping over each other or feeling a little claustrophobic but we had no issue at all. It was an absolute delight to stay there & me & my husband will definitely be back.Posted on Booking![]()

sehr liebevoll und sehr geschmackvoll ausgestattetes Appartment in schöner Umgebung ☺ Sehr schönes kleines Appartment auf zwei Ebenen - "unten" ist eine vollausgestattete Küche inklusive Sitzplatz für zwei mit Blick in den Garten. Kaffeeautomat, Wasserkocher, Toaster, Herd, Backofen.... eben alles was man so braucht. Im Kühlschrank schon ein kleines Willkommen: Frische Milch, Butter und Käse. Und im Vorratschrank neben den Standard-Gewürzen auch Honig, Marmelade, Cornflakes und Bio-Müsli. "Oben" der Wohnraum, eine gemütliche Sitzecke, ein Tisch für 4 Personen und das Himmelbett. Toll waren hier die unter der Dachschräge eingebauten Schränke - viel Platz für alles was man im Urlaub so dabei hat und verstauen möchte. Das Bad war hell - Dachfenster, d.h. Tageslicht!- und mit Dusche und Wanne sehr schön ausgestattet. Serena ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin - sehr aufmerksam aber nicht aufdringlich. Sie hat uns gute Vorschläge gemacht und im Appartment gibt es eine schöne Auswahl an "Reiseführern" für die Umgebung. Fussläufig ist ein wirklich schöner Pub - innen urig und mit einem riesigen Garten. Freundiches Personal und einfach sehr gutes Essen. Wir haben das Appartment auch als "Ausgangspunkt" für unsere zwei Abende in Glyndebourne genutzt. Die Fahrzeit beträgt ca. 30min über Land! Wir haben uns von lokalen "Carhire" hin- und wieder zurück fahren lassen. Auch hier hat alles gepasst und unsere Gastgeberin hat uns hier hervorragend unterstützt. ☹ Wir waren leider zu kurz da :-) und hatten deswegen zuwenig Zeit die Wanderwege auszuprobieren. Ansonsten gab es unserer Meinung nach nichts zu meckern.Posted on Airbnb![]()

Surprised to have found such a gem here at booking.com. It definitely made my stay so much more enjoyable! ☺ A little late on the review, but I don't want to miss out the opportunity to review on how nice my trip to this location was. It's actually called the Nest and it felt rightly so. I was there for a week of training in Burgess Hill. It all started before arriving there, when Serena (the lovely host) sent me a link to where the location was, because without it, it would've been a bit of a challenge to get there. So, the Navigation link was very comfortable for me. Thank you Serena! Upon arrival, I was greeted by the host and she took me to the apartment to explain how everything works. First impression is that it looks so comfortable, clean, cozy and no funny odors or whatsoever. Immediately I felt at home. You can see that Serena's background of being an interior designer really pays off when seeing the place. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen was stocked!! (Bread, butter, jams, coffee, tea, etc...etc...) All was there! The bathroom is so clean and nice and having a sofa to relax after a long day of work is satisfying. Of course there's a table too when I had to get back to work. While working, I’ve enjoyed the fastest WiFi speed I’ve ever had away from home! All in all, I felt lucky to have found the Nest. I can imagine bringing my family here for a vacation too. The place is suitable for two adults with a small child. But for couples, this is excellent! The surrounding is beautiful. Hayward Heath is a few miles away if you want to find many different restaurants or cafe's. So, everything is pretty much within comfortable reach to make the stay enjoyable. Hope to come back in the future! ☹ Nothing!Posted on Booking![]()
