About this property
Hellingly 2.6 miles. This immaculately presented, superbly located, detached holiday home has its own hot tub and is set in the owner's 10 acre grounds overlooking the beautiful Sussex countryside close to the village of Hellingly. An ideal cottage for couples either looking for a romantic getaway or those wanting a longer holiday with lovely walks right from their doorstep, quaint villages with interesting histories to visit, coastal resorts within easy driving distance, or just a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Luxuriously appointed throughout, Pump House has been transformed by the owners into a spacious, contemporary self-catering holiday cottage where guests can enjoy time together. The open plan living area with its sumptuous seating is perfect for settling down with a good book or a DVD and a glass of wine in the evening. The modern fitted kitchen with its well positioned breakfast bar lets you start the day enjoying the lovely views over the Sussex countryside. If you are bringing a dog with you on your holiday, then a place below the breakfast bar has been specially left large enough for any size of dog bed! The attractive bedroom also benefits from having a separate dressing room next door, so debating what to wear can be done in private, while your other half enjoys a longer lie-in. Outside, guests have their own enclosed garden with views over glorious countryside, but adding even more appeal is the hot tub where you can relax, chat and enjoy all that this very special place has to offer. Enjoy a long day exploring the sights and sounds of this part of Sussex, walk the Cuckoo Trail winding its way along 14 miles of the former Cuckoo Line railway track, clamber over castle ruins at Hastings or Rye, visit the gardens and grounds at Herstmonceux castle, take in the site of the majestic Battle Abbey, or maybe just have a relaxing paddle at Bexhill-on-Sea. Pump House is the perfect holiday cottage at anytime of year.
Hellingly is a quiet village in the heart of Sussex ideally situated for exploring the Sussex countryside and the coast. The most important part of the village is its church which was started in 1190 and has been built on the only remaining undamaged ciric in Sussex. A ciric is a circular Celtic burial ground, built above ground to ensure the graves are kept dry. This location is particularly popular with walkers and cyclists due to the famous Cuckoo Trail.

Would of given it 5 stars if the garden was accessible from the house (not good early hours of the morning when the dogs needed to go out ) or to get to the hot tub which was preset at 37 degrees which was not quite hot enough for us In the October temperatures
