Cottage vacation rentals in Alfriston

We had a wonderful stay at The Granary. The setting is exceptional and you feel like you’re in a historic hamlet in the middle of beautiful, peaceful countryside. The hosts were great, leaving us to our own devices but on hand and responsive if needed. The Granary has been expertly restored as have the other historical buildings on site and the grounds are beautifully presented. We had everything we needed in the property. We would highly recommend booking a stay. Don’t forget your swim wear - the pool and jacuzzi are fantastic!

Outdoor space was fantastic, our toddler really enjoyed seeing the sheep and the chickens. The barn was well furnished and clean. There is a fantastic business park next door with lots of amenities. We had a great time - thanks so much!

What a hidden gem of a place! We feel so lucky to have found Stable Oak Cottages and to have spent New Year there with our family celebrating our sons 18th. The place was gorgeous and the hot tub such a treat! The alpacas were great entertainment and the luxurious little touches from bath robes and sliders, to home baked bread and muffins were just wonderful. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful long Easter weekend in this charming cottage. The space was cozy and perfectly appointed, lots of old charm - original cottage was built in 1550! - and special touches that delighted our children and made us feel like we were in quite a magical little space. The gardens are beyond gorgeous and just a lovely space to sit in the sunshine and watch our children play. It was a wonderful weekend filled with children’s laughter, bird song and cozy nights by the fire as a family. Thank you Tim & Maite for sharing your gorgeous cottage with us. The children are already asking we come back soon!

We stayed for 4 nights in April 2025, 2 adults and 2 children (9 and 13). Fabulous stay, the cottage is lovely and tucked away from the road. The hot tub was a big hit and made the stay that little bit more amazing! Excellent host and a lovely cottage, we will be back.

We had a lovely stay for our mini moon with our dog. The cottage was beautiful and peaceful with everything we needed. The hot tub was on and ready for when we got there and we were even given fresh bread and eggs for breakfast. Even though the owners lived right next door we were left to enjoy our stay with no disruptions. The location was ideal with amazing walks nearby and plenty of pubs within a short distance. We can’t recommend this cottage enough. Thank you so much for having us.

Thank you Peter and Karen for a wonderful stay at your property. It was everything we hoped, secluded and calm, peaceful and serene. your thoughtful touches (the eggs, milk and biccies plus tea and coffee etc), plus your helpful insights into the locality were really helpful and helped make our stay. We loved having the use of the hot tub and the pool and the veranda over the garden was so peaceful in the evenings. We would absolutely stay here again if you would have us!

We had such a lovely stay! The house is beautiful as are the surroundings. The log fires hot tub is a fantastic feature! Clare was always super responsive and flexible with our slightly later check out time. Would 100% recommend staying here.

Excellent holiday cottage set in idyllic surroundings, each facillity Within the cottage were as described and we felt imeediately comfortable! Local restaurants were excellent so much so we eat out all week, so very well satisfied all round My contact at beachy head estate office (evie) was excellent in Handling our enquiries before and during our stwy, so Evie take a bow for a job well done

The cottage was immaculately clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and very good value for money. There are lots of lovely walks from the doorstep. The Plough was very good and just a few minutes up the lane. We chose to eat in on our second night to make the most of the cottage and views. We hope to return again, with bikes next time.

The house was perfect for five of us with plenty of space. Having the option of a room on the ground floor was really good. Love the bedrooms and coziness of the downstairs. Great book selections and the kitchen is really well equipped. Thanks Ruth!

Caroline's cottage was so peaceful and beautiful, set in a gorgeous setting. Caroline provided groceries for a cooked breakfast as well as croissants, which was a great touch and saved us the issue of finding local shops etc. It was lovely waking up to bird song. We loved the way Caroline's ducks came to greet us as we set off each day. Thank you Caroline for responding to any enquiries so swiftly too. Your cottage was so cosy and comfortable.

Such a beautiful cosy perfect little place we fell in love with it the minute we walked through the garden gate, cute, quaint and abit like stepping back in time, an evening in front of the fire on the comfy sofa with a cup of tea after a very windswept walk across the nature reserve was an absolutely perfect Sunday, followed by a great sleep in the super comfy bed , and croissant and fresh coffee for Breakfast kindly left by Lynda who was such a lovely helpful host, we will absolutely be back to stay for longer in the summer, one of our most favorite Air bnb accomodations by far 🙂

We booked Dani’s house to have a few days away with our 4 young granddaughters. The house was perfect. Very well equipped with lots of board games for the girls. We ate in every day and the kitchen/dining room was great for big family meals. The house itself is really pretty in a private, small estate, that is very quiet. It’s cosy and homey inside with lots of personal touches. The bus stop is just round the corner on the main road. The beach is about a 5 minute walk the other side of the main road. However the climb up the dunes takes a little longer…they almost did nanny in 😂. But it was absolutely worth the climb! Beautiful, never ending beach. There is an easier walk onto the beach next to the car park further down. Dani was very helpful at all times. She should be very proud of her lovely house. Anny London

Dot Cottage is a gem. Incredibly well located in Rye. Very close to everything yet very peaceful. You feel enchanted by the house even before you walk in. The decor has a quintessential English feel but very well done. Very considerate colour palette and you can tell that Catherine has put a lot of thought into every single detail. As a host, Catherine was very quick to respond to any query I had and very helpful. We visited a lot of her recommendations and they were all great. We had 3 amazing days in Rye. Thank you Catherine!

Lovely cottage. The hosts dad was lovely and friendly and very attentive. Made us feel very welcome. The cottage has beautiful surroundings and is extremely peaceful. We felt very at home and the cottage was very cosy . Was nice to have a warm place . Lovely walks as well.

It was such a lovely stay at Lucy and Nick! Everything was perfect and all the family so lovely and welcoming. The cottage, the surroundings, the animals, the region, .. I will come back soon for sure!

Marion and Jamie are great hosts with a lovely property in beautiful surroundings. They were really helpful and friendly with our group - definitely highly recommended!

Peaceful place, we enjoyed to pass the night here. Christine is a great host and caring.

Fischer’s cottage is a wonderfully tranquil getaway in a beautiful part of Kent. The cottage was very comfortable, with everything we needed in the kitchen and a magnificent wood burning stove in the living room to keep us cosy on a slightly chilly Summer evening. The garden was a delight and allowed our two-year old daughter a great space to play. We even made use of the BBQ and outdoor wood-burning stove. D was so helpful with directions, recommendations of where to visit and which pubs and restaurants to eat at. We would certainly come back again.

We really enjoyed our Easter week stay at the The Long Stable. Andrew and his wife were very welcoming and supportive hosts. The location is idyllic, very quiet and private, even if other farm buildings are nearby you won‘t be disturbed and can make the most of the huge terrace. The cottage is very tastefully furnished and everything is to a high standard. All mod cons are available and the kitchen is fully equipped so wie could enjoy cooking ourselves as well as trying out some of the many pubs and restaurants within easy reach by car. You can stroll around the farm or nearby woods at your leisure, we particulary enjoyed saying hello to the newborn lambs one of which we were allowed to feed as well. The farm is ideally located to visit the coast (recommending Rye Harbour Nature Reserve), National Trust Sites like Sissinghurst or Bateman or simply enjoy the countryside…you really are spoilt for choice. We highly recommend The Long Stable and would love to return for a longer stay.

We had the most amazing stay. The cottage was immaculate with so many thoughtful additional touches. The surroundings were peaceful with views to die for and Jo’s gardens were very pretty! The wildlife was amazing and we saw badgers and foxes up close! We only stayed for two nights while we were visiting Port Lymphe and the location was ideal… We highly recommend Jo and her cottage, we wish we could have stayed longer and we would love to return! Thank you so much!

The cottage was a real home from home. Really important for us as we had to stay for two months whilst work was being done on our house. It was warm (essential in January and February), cosy, comfortable and extremely well equipped. John and Jane were thoughtful and helpful. After a very stressful few months we were able to relax and enjoy our extended holiday.

Lovely host very responsive & respectful and a dog lover true to our own hearts. Beautiful countryside & private. Everything we could have asked for. Great pubs great food. Thank you Romy for be in a great host Jo Jim Stanly & Honey
