    .....having to leave!

    The vineyard, the geese, the chickens, the complimentary delicious and fresh breakfast left outside yr door like a secret present (if you go downstairs early you can smell the fresh baking), the plush common room where we drank cocktails and played Scrabble and said hello to the other guests. We loved the lovely, friendly host Shannon. We loved looking around the working fishing fleet in Hastings, and riding the funicular railway to the country park, and moules in the old town, and watching the sunset at the far end of the bay.....

    Just suggestions rather than complaints, but a shelf above the bathroom sink would be welcome, and a soap holder in the shower to avoid having to keep all toiletries on the floor. Also an extension lead from the floor-level power socket to allow you to boil the kettle on the table rather than on the floor

    Nice-sized room with great view, friendly welcome, charming environment with horses, ducks, geese and chickens, complimentary breakfast delivered outside your room a nice touch

    Erm all really nice actually but note no tv in room but I had my laptop. there is a large living room with sofas and tv though.

    Host Shannon really lovely, spacious room, quiet night and good sleep, love seeing the animals and the veg and the budding vineyard. Breakfast was brought to room. Tea and coffee in room. Nice shower. Very friendly to my dog. Parking. I was able to use the fridge for some fresh food I had brought with me first day. Near Sedlescombe Rye camber sands and Lewes all the places I wanted to go to over weekend. Room has no tv so don’t forget to bring your iPad or laptop.

    A comfortable and gracious house and grounds, with a very welcoming atmosphere.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The house is in a great location in beautiful countryside near to Hastings, but next to a fairly busy road so you can hear traffic noise if you have the windows open - especially first thing in the morning. It wasn't bad - just something to be aware of if you are sensitive to road noise. I had ear plugs so that was fine. My room also had double glazing so shutting the windows would have resolved things too.

    My room was amazingly spacious with wooden floors, an Oriental rug, a sofa and a very comfortable bed. There was a beautiful shared living room downstairs which opened onto a large deck and lawn. Watching the resident geese and chickens wander around was a bonus...as was the Help Yourself (via an Honesty box) home-made cake in the living room. All the staff were helpful and kind. A delightful continental breakfast was delivered to each room in a basket each morning - a cafetiere with fresh coffee and milk (plant based was an option), a savoury roll/pastry (I'm not sure what this was as it wasn't vegetarian so I didn't have it), a pain au chocolat, orange juice and a piece of fruit.

    The signage could be more visible when approaching from Dover; I whizzed past the left turn to the property at 50 mph and had to make a U-turn down the road.

    This was an amazing stop on our road trip. The facility was super nice, with on-site parking, large and spacious rooms, complimentary breakfast served in a basket right to your doorstep, and friendly people to talk to in the lobby. The garden view was just superb.

    Our stay was short, but good. Only slightly annoying thing I can think of is I couldn't find any power outlet close to the bed. As I recharge my phone at night and use my phone for my alarm clock, I had to charge the phone at a power outlet on the other side of the room and get out of bed to stop my phone's alarm in the morning.

    Friendly host who thinks in solutions. We arrived a lot later on the check in day because we were stranded for about 4 hours with car trouble, host thought along and arranged everything perfect for us despite our car trouble.

    The bathroom was separate from the room, but each room had its own bathroom. This was a very small thing. This palce is worth every penny (and more)

    A hidden gem. Fantastic value. One of the best guest houses I have stayed at. Lovely rooms and it has a really nice rustic feel.

    We had a lovely stay in the Guesting House. The room is charming and spacious. It's also very tastefully decorated, with a beautiful garden view. We enjoyed watching the friendly chickens wandering past our bedroom window. The shared lounge space is wonderful and so cosy. The location is good, beautiful surroundings and very close to Hastings. Not far from the Eurotunnel in Folkestone either. We found the complimentary breakfast basket was very tasty, and such a thoughtful touch. The dog friendliness is so much appreciated by us dog owners! A big thank you to the team at Guesting House for their kindness, and warm and welcoming service.
