Retire to a well-presented king size bedroom with matching furniture, high ceilings and wooden beams. Start your day with a hot shower or a relaxing soak in the tub in the en-suite bathroom, whilst your towel warms up on the heated towel rail. Catsfield is a historic, peaceful village to call home during your stay in Sussex and a walker's paradise; venture into the surrounding countryside to explore the pristine landscapes of High Weald, stop of at Battle to discover the mediaeval ruins of Battle Abbey, before returning to Catsfield for dinner at The White Hart Inn. Take a drive to the thriving town of Bexhill, which offers a plethora of local attractions for tourists to enjoy; the De La Warr Pavilion is a modernist building from 1935 and has exhibitions on contemporary art with a bar and shop inside. Be sure to visit Egerton Park, which is located within a few minutes' walk of the seafront, offering a spacious area for you to enjoy lovely country walks, while your little ones play in the play-zone. Get involved with thrilling zip wires, climbing units, a tree house, sand area or opportunities for informal games of football or rounders, while Herstmonceux Castle, dating back to the 15th century and set in 600-acres of Elizabethan gardens, is perfect for some scenic walking with your partner. Just a short drive away from the property is the mediaeval village of Rye, which is picturesque and steeped in history with its half-timber buildings and cobbled streets to spend the afternoon wandering around. For coastal escape, Hastings is a short journey south to wander along the bustling pier with an ice cream in hand, take a dip in the sea at the pebble beach or head to the town's museum and art gallery for cultural delights. White Hart Stables offers a relaxing break in the heart of the countryside.
Catsfield is a quiet, rustic village with a few farms and cottages strewn around. Set in a beautiful rural setting with wonderful views over meadows and fields, the area is suitable for strolling, cycling, and horseback riding. Catsfield is part of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Sussex Weald. The church of St Lawrence, which dates from the Middle Ages, is well worth a visit.

Lovely and warm. Bed comfy. Pleasantly surprised to see a walk in shower and king size bed as these are not on Sykes website. We really enjoyed our stay and are thinking of booking it again. Negatives... Definitely no car space unless you have a tiny car. Back yard full of weeds..in need of a gardener.
