Catsfield is a historic, peaceful village to call home during your stay in Sussex and a walker's paradise; venture into the surrounding countryside to explore the pristine landscapes of High Weald, stop of at Battle to discover the mediaeval ruins of Battle Abbey, before returning to Catsfield for dinner at The White Hart Inn.

Just a short drive away from the property is the mediaeval village of Rye, which is picturesque and steeped in history with its half-timber buildings and cobbled streets to spend the afternoon wandering around. For coastal escape, Hastings is a short journey south to wander along the bustling pier with an ice cream in hand, take a dip in the sea at the pebble beach or head to the town's museum and art gallery for cultural delights. White Hart Stables offers a relaxing break in the heart of the countryside.

It was very clean and had everything we needed for our holiday. The garden was fully enclosed, so just perfect for our dog, as the property is set back from a very busy road. The pub does very nice meals. The cottage is in a good position and enabled us to see Bexhill on Sea, Hastings, Rye and Camber Sands, Burling Gap and Seven Sisters Country park plus a few national trust properties such as Chartwell and Scotney. All in All a very good week

The property is lovely, immaculately clean and well furnished. It has a nice double walk in shower and a very comfy bed. It is clean, nicely decorated, cosy and had everything you need including a parking space in front. The french windows open into the secure/private garden, where you can sit and relax with horses nearby. One of the very best things about White Hart Stables is the White Hart pub next door. Lovely traditional pub with a friendly landlord and staff, the food was outstanding (yummy Sunday roast), I ended up eating there four times and each time the food was delicious and good value for money. It is also nice to see a pub so popular with regulars and diners. I had a lovely week and highly recommend White Hart Stables and The White Hart Pub next door.

Really well equipped,everything you could want for your stay. Shop with post office facilities and bus stop 30m away. Dog friendly. Two big tvs, one in lounge one in bedroom with sky. Good rainfall shower, big fridge freezer, fully enclosed (by new fencing) back garden with furniture however, could do with tidying up to bring it in line with the rest of the property. Bed very soft with dips really could do with a new mattress. The pub next door own the cottage and I must say it's a great little local pub, really well looked after and the staff are all fantastic, a really slick team, the food is great with decent portions and prices. We ate there three times and enjoyed it every time. They have a lovely sunny little garden out the front too. Really great location for exploring Sussex and surrounding areas. On the 1066 walking route.
