Coastguard Cottage With Sea Views

This victorian coast guard cottage sits high on top of the cliff in acres of country parkland. With spectacular views from every window ! A paradise for walkers, ( and dogs ! ) it also has the benefit of being 10 mins drive from Hastings Old Town with its famous fishing community, eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, beach and rail link to London and Brighton.
15 mins in the other direction takes you to the beautiful clique port town of Rye and the white sand beach at Camber beyond.
The new visitor centre in the country park , is a stroll away, good for breakfast or light lunch .
“The Cove “ is a 20 min walk across the cliff top into Fairlight village. A very good foodie pub, using local produce and serving local beer, it has something for everyone with lovely atmosphere.

Very comfy and homely
The cottage is very comfortable, with everything included for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. We really didn’t want to leave. The kitchen is very well-equipped as is the rest of the cottage. It’s in a lovely location with fine walks and stupendous sunrises.

4 Firehills Cottage
A fabulous unique property with views to die for, this well equipped cottage has everything you need for a short break or holiday. Karen has done everything you need to enjoy your stay. The cottage 'handbook' is the best we've seen, giving you all the information you need or would ask, and a few places to visit too. Parking is outside the cottage on the drive and entrance through the front door you have a galley style kitchen with everything you need, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine and a coffee machine. To the right you have a living room/dining room and downstairs toilet and conservatory leading to a lovely cottage style garden. The garden has a shed with clothes airers and garden furniture in, Further down is a bench style table and BBQ. Most mornings we had a rabbit in the garden eating the grass! The second floor of the cottage has two big bedrooms and the bathroom. What gives the cottage the ultimate wow factor is the loft conversion. There is a huge bed, victorian style bath with handheld shower attachments, dormer windows looking west across the coast to Eastbourne and Beachy Head. The two big veluxes on the other side give you views eastwards across the bay to Dungeness, and on the clear days across to France. You can sit for hours watching ships up and down the channel. We had a couple of nights of storms that we sat and watched. Truly impressive! I can't not finish this review without saying that the neighbours were lovely too!

Beautiful house and location.
This was a lovely long weekend away for my birthday. The photos do not do this property justice. The location is beautiful and the views down the coast from either side of the house are stunning. There was plenty of space for myself, my husband, my son my mother and my sister along with two spaniels. Karen kindly provided a Stairgate as we never let our dogs upstairs and there was plenty of room in the dining area section for the dogs to sleep their crate. The whole area is wonderful dog walking country with lots of footpaths and stunning views. There are also lots of rabbits so should you have a rabbit happy dog You may need a little more work keep them under control! Our dogs Were very keen to get out of the garden to chase said rabbits and one of them did manage it but I have told Karen about the hole in the fence and I have absolute confidence that she will secure this as Karen has been incredibly communicative and very helpful. There are lots of stairs in this property and the beautiful main bedroom at the top does have sloping ceilings near the bed so you just have to remember that! Thank you, Karen for a lovely stay And it would be lovely to come back one day.

Peaceful getaway
Wonderfully situated in countryside near cliffs with far views in all directions. Close to nature, sea air and peace. Easy access, parking, well-appointed cottage, friendly neighbour and welcoming host made for a care-free time. We were blessed with the finest weather this year yet, which was a delightful bonus. Would be happy to return for a longer stay and recommend to others.

Relaxing stay in cosy cottage
We spent 3 nights in this lovely cottage within the country Park, the cottage is incredibly well equipped in the kitchen , the views are amazing, all the way along the coast, Pett levels, Rye, Camber sands, Dungeness and in one particularly clear night France! Karen responded to queries immediately and was an excellent host. I certainly recommend this cottage.

A fantastic location on the cliffs
We had a great 4 night stay at this property. The location was unusual with outstanding views across the cliffs in both directions for miles. Great walks on the doorstep but near enough to Hastings and Rye that there were towns within striking distance. The cottage was well equipped and had everything anyone could need. It was also lovely to have our own parking space which made arrival and departure very easy. We were comfortable in spite of howling winds outside and equipment for cooking was great. What is listed as a third bathroom is a bath in the third bedroom and this would not be suitable for older visitors or anyone with a disability. As there were only two of us we were fine using the bathroom on the middle floor and would highly recommend the cottage as a holiday destination.

Lovely few days in unusual property well described & cared for.
Comfortable and well supplied. Only very very slight gripes- the light over the bathroom mirror didn’t work; and only the one smaller size saucepan with lid didn’t seem quite enough! Everything else was beautifully supplied, clean and well chosen! We loved the location, quiet and spectacular and the neighbours were friendly too.

Birthday Long Weekend
The Coastguard cottage was much bigger than we thought from the pictures on the internet. We could have done with more hot water as there was 6 of us and 4 would have liked a bath. the log burner was great really cosy and warm. The National reserve was lovely great walks and scenery.

Perfect Break
The property is a beautiful old house with high ceilings and stunning views of the area around it. Set off on a very quiet road. The house is well maintained and had all the amenities that we needed. Also a lovely touch of a bottle of bubbles as we were staying over New Years Eve. The only thing we didn't realise when booking that the third bathroom is a bath tub in the top floor room as appose to an actual bathroom/ ensuite, but that was maybe down to us not checking the listing properly. It was perfect for our little break and would higly recommend

One of the best places we've ever stayed
Apart from the fabulous views, the property was very well equipped, comfortable and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We invited family over for a celebration lunch and it all went very well. We had no idea we were virtually inside a gorgeous nature reserve, which was the icing on the cake. Thank you so much.

Cute Coastal Cottage
We enjoyed our time at this cottage. It was a quiet getaway for us after a busy 10 days of driving and visiting so many wonderful National Trust Properties. The cottage is decorated perfectly for a coastal feel and we were welcomed by some fabulous fresh bread. I don’t think the pictures quite displayed how close we were in proximity to the other cottages in the row, but the neighbors were helpful when we were trying to sort out which cottage was ours and helped us locate keys. We heard very little noise from the neighbors. It was great to walk right out to the park/coast area and explore. Sadly, I have a health issue that reacts sometimes in older properties and there was a musty smell that was a trigger for me. Not sure if there is a way to ventilate to prevent that when your guests arrive. Otherwise, it is a lovely cottage. Oh, also very little toilet paper was provided and maybe a bar of soap - or let guests know to bring their own.

Very pleasant stay in amazing location (if not too windy!)
We had a lovely stay, only slightly diminished by the very strong winds (which turned an otherwise amazing location into slightly less pleasant experience for part of our stay). But Karen is a wonderful host (responsive, helpful and clearly cares abt her guests having a nice time) and her house was impeccable, cosy and stylish with all we needed for a weekend of exploring and overeating :)

This is a delightful property but unfortunately water escaped from the small bedroom ceiling on Friday night which caused me to sleep in the upper room the remainder and following night with my son. The heating also needed updating as some of the radiators did not work
