Vine Cottage is a beautifully designed countryside retreat in the village of Westfield, just a short drive from Hastings and the Sussex coastline. Set in peaceful rural surroundings, it offers the perfect balance of quiet escape and modern comfort. Inside, the cottage features vaulted ceilings with exposed oak beams, an open-plan living space filled with natural light, and large doors that open directly onto the private patio and garden. The layout has been carefully designed to feel spacious, calming and connected to the outdoors. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for relaxed family meals or long weekend brunches, while the comfortable lounge area is perfect for cosy evenings in. Each bedroom is thoughtfully styled with high-quality bedding and soft furnishings to create a restful atmosphere after a day exploring the countryside or coast. Outside, guests can enjoy their own private garden space — ideal for morning coffee in the sunshine, evening drinks under the stars, or unwinding in the wood-fired hot tub. On clear nights, the rural setting offers beautiful dark skies and a peaceful sense of escape. Vine Cottage is family-friendly while also perfectly suited for couples seeking a quiet retreat. Whether you’re looking for coastal walks, countryside adventures, or simply a place to slow down and recharge, this is a space designed to help you switch off and relax.

Vine Cottage is run by us, Addison and Lucy, a local family who live nearby in East Sussex. We designed and built the cottage with the aim of creating the kind of countryside escape we would love to stay in ourselves — peaceful, comfortable and thoughtfully finished. We genuinely enjoy hosting and helping guests discover this beautiful part of Sussex. From coastal walks and historic towns to quiet countryside pubs and family days out, we’re always happy to share local recommendations to help you make the most of your stay. As a family with children ourselves, we understand what makes a stay relaxing and stress-free — whether you're visiting as a couple for a quiet retreat or bringing little ones for a countryside adventure. We take pride in maintaining Vine Cottage to a high standard and in creating a warm, welcoming experience from the moment you book. Our goal is simple: for you to arrive, switch off and feel completely at home. We look forward to hosting you.
