Bellflower Cottage was perfect for a NYE weekend getaway - very warm (we had to turn the heating down!), clean, well equipped (although we had to ask for loo roll and dishwasher tabs), beautifully decorated and so peaceful. The quintessential English country cottage! Gorgeous walks from the door and lovely outside space (which only the dog took advantage of as the weather was so wet!)
We did struggle with the beams with 3 out of 6 of us banging our heads, but we knew from the description that they were there before we booked. So our bad!
A lovely, lovely stay. Thank you!

Ideal location for young children and dog walks on farm and Ashdown Forest with sensible flooring so that mud was easily contained. Even with less than perfect weather it felt homely, although some shortfalls in equipment....many plates but not enough glasses....and some 'usuals' were missing eg washing up tabs and liquid. Owners pleasant and helpful, but we were left to our own devices. All in all a good holiday.

The cottage was ideal for 2 adults and 3 dogs. It felt like home from home as soon as we arrived, the beds were very comfortable and everything you needed was provided. Watching the bird life from the house was amazing. The situation of the house was excellent for many dog walks, especially on the Ashdown Forest and the garden was very secure for the dogs. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage to friends.

The cottage was a lovely place to stay in with family. Great location for local walks. Kitchen was ample for us to cook as a group of six. Nice wood burner and comfy sitting space. Underfloor heating was lovely. Quiet except for owls!
A very enjoyable stay. A minor couple of points: it would be helpful to have a book/folder including all the house information in addition to TV stuff. Also the initial description should include the fact that upstairs there are 2 cross beams in the corridor which are only about 5' high - meaning you have to bend every time you go through. So beware.
