"In an idyllic position surrounded by rolling Sussex countryside leading down to lush woodland and lakes this quaint converted detached stable is just the place to escape to and unwind.\nThis characterful cottage with beamed ceilings and open plan living area really is the perfect hideaway with a cosy log burner for winters evening and a private garden to make the most of outdoor dining on those warmer days and admire the best of the views across the surrounding countryside.\nStable Cottage is in the ideal location for exploring this pretty part of Sussex enjoying not just the picturesque coastline with Winchelsea Beach within a 10 minute drive and the historic cobbled streets of Rye just 5 minutes further but miles of green countryside on your doorstep with a choice of walking routes including the 1066 route which leads from the cottage all the way to Battle. For those looking to enjoy a spot of fishing one of two of the owners lakes is the ideal spot with carp waiting to be caught.\nWhy not book neighbouring Garden Cottage with friends or another couple?

Just what we needed for a half term break! Stable Cottage was cozy and clean and the perfect home base to explore Rye, Winchelsea and Hastings. We also enjoyed the immediate surroundings - stunning sunsets over the fishing pond.

A lovely little stable cottage set in farmland with lovely views and a lovely walk down to the fishing lake and around, with beautiful gardens and houses up the road. Very quiet and restful which is what we really needed after a busy season. Very clean and quite comfortable, with all that we really needed for a weekend break. The owner very kindly let us stay for an extra hour on the day we left, which made it easier for us. Lovely eggs purchased from the farmer up the road, who was very friendly and beautiful flowers from the house opposite him. A little far for us to walk at night in the dark to the local pubs and taxis not easy to book, but would be ok in Summer months or during the day. Close to the village, not far from Winchelsea Beach, and a few miles to either Hastings or Rye, who equally have their charm.

stable cottage is a lovely building but it was full of cobwebs and spiders which i found very worrying, there's so much fuss being made at the moment about thoroughly cleaning properties before the next people arrive but stable cottage has clearly not been dusted for a long time which i feel lets it down

Tiny quirky cottage, well equipped kitchen, shame there was no dishwasher. Cute little garden with lovely views in peaceful area. We managed the ladder up to the bedroom fine but can see it would be tricky for some. Local walks and pubs very close. The owner and caretaker were very helpful. Great place for a short break. Perhaps a full length mirror would be a good addition.

A delightful little hideaway located near fields and a lake with various local walks. A clever renovation of a small barn which makes up in charm what it lacks in space. But perfectly comfortable and very clean. The nearest shops were a few miles away, but the rural location was a real bonus. The only (very minor) drawback was that we couldn't get the TV to work, possibly because the remote needed new batteries, but it didn't spoil our enjoyment of the few days we spent there.

Beautiful little holiday home. Very clean and all mod cons. Stairs a little steep but still okay. Amazing view of country field and lake. So quiet and peaceful. Fantastic value for money. I recommend the queens head for food and drink.

Absolutely lovely cottage in a good location, beautiful setting and immediate surroundings. King size bed was fantastic! Stairs are steep and lead to the bedroom which does not have standing room around the side of the bed so is a little annoying but you soon get over that with the comfort of the bed! There is no wardrobe or storage to put your clothes in at all, there is a small rail upstairs but is at a very low (lower than waist height) level so things touch the floor. I had my clothes on the bedroom floor and my husband had his suitcase on the table and had to keep his clothes in there.

Great little cottage, pretty and cosy. Only criticism would be 9 o clock check out, too early, especially on a Sunday, apart from that really nice stay.

Lovely peaceful location. The cottage is very clean and well equipped. Great kitchen area. The furniture could do with an upgrade. Very steep stairs to the bedroom in the rafters ( so no standing room or room around the bed). All in all, a very nice place to stay which we thoroughly enjoyed for the four days we were there.

Perfect couples stay. 9am checkout is a little early for me but I am glad they are taking the appropriate deep cleaning measures between bookings so it's for good reason. The local known as 'the little shop' has closed down but it's only a few miles to the nearest co-op in Winchelsea (right next to the beach). Sheep farm right outside the cottage which is great for animal lovers and you have everything you need in the cottage to make a proper meal like you were at home. Will definitely stay here again.

lovely little cottage, ideal for one or two, good facilities and equipment. Didn’t give a 5 as no heating in the toilet/shower room, won’t be an issue if staying on the summer and although garden enclosed it is not direct from the property so had to hold/release dogs to go into the garden rather than just opening the door and letting them out into the garden. charging per dog is excessive, one price should be charged

They are very quick to answer any querys and can speak to them after 5, emails on time, and informative We really enjoyed Stable Cottage and the views,lake,walks and the woodburner. So near Rye and Winchelsea village and the sea. The Queens Head is very friendly pub with good food, and there is a egg farm 2 mins from the cottage. It’s very peaceful and quite. The fridge did keep as awake at night.

Would definitely look at the staircase that was the only issue other than the gripper rod around the bottom of the beams at the bottom of the bed are poking through and I did cut my heel on them !

We stayed in Stable Cottage in Icklesham for five days in February half term, and we were not disappointed! The key holder was lovely and showed us where everything was in the property, and how to get the log burner going. The accommodation itself was great, it was small but we felt it was perfect for a couples retreat and had absolutely everything you could need. We loved the layout of the cottage, and the bed in the beams was lovely too! The location was perfect, ten minutes drive to Rye and ten minutes to Hastings the other way. We went on a few lovely walks from the house as we were very lucky with the weather (it is surrounded by fields and countryside) and visited the local pubs a few times which were The Queens Head and the Robin Hood, both of which were in walking distance - about ten mins to Robin Hood and about 30/40 mins to the Queens Head, which had fantastic views. The home owners both seemed lovely, we accidentally broke something in the property but they assured us we wouldn’t have to pay as it was only £10 to replace - very kind! We would love to return some time in the future :) I thought the accommodation was a very good price, as it had everything you could need for a holiday, as well as being in a beautiful countryside location, perfect for walking or visiting the nearby Rye and Hastings.

They answered my questions quickly and the whole booking process was very straightforward. Beautiful setting for this open plan cottage. Had pretty much everything we needed. Log fire, good shower, huge bed and lovely views. Local pubs are better for a drink rather than food but Rye is a short drive away.Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
