Guests say
The Cowshed in Herstmonceux is highly praised for its peaceful setting, high standard of furnishings, and suitability for guests with mobility issues. The rural location is ideal for exploring Sussex and the coast, with guests enjoying the property's cleanliness, comfort, and the warm welcome provided by the owners. The presence of a local pub adds to the charm, although its current status is unclear.
Guests consistently mention the property being spotlessly clean, indicating a very high level of cleanliness throughout the accommodation.
The location is appreciated for its rural charm, quietness, and proximity to attractions, although travel on changeover days and the status of the local pub have been noted as concerns.
The comfort of the property is frequently highlighted, with specific mentions of its suitability for guests with mobility issues and the overall relaxing atmosphere.
Facilities are described as well-equipped and thoughtfully adapted for disabled guests. However, there is a single mention of beds being too firm or too soft, which slightly impacts the score.
The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident from the welcome treats and the property's design for accessibility. While gifts are mentioned, such as a laid tea tray, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

This property is in an ideal spot for touring places of interest in E Sussex. It was ideal for my disabled husband with every amenity catered for. It is furnished to a very high specification & had everything needed for a comfortable holiday & lovely surrounding countryside. The local nearby pub serves delicious food as does the Indian restaurant in Herstmonceux. We had a very enjoyable holiday!

Although we are all able-bodied, we could see the care and attention put into making this an accessible cottage and would definitely recommend this to friends who are less mobile. A very peaceful and beautiful location.
