Thank you Cecilia for a lovely stay. Hopefully see you again soon. The fresh flowers and bottle of bubby was a great touch! Everything was perfect for our honeymoon,
We all loved staying here. Great location. Lovely for walking in the country park. The house is really special. Like staying in a tree house. Quite magical. Wish we could have stayed longer. (Published: 30 Aug 2022, Vrbo)
Our group had an absolutely incredible time at Hollyoak Sanctuary. The space is very unique and completely exceeded expectations, it feels remote and tucked away in the countryside yet is a 20 minute cycle from Hastings / Rye and even closer to the beach. Zoe was really accommodating to all of our questions and super helpful when we ran out of a few essentials over the weekend. We managed to do this all on our bicycles, having taken the train from London (but beware of the big hills!). Wonderfully decorated and spacious, so fitting in 8 people was a breeze. We also took our laptops and did some remote working and the internet held up really well despite all of the video calls, so can highly recommend an extended long weekend here. We will definitely be back!
Dear Megan, Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We always appreciate your feedback and are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Luckily the weather was on your side too. We would love to welcome you back any time. Best wishes, Zoe & Cecilia
If you’re looking for peace and quiet with nothing but nature to indulge in then this is perfect for you. With all the city amenities a tranquil escape from the city bustle. A beautiful paradox near the sea!
Beautiful location situated in the trees, very tranquil, plenty of space for the 8 of us, (2 children 9 & 11), and 3 dogs. The children loved the pyramid room all to themselves, it was a great adventure. For all of us. Lovely welcome package, great communication and fast responses. Very Clean and had everything you needed. With dog walks so near, its perfect. Would definitely recommend. Very good quality for the price. Would go back too.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time at the Barn. It was the perfect place for a family get together. Our children enjoyed the quirky pyramid and we were all very comfortable in our respective rooms. The Barn is very well equipped and if anything was missing Cecilia was only too happy to help. Zoe was also very helpful in answering our many last minute questions. It is a 10 minute walk up a hill to the Country Park where there are astounding views of the sea and the surrounding coastline. Thank you very much!
The Hollyoak sanctuary was amazing. From the moment we walked in we couldn’t believe all the space we had. The outdoor decking was perfect and we enjoyed the many bbqs. The surrounding grounds were great too and we loved making use of tennis courts. It was the perfect getaway and hope to come back again next year.
Hollyoaks Sanctuary was lovely. Lots of space for the four of us and our dog, with an outdoor decking area perfect for reading many books or a BBQ in the glorious sunshine. The surrounding areas were also great, with lots of beautiful local walks and a tennis court, which we managed to make use of. It's a great venue for a little getaway to spend time relaxing and taking in some of the surrounding nature. Cecilia is a great host with excellent communication before and during our stay, fresh flowers throughout the rooms, and fresh milk in the fridge so we could enjoy a cuppa upon arrival! Thanks so much!
For our family of 6 plus small dog this was just about perfect. Lots of room for everyone. Bedrooms spaced apart so early risers didn’t disturb the late risers (usually the case when we go away). Big baths a real treat and we ate outside (again lots of space to explore) everyday. Excellent coffee machine too.
Lovely owner was very helpful and kind. Everything works in the house perfectly. Lovely place to spend a sunny afternoon.
