About this cottage rental
This holiday home is in the centre of the rural village of Cowbeech and is one end of the main house, which used to be the Village Post Office and Stores. The annexe is light and spacious - with bedroom (5' bed), shower room, sitting room (with wood burner), kitchen, conservatory & second WC. There is a washing machine and dishwasher in the kitchen. The décor is traditional. There is direct access to its own garden at the front and rear, with seating. There are suntrap spots, even in the Winter. Broadband connection and a BT landline are included. The village pub (the Merrie Harriers) is a five minute walk. Dogs welcome so long as they are safe around the odd free range chicken. Cowbeech and surrounding area is great for dog-walking and there are a lot of lovely circular walks, which can encompass a good pub. It is also a good area to visit gardens connected with the Open Gardens Scheme. Herstmonceux Castle (England's first brick-built castle) is a ten-minute drive away and again offers walks and gardens. The quiet beaches of Normans Bay and Pevensey are a 20-minute drive away and offer long stretches of sand to walk along when the tide is low and safe swimming. Hastings, Eastbourne and Brighton are within easy reach via road or rail. The nearest train stations are Polegate (15mins) and Stonegate (20mins), which provide direct lines to London (approx. 1hr 15mins). A short introduction by potential guests is appreciated - but not compulsory!

It is a nice place to relax. London can easily be reached by train from train stations which are about a 30 minutes car ride away. Apartment and kitchen are sufficiently equipped. Chicken in the garden supply eggs. The hostess is very friendly, cooperative and always available when needed. We have enjoyed our stay.

The Old Post Office in a lovely Sussex Village was very comfortable. The age of the building was it's charm and although totally different from our Australian home this was the attraction for us. The location was chosen to be close to our UK family. In fact the pub 2 mins away was the venue for a large family gathering during our stay. We had a couple of small laundry equipment issues that Sue dealt with very quickly. We had one large thunderstorm with very heavy rain during which the conservatory roof leaked in several places.
This did not detract from our stay and was acceptable due the age and quaint nature of The Old Post Office. We enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic host, a lovely, kind and welcoming host, nothing too much trouble. We have had a lengthy stay in the old post office. I felt at home instantly. Lovely welcomed locally produced essential food in the fridge and local honey and marmalade.
Very comfortable, warm abode. Our two small dogs most welcomed. Lovely safe garden.
Superb pub a stones throw away the merrie harriers. Great food.
Lovely peaceful, friendly neighbourhood.
