From start to finish a brilliant week. Armed with directions we turned up to a genuinely warm welcome from Bob and Sue and were then shown round the most comprehensively equipped property we have ever stayed in. The welcome pack is a nice touch to see you through your first day but if you have time pop round to the local independent supermarket for supplies, it's as if they're an extension of the property. Then sit back, relax and enjoy your stay. If the weather's good sit out with a drink, maybe enjoy the barbie, if there's a rustling in the bushes perhaps the badgers have come along to welcome you as well. TV, DVD, CD etc, are all there should the weather turn. Just the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the beautiful local countryside.
My wife and I have just arrived back from a lovely visit to East Sussex staying at the Aspen. When we arrived, Sally and Bob gave us a warm welcome and a welcome pack and showed us around the cottage. They then left us in peace, telling us to contact them with any questions, problems. We didn't need to as every comfort was anticipated in the accomodation.
The cottage was perfectly clean and tidy with all the mod cons of a slick London home, but out here in the peaceful countryside. We've stayed in 4 star hotels that would be put to shame by this place!
Not only was the cottage decorated to a luxury standard, the home has books, music and everything you need to simply stay in the cottage and never venture to all the tourist sites within a short drive from the cottage!!!
There is a private garden which my wife spent many happy hours drinking coffee or having a glass of wine at night watching the stars - as Londoners, we don't often get a chance to see the stars.
I can't fault the place, and the only regret was leaving this peaceful place to drive back to hectic, noisy London...!!

Arrived at Aspen after a long journey to a very hospitable welcome from Bob and Sally. Really appreciated the welcome pack. The cottage is in a wonderful quiet rural location, beautifully appointed and comfortable. A perfect location to visit Sissinghurst, Great Dixter and Rye. Highly recommend.

All our dealings were wonderful from the very first attempt at making a booking, receiving directions and being met with sufficient food to see us through to the following day.
Extremely comfortable and clean accommodation, with every foreseeable thing provided.
We were very impressed with the standard of accommodation and the welcome provided by Bob and Sally. The cottage was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The sunny private garden had plenty of seating and sun loungers. All in all, the perfect country cottage.

A warm welcome from Bob and Sally. Excellent accommodation which had all facilities - and more. The cottage was spotlessly clean and the furnishings and fittings were of a very high standard. Lovely kitchen and bathroom. Sally delivered a basket of goodies which was a very kind and welcome gesture.
The garden is lovely to sit out in with a glass of wine or pot of tea and cake.
Time passed too quickly - looking forward to returning.
If you need a calm relaxing stay in lovely surroundings then this is for you. The Hosts are very welcoming yet respect your privacy. Rob and Sally have everything covered. It's a perfect base for many lovely days out whether you want castles, lovely beaches, quaint villages or beautiful national trust properties. But it is also the perfect getaway should you just want to stay at the cottage and relax in the garden looking out onto the meadow, perfect for artist, writer, or simply someone in need of a breath of fresh air in beautiful secluded surroundings. Thanks to both Sally and Rob, they have the balance between being there to cater for your every need but happy to let you chill in your own space. Perfect.
