Mr Hope
The house was perfect for a great family BIG birthday weekend. Everyone had their own space and yet the living area was perfect for us all to get together. The 4 bathrooms made the logistics so much easier than normal. There is plenty of parking space for several cars. The little ones enjoyed going to stroke the horses. The owners were very kind and helpful. Sedlescombe is a nice village with a good pub, The Queen's Head.
