Located in the East Sussex village of Northiam, the local area boasts popular pubs, antique shops, butchers and farm shops. It is also famously home to Great Dixter, Christopher Lloyd’s celebrated hall house and garden, which is well-worth a visit. Situated in the heart of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, keen walkers will enjoy exploring the many footpaths, stopping at quaint villages for afternoon tea or a pub lunch along the way.

The front door opens into the charming lounge area, which features exposed beams, a large inglenook fireplace with comfortable sofa and an exposed brick wall. The kitchen beyond is compact but opens out to the garden and has everything you’ll need including an electric double oven with a grill, hob and overhead hood, microwave, fridge, freezer, and washing machine. Once you have finished preparing your meals, dine at the round oak gate-leg table that sits in the pretty dining area by the kitchen. Go up the steep turned stairs to the bedroom, which is extremely cosy and inviting, with exposed beams above and original pine floorboard below, and a cupboard with hanging space. Also on this floor is the stylish bathroom with bath with overhead shower next to the pretty cottage window, basin, mirror and WC also features original floorboards.

Outside, the cottage is approached via a pretty front garden, while the stunning pebbled garden at the rear of the house has been beautifully planted and features a handmade bench and cafe style table and chairs for al fresco dining.

Charming character comfortable cottage. This is our second stay at Elsie Cottage and we returned as we knew it would be clean and just the right location for exploring the East Sussex and Kent area. We would definitely recommend this property, just be mindful that the stairs are very steep!

Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed - including books and games. Helpful information and leaflets were left for us to read up about the local area too. The area was beautiful as well as relaxing, we happily spent a rainy afternoon inside. The welcome gifts were a lovely touch and much appreciated. Would highly recommend Elsie Cottage!

Enjoyed our stay at this cosy cottage, lovely location with much to see and do and the cottage had what we needed, though could do with just a couple of extras such as a smart TV and that blackout blind in the bedroom. Great suggestions left by the owners and the treats on arrival was especially welcomed. However, be warned that the cottage is tinyRead more and old, and anyone with mobility issues might want to think twice due to some awkward steps in the property. Hide

Apart from what I have written above it was a comfortable cottage. Small, but that was part of the description. Although the stairs were steep there is plenty of support to help get to the top.
