Charming barn conversion with enclosed private garden.

Charming barn conversion with enclosed private garden. And with a little exploring, it reveals a stunning secret nearby.. Ground Floor:

Open plan living space.

Living area: Smart TV

Dining area.

Kitchen area: Electric Oven, Electric Hob, Microwave, Fridge, Coffee Machine, Washing Machine

Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet

First Floor:

Reading Room: Books

Bedroom 1: Kingsize (5ft) Bed

Bedroom 2: 2 x Single (3ft) Beds

Bathroom: Bath With Shower Attachment, Toilet. Enclosed lawned garden with patio, decking, garden furniture and barbecue. Access to 22-acre estate and lake (shared with owner). Electric vehicle charging point. Private parking for 2 cars.. Originally built in 1896, Spilstead Barn has been converted in 2018 into a delightfully welcoming holiday cottage. Still used for livestock and farming today, the 22 acre estate sets the scene with stables greeting you opposite the front door.

You enter into the open plan living area, with a modern kitchen, shower room and the sitting and dining areas. You can see exposed glimpses of the original barn, with the beautifully restored beams cleverly separating the spaces. An extra touch of luxury has been added too, with new underfloor heating downstairs to keep your toes warm in colder months.

The stairs lead you onto a large landing with soft, deep pile carpets and a cosy reading corner. There are two bedrooms, one a twin with lovely oak furniture, and a master bedroom at the far end with king size bed and fabulous views over the estate. There is also a smart shared bathroom to unwind in after a day out visiting the local towns and natural beauty of 1066 country.

Outside you have a private, fully enclosed garden. With children and dogs welcomed, this is a perfect space for them to play while you relax on the decking and enjoy some shade and a book under the parasol. When you are ready to explore a little further, head out of the gate and the hidden gem of Spilstead Barn is reached by a glorious half mile walk. Stroll past the paddocks on a tree-lined avenue, along the old vineyard which meets the open fields, and you will find the beautiful, secluded private lake. With a picnic table and small rowing boat awaiting, you can dip your toes in the water, enjoy a spot of fishing or even take a leisurely swim around the island.



Swimming at the lake and use of the boat is also allowed with prior arrangement, and at your own risk. Please ensure children are supervised at all times. Life jackets are provided.

Suitable for up to 2 pets
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The cottage also includes a washing machine.

We had an amazing stay in the barn - it's in an amazing location, the grounds are beautiful. Boating on the lake felt really special. It's close to Battle and Hastings, Brede woods are great for a dog walk. The kitchen is well equipped. The hosts are wonderful, there if you need anything but it still felt private.We'll be staying again.

A lovely place to stay, a good location and very peaceful. Very comfortable, well equipped and extremely clean. A nice welcome pack too - thank you. It was a good situation for exploring the area, with plenty to see and do. Due to the pandemic we didn't investigate local pubs which was a shame as they all looked inviting.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location with very welcoming hosts.

Lovely cottage in a stunning location with very welcoming hosts. Just what we wanted for our break this year. The local area is very dog friendly and we visited a few castles and Battle Abbey (albeit just outside because of covid this year). The Queens Head is a fantastic local dog friendly pub where we enjoyed a meal. Hastings is close by, with an old town area well worth exploring. Lots of great walks including our daily morning trek to the lake! With the good weather we had, the whole holiday was perfect. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely stay, very relaxing and our dog loved It so,much! Probably the only thing to mention though not really a criticism is that four adults may find the comfy evening seating not adequate. Loved the lake! Bring rods! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a wonderful place to stay.

This is a wonderful place to stay. Well equipped down to the finest details and is outstandingly clean. The photos don’t do the property justice on how spacious and modern it is. The two bathrooms are an added bonus. The owners are warm and friendly and leave lovely welcome treats. The grounds are stunning and the walk to the private boating lake is breathtaking. We will definitely visit again. Outstanding! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This holiday cottage is fantastic! Downstairs is small but so well-designed that you have everything you could possibly need, and the upstairs is spacious, calm and comfortable. But the real joy of Spilstead Barn is outside - a pretty, fully-enclosed garden leads on to acres of beautiful land which guests are free to roam. The horses stables are just feet from the front door, and my daughters were encouraged to spend time grooming them. A short walk through peaceful fields leads to a small lake with rowing boat, where we saw herons, frogs, foxes and much more. If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the holiday home for you! To top it off, owners Ronni and Roger could not have been more friendly and helpful. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Absolutely picturesque place with lots to do in surrounding areas.

Absolutely picturesque place with lots to do in surrounding areas. Had a beautiful time and lots to investigate at the barn itself. Great with kids and pets. Owners are brilliant and friendly and made us feel very welcome. (Added bonus they were from where we currently live so lots to talk about). Would recommend this to anyone, the boat is lots of fun Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We loved staying at this property.

We loved staying at this property. It had everything we needed and was close to so many attractions. We went into Hastings one day, Camber Sands another day and took advantage of the little boat on the lake at the property another day. We also enjoyed a couple of dinners outside, overlooking the beautiful gardens. The hosts were lovely and the bottle of fizz and fruit cake were a welcome treat. Thank you to Roger and Ronni for their hospitality. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

It had a quiet and restful country location with extensive grounds to explore and handily placed for all the sites we wished to visit, mainly gardens and National Trust properties. It was close to Battle for shopping and near the coast.

We had a great week at Spilstead barn. The accommodation was beautifully prepared. If there was a criticism it was that there is not enough comfortable seating in the living room for 4 adults and we were a bit on top of each other.

Modern barn conversion done to a high standard. Impeccably clean with all the essentials supplied. Great walks on your doorstep and very dog friendly. The owners couldn’t have been nicer and were very helpful. We had a fantastic relaxing week there, didn’t want to leave!

We had a wonderful week's stay at Spilstead Barn over the August bank holiday with our 3 young boys. A travel cot and high chair were provided which was great. We found the cottage spotlessly clean and it had everything we needed. We loved eating dinner in the garden, overlooking the fields. The owners were welcoming and my son loved that he got to stroke the horse! We enjoyed going out in the rowing boat on the lake and even had a swim as it was so hot! Lots of family friendly places to visit nearby. We will definitely recommend to family and friends.

Spilstead Barn is in a quiet, peaceful location and was great for visiting a number of enjoyable places especially beaches for walking. The property was well equipped for our week and the owners input (not intrusive) helped us, as we were new to the area. The walk down to the lake was quiet and there was a chance to relax by the lake or take the rowing boat out. We had a good week of weather, and we were able to enjoy all our visits and then return to the Barn to relax.
