Description
Spend a blissful week in the English countryside! Stable Cottage and Upper Stables sit a stone's throw away from the sea on the 70 acre grounds of a large country house and can accommodate up to two families. This is the perfect location for exploring the Sussex Coast and some of England's numerous historic sites and National Trust properties, as well as some of its finest gardens including Sissinghurst and Great Dixter.
The cottages are located in Fairlight and are 10 minutes from the Victorian seaside resort of Hastings and its famous fish markets; fifteen minutes from England's prettiest village, Rye; just over an hour away by train from central London; and half an hour from the Eurostar terminal at Ashford, which takes you to Paris in 90 minutes. Stable Cottage has its own private courtyard as well as two bathrooms. Upper Stables has a large sun deck, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Both cottages have full sitting rooms and eat-in kitchens, as well as TV, stereo, DVD players and outdoor barbeques. Guests are welcome to use the tennis court, indoor swimming pool, and fully equipped gymnasium. There are four llamas, six pigs, 12 chickens, five dogs, and two cats on the property.
