Description

Little Orchard is set in the grounds of Orchard Farm and is located next to the owners' family home, but benefits from its own separate entrance and garden.  The property is a 13 acre equestrian smallholding, with horses being the main focus of the property. Free-range chickens and ducks wander round the farmhouse garden, (and occasionally wander a little further).  The inquisitive farm cat likes to see who’s visiting, and the friendly Labradors are also keen to say hello. 

This superb 3 bedroom conversion is all on one level and has been styled to the highest standards with great attention to the smallest detail.  It has been converted to be energy efficient and as eco-friendly as possible.  Thermally efficient, it is warm and cosy in the winter, and cool in the summer.  The large expanse of roof has been utilised for harvesting solar energy, and the property is heated using electric heating and there is also a wood-burning stove in the sitting room.   

There are French doors opening onto a terraced area with fantastic views across the adjoining fields and woodland with direct access to the forestry commission land, making it ideal for keen walkers.  There are three double bedrooms, one with an en-suite and a spacious well-equipped kitchen with the dining table at its heart - the perfect place for family meals or just catching up over a cup of tea or a chilled glass of wine.  The local area around the property is full of good country pubs and places to eat.  Staplecross is a pretty village with many period houses, nearby Bodiam has the wonderful castle ruins and Sedlescombe boasts its own organic vineyard, which you can walk to via woodland footpaths.  Great Dixter House and Gardens is in Northiam makes a great day out at any time of the year and also within approx a 10 minute drive is the village of Hawkhurst with supermarket, chemist, bakers etc, plus fishing lakes and a golf course.  

The historical town of Battle is also just under 10 minutes away – a visitor must with the impressive abbey and 1066 Battle of Hastings battlefields to explore. Lots of lovely shops and cafes etc too. 

Tenterden with cafes, restaurants and a nostalgic steam railway.  Hastings and Rye are also on your doorstep as are the golden sands at Camber.  Little Orchard is situated right on the Sussex/Kent border, making this the perfect holiday property for families or couples looking for either a fun filled holiday or a relaxing break in the countryside.

Reviews

The cottage was very well equipped and very clean. The welcome pack was a very nice touch and the owners were very friendly

Mrs W,

Lovely and warm. Shower in main bathroom was trick . Very hot or cold . Bed in bedroom 2/was very soft

Mrs S,

A perfect place with its own garden for outdoor ball games. The big kitchen diner was great for cooking and socialsing and a comfortable separate lounge.

Mrs F,

A delightful cottage with lovely hosts, who let us have access to the dogs and horses. Very well equipped , clean and a good location for visiting various places in the area. Highly recommend the Quirrel Inn for lunch and visits to Battle, Rye and Hastings

Mr M,

Super cottage! Really beautifully styled and furnished… managed to be contemporary and stylish but with lovely traditional touches; spacious yet cosy; really well kitted out yet uncluttered. Accommodated six of us easily. Dog loved the safe enclosed garden. We enjoyed dining on the outdoor table, too, watching the sun go down. Some road noise at busy times but didn’t spoil the lovely setting. Thank you! Looking forward to staying again!

Dr R,

Little Orchard is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It is situated in a great location, making many places easily accessible. Great value for money, we hope to return one day.

Dr D,

Great location for exploring East Sussex.

Mrs J,

We enjoyed our stay in Little Orchard which is a well equipped, comfortable and spacious accommodation. Our dogs enjoyed the secure gardens and walking in the adjacent woods. Little Orchard is well located to visit many national trusts places as well as Camber Sands, Rye Nature Reserve and the beautiful Birling Gap and Seven Sisters headland. The welcome hamper was very generous and greatly appreciated. The owners have been most helpful during our stay and it is somewhere we would like to return to.

Ms G,

We enjoyed our stay at Little Orchard very much. The property is very clean, spacious and well equiped. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. The perfect location for exploring Sussex and Kent. Would highly recommend.

Mr E,

Excellent property and near lots of interesting and varied places. Highly recommended

Ms H,

A beautiful cottage which is well equipped and furnished to a very high standard. Really enjoyed our stay in Little Orchard and really looking forward to returning again.

Miss M,

Well appointed, warm, comfortable, spacious property. Excellent location for exploring the local area. Dog friendly with walks on the doorstep.

Ms B,

A lovely, well-equipped and comfortable cottage which was beautifully clean on our arrival. Very thoughtful welcome package plus tea/coffee - thank you. Nice woodland walks on the doorstep but muddy (April) so wellies were a must. The main road is quite noisy at times but not noticeable from inside the cottage.

Mr L,

We did love our stay here and would recommend it to others. Thank you for the welcome pack, it was a lovely touch to provide for our dog too. Close to so many places to visit such as National Trust properties.

Mr D,

Lovely cottage- great for my friend who is in a wheelchair. Lots of space to get around the property. Great communication from the hosts. I’m

Mrs O,

A well appointed cottage with good sized rooms in a really great location. Lovely villages and towns nearby with some great pubs - perfect!

Mr M,

We had a very pleasant stay at Little Orchard, very comfortable with absolutely every possible thing catered for. Thank you for a very nice welcome basket. The garden was ideal for our pet dog. Here’s to the next time?

Mrs M,

Lovely cottage, great location for dog walks and exploring. Highlights were the welcome package, log fire and garden. Highly recommended.

Mrs W,

An excellent property, comfortable and extremely well equipped, with a lovely welcome basket too. Perfect for our dog with plenty of fenced-in garden space, plus some beautiful woodland very nearby ideal for dog-walking. The owners, who live next door, were charming and very helpful. A great location for exploring inland and on the coast. We are 4 ladies who have been taking a week's holiday in early October in different parts of the country many years and this was one of the best properties we have found. Highly recommended.

Miss B,

This wonderful property turned out to be a marvellous find. It's spacious and being on one level particularly suited my elderly mother who isn't so agile theses days. For me, I was very impressed with the quality of the dog proof fencing around the whole garden and gate area which gave me confidence that my small Tibetan Spaniel dog wouldn't be able to escape! The owners and neighbours were incredibly friendly without being in the least bit obtrusive. All in all I thoroughly recommend staying here to visit Rye, Battle, Hastings, Eastbourne (not so nice!) and a bit further afield the Pavilion in Brighton.

Mr S,

Little Orchard was in a lovely position with a beautiful garden for our dogs. Nearby are beautiful woods to take walks in. The property is very spacious and nicely decorated with everything you could need. We didn't want to leave!

Mr John W,
