“All we hoped for”
A first break after lockdown and this was just what we needed. Accommodation was excellent and the resident geese highly entertaining. We hired e-bikes for a week and explored the local countryside and beaches.

“Beautiful relaxing family retreat”
Excellent place to stay. We’ve stayed in a few places around Hastings whilst visiting family and this is by far the best - we will definitely go back. Clean, great amenities, powerful showers, amazing views from the terrace and really quiet. Friendly hosts and milk, tea, etc thoughtful touches. Our 8 year old loved the trampoline and the walk through the woods next door. Lovely pubs nearby with gardens. Pett beach is relatively quiet and we got to swim in the sea (and see a seal swim past). Also recommend cycling nearby at Rye Harbour nature reserve (and cycle hire).

“Lovely holiday home in a beautiful setting”
We had a wonderful stay at the Retreat, a spacious cottage with everything you could need provided. The cottage is in a beautiful & peaceful location very close to a lovely pub with great food. The hosts Jac & Phil couldn't have been more friendly & helpful. Pett is a great base for exploring the area and the Retreat is a lovely place to come home to after each day out - we will be back!
