"Lovely cottage, thoughtfully kitted out and comfortable."
Perfect for one. Enjoyed the conservatory in particular - spent much of my time there, overlooking the garden, listening to owls in the evening and even a roe deer appeared early one morning. Well located, loads to see and do in the area. Owners friendly and available but unobtrusive.
-
"We enjoyed our stay very much."
Easy access to to all of the attractions we wanted to go to. Lovely local pubs (The Horse and Groom/ The Sawn Inn). The hosts very accommodating. Highly recommend.
-
"The cottage was lovely and well equipped having clear directions of how to get there with an owner who was friendly and helpful."
The conservatory and garden were very good to extend the cottage and the wood burner just what we needed to warm up after getting cold and wet. The location was ideal for visiting many historical sites both English Heritage and National Trust. We had an enjoyable break at Wood Glen Cottage.
-
"Friendly and thoughtful hosts."
Peaceful, quiet and relaxing cottage and an ideal base for exploring the local area. We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go back again.

"A beautiful and quiet place"
-
"The cottage was very cosy and comfortable."
We loved eating in the conservatory and enjoyed looking out at the wild flower meadow. There are many NT properties and other beautiful gardens to visit in the area. No need to travel very far.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Well equipped and helpful owners when needed. Delightful position in rural area, but with shops a short drive away.
-
"Wood Glen cottage is very complete and has everything you need."
The garden is a beautiful orchard where you can relax and read or just listen to the birds. The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome.
-
"Owner very nice, pretty cottage, nice conservatory and comfy bed."
Negatives were hard towels and tv firestick not working. Good location.
-
"We had a really lovely stay at Wood Glen cottage."
It was clean, comfortable, well-equipped and quiet. The owners were on hand if we needed anything, without being intrusive. The conservatory was a great place to relax in after a day out in the gorgeous countryside. The mattress was on the soft side but we got used to it! Thank you.

"A sunscreen would be nice"

"We had a wonderful stay at Glen Cottage and found it very comfortable."
We loved the meadow and appreciated the shade from the apple trees. It was so peaceful and generated a real feeling of well being. Thank-you.

-
"Relaxing garden"
-
"We had a very comfortable three night stay."
We got a warm welcome and some basics were supplied so we could have a hot drink when we arrived. Such a lovely quiet spot. Highly recommended.

"We visited Wood Glen cottage in Oct/Nov, later than intended."
. so I was wary that the weather could be chilly. But the photos and description were very promising and we were VERY cosy and comfortable. The cottage is smallish but so well laid out, and the SW facing conservatory delivers lovely sunsets, in fact a lovely place to relax in any weather. Nikki was a perfect host, very welcoming and informative. We both look forward to staying again asap.
-
"Lovely peaceful and cosy property!"
Plenty of places to visit we had a great relaxed time.
-
"A lovely, well equipped cottage for 2 in a peaceful location."
We were lucky with the weather and the West facing private garden and barbeque were a real bonus.
-
"A lovely cottage for two, very nicely decorated, large garden with pond and outdoor seating."
Very peaceful surroundings but at the same time close to lots of interesting places. We had a great stay! The only downside was the matrass on the bed which was very soft, too soft for us which meant we did not sleep as well as hoped for. The pub next door which is also used as a landmark in the directions is no longer in use so it might be better to update the instructions and text on website. Linda and René

"A beautiful location and comfortable cottage with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday."
-
"Lovely cottage in rural setting yet convenient to the coast and beautiful rural villages etc."
Good facilities, welcoming and more than adequate in every way. The little wood burner was extremely effective. I was very happy
-
"The owners need to address the following: Milk and tea on arrival."
Better signage to cottage at end of drive. Outside light not working. Flies in garden coming into the conservatory. Very hard towels in bathroom. Underfloor heating difficult to understand and control. I would have raised these issues with the owners on the day we left but no one was around to speak to.
-
"Lovely setting."
Good location. But major problem with having no dustbin at the property. Apart from compositable vegetables there is no provision for the disposal of rubbish until the end of the visit when you should leave the bag from the very small pedal bin in the porch when you leave. So we were forced to take daily rubbish with us and look for car park bins. No instructions for some appliances which caused problems with unusual microwave. Poor lighting in conservatory and small soft bed.
-
"This cottage is beautifully furnished."
The owner is a talented designer with a real flair for interior design which shows in the enormous attention to detail throughout the cottage. The location is perfect: very quiet, away from any main roads and with its own huge natural garden with a small pond and orchard and lots of outside seating which was great for eating out, as was the large attached conservatory which effectively doubles the size of the downstairs space. Perfect for a couple with a lovely bedroom and en suite bathroom. It’s also ideally located for exploring the Sussex Downs, the South Coast great destinations like Brighton and Rye, famous gardens like Sissinghurst and Great Dixter and numerous National Trust properties.

"Cottage is very comfortable, lovely position."
Owner very friendly and helpful.
-
"Really sweet, lovely and clean cosy cottage in great quiet location - ideally placed for both coast and countryside."
The Three Cups Inn mentioned as being within walking distance of the property is very close by but is no longer open which might be disappointing for some. It is also not clear when travelling to the property from the north (from Heathfield) that the building was a pub if using this as a landmark.
-
"The little cottage was lovely, and was a rare place where it was actually even nicer than the pictures!"
Beautiful garden, cosy little cottage, friendly host. It was a wonderful escape from London for us.
-
"Beautiful wild English garden to enjoy,"
-
"The cottage was exactly as described and quite delightful."
It was so very peaceful and the garden was a delight.
-
"A lovely cottage,very quiet and had a lovely conservatory to eat in."
I did not use the wood burning stove but wood is available on site to buy. Kitchen was just right,very good wifi and the bedroom is so cute! As it was winter I did not sit in the garden but imagine in summer it must be idyllic.Not far from Heathfield town for shops.I did not have a car so used taxis when I needed to get about. The owner greeted me and afterwards unless I needed to ask anything( I didn't) was left in peace and quiet. Pretty lights in the conservatory and nicely decorated interior.
-
"Really good location for our planned visits in the area."
With underfloor heating the cottage was always warm and comfortable, all the facilities were there to fulfill our needs. The nearby pub (app.200 yards) was very good and served us well. Access to the nearby PO in Rushlake Green also was a plus point.
-
"Only had wifi part of the time, the place wasn’t overly clean, the owner went away for three days and we weren’t notified that she was going away, cars coming and going all the time."
Wouldn’t stay there again.
-
"We’ve just had the most wonderful holiday in the idyllic Glenwood Cottage."
Everything was just perfect and Nikki made us feel very welcome. Lots of lovely touches throughout this very comfortable cottage and it is set in the most beautifully relaxing surroundings. A real home from home.
-
"It was an ideal base for exploring East Sussex, great accommodation, very relaxing sitting in the wild flower garden, especially in the shade when the temperature was in the 30s!"
-
"No problems, the Location, facilities provided, quality of design and furnishings all as described in the publicity."
We were made welcome and enjoyed an excellent stay, even the weather was perfect if perhaps too hot !!!!
-
"The cottage is an absolute delight."
The fixtures, fittings and furnishings are of a high quality. The bathroom has an excellent shower and a heated towel rail, something which many cottages lack. The kitchen is adequate for 2 people and contains all the equipment you can imagine. The sitting room has comfortable seating and the conservatory is a joy to be in on a warm summers day. There are many places to visit nearby and a pub serving good food within easy walking distance. I recommend a visit to Wood Glen for a thoroughly enjoyable cottage break in tranquil countryside that cannot fail to be enjoyed
-
"The cottage is the perfect place for two : charming and comfortable with everything to feel at ease."
The location is perfect. Nearest pub a must. We definitely enjoyed our week.
-
"Fabulous location to explore West Sussex."
Cottage perfect for a couple looking for a 'get away from it all' break. Lovely walks from the cottage. Great pub only a two minute walk. Plenty to do, close drive to a number of attractions.
-
"This cottage was perfect for a quiet break in November."
Although the weather was bitterly cold the cottage was very warm and welcoming, infact I was reluctant to go outside on some days. It's location suited me as it enabled me to see a lot of East Sussex and the beautiful woods surrounding the area were stunning in Autumn. I would definitely like to visit here again as I felt totally relaxed from the minute I arrived.
-
"There were plenty of places to eat fairly close."
