Grooms Cottage is the perfect base to explore 1066 country, with the historic town of Battle a few miles distant; Rye and the Romney marsh a little further. Also with easy reach are the historic spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells, the seaside resorts of Hastings, Bexhill and Eastbourne and the county town of Lewes. For a day out, the City of Brighton and Hove has much to interest everyone. Pretty villages with their ancient churches nestle in the landscape as they have for hundreds of years.

Our home, which we have painstakingly modernised, restored and extended in recent years, is set in a beautiful traditional English garden, which we have created to satisfy our love for plants. In our pond we are thrilled that a colony of rare Greater Crested Newts have taken up residence. Guests are welcome to stroll and relax in the garden, enjoying the stunning views and plethora of plants. On warm sunny mornings, we can also serve your breakfast on the terrace.

A frequent comment from people staying the night at Grooms Cottage for the first time, is how quiet and dark it is at night, one of the benefits of our rural location. Follow a sound sleep with a wonderful locally sourced breakfast and you are assured of a pleasurable break in the Sussex countryside.
