It was very clean, comfortable, cosy, and extremely well equipped. Alan was a very friendly, helpful but unobtrusive host. Thank you for the very useful welcome basket. The cottage is very well placed with just a short walk to shops, restaurants and pubs. Battle Abbey was an easy walk away and there were many visitor attractions within a 30 or 40 minute drive.
