Terrace with garden furniture. Grounds with garden furniture, paddock and barbecue (shared with other properties on-site). Private parking for 1 car. Bike store. No smoking. Please note: there is a pond 15 yards from the parking area. . These semi-detached holiday properties (refs 29887, 29895, 29896, and W43461) reside in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the glorious Sussex countryside and were once part of Vigoes Dairy Farm until the end of the 20th century. Set back from the road, each property has its own individual terrace with furniture, and to the rear of the buildings is a shared grassed area, beyond which is a paddock, an ideal place in which to let off steam, kick a ball around, or have a leisurely picnic. Spot deer, the occasional buzzard, or the very rare short-toed eagle! Walks and cycle routes beckon from the doorstep. See the beautiful Sheffield Park Gardens (National Trust) where, in the 1700s, Capability Brown was commissioned to landscape the gardens. A glorious feast of red and gold in the autumn and where the national collection of Ghent azaleas can be seen in their full glory in the spring alongside the bluebells. In 1876 the third Earl of Sheffield laid out a cricket pitch where the first ever match against Australia was played in 1884! The Bluebell Railway offers an opportunity to stroll amongst the locomotives in the engine sheds and perhaps spot ‘Stepney’ who appears in the Thomas the Tank Engine books, and of course, take a train journey. Stroll through the Ashdown Forest which covers approximately 10 square miles and in fact is not all forest but largely heathland, where cattle and sheep also freely graze for part of the year. It is also famous for the Winnie The Pooh Stories written by AA Milne who lived on the northern edge of the forest with his son Christopher Robin. Attend Glyndebourne, visit the county town of Lewes with its museum, antique shops, and brewery, or head to the coast at Brighton or Eastbourne across the South Downs. Horse riding is available locally. Good rail connections to London from Haywards Heath for further sightseeing opportunities. Shop 1 mile and pub/restaurant 1½ miles.

A perfect place to stay for our visit to Glyndebourne opera

This house was perfect for me, my husband and my sister. We were at a lunch party on Haying Island and we were able to easily drive to Sheffield Park in the light. The parking was so convenient and the cottage was extremely well equipped, not that we needed a washing machine. I would unhesitatingly recommend it. We tried to set off the dishwasher just the once, but the top shelf was attached by elastic bands and so we didn't risk putting anything there. Had we been going to stay longer I would have got in touch, so I hope that I haven't left it too late to alert you to this issue, about which you may be unaware. Otherwise we had a trouble free stay.

Family holiday

The property was immaculate, well equipped with helpful and friendly owners on site. The rear of the property had picnic tables available in a good garden , plus access to a grass field where we and our grand children could play games. The downside of the location was the busy main road in front of the property - a hazard for small children. Also , the distance away from facilities such as shops, cafes etc - therefore always needing to use our car. These downside points are owing to our unfamiliarity with this part of Sussex and our lack of research about the location.

Soulless

This place is adequate if overpriced and soulless. Polyester sheets, doors that slam. Institutional. The units are all in one building. Not separate chalets, though each bit of it has its own entrance and separated space. Much better nearby for the price.

Booked Holly cottage for a week as a last minute holiday with a friend.

Booked Holly cottage for a week as a last minute holiday with a friend. Plenty of space and very clean property, good kitchen facilities and a shower room downstairs which it was perfect for my friend as she was recovering from recent surgery. Lots of fields to walk the dog at the back of the property and a nice cafe next door. Highly recommended

Great little cottage - spotlessly clean and really well equipped.

Great little cottage - spotlessly clean and really well equipped. Lovely to be able to walk out of the gate into the countryside and the beer garden next door! First trip away with our dog. Garden not 100% secure so we had to exercise him on the lead which was the only draw back.
