“We wanted to build something from the ground up, that still felt rooted in the site’s agricultural past. As a female-run, family-oriented business, we wanted somewhere that feels special without being precious, where parents get a proper holiday too and children feel just as welcome as the grown-ups. Our favourite moments are the simple ones: a slow breakfast with the doors open; a cup of tea on the garden swing. It’s a place for eating well, sleeping brilliantly and enjoying time together.” The Baldslow Team
They love
“Wandering through the veg garden to gather fresh produce and herbs for dinner.”
We love
The olive-green squiggle lamps, which glow against the terracotta walls.
You may not love
The hideaways are adjacent to one another. You may hear traffic from the A21 if the wind’s blowing in a certain direction. Sorry, no pets.
Sustainability.
Built new rather than converted, both hideaways were designed for efficiency from day one: air-source heat pumps feed the underfloor heating, high-performance glazing and modern insulation keep the warmth in, and there’s EV charging on site. The veg garden and the bees do their bit too.

- Walk to the local pub along a wooded footpath (30 mins) or The Queens Head in Sedlescombe is 5 mins’ drive for dinner.
- History is on the doorstep in Battle, where the 1066 battlefield and Battle Abbey sit at the top of a handsome high street of independent shops and cafés. Explore then go for lunch at The Pub at Powdermills (5 mins’ drive).
- Hastings Old Town has a creative, slightly eccentric streak: tall black net huts in the fishing quarter, antique shops, the cliff railway up to East Hill and Lury, an excellent restaurant giving Sussex produce a Sri Lankan twist (15 mins’ drive).
- Find a spot on the pebbles at St Leonards and queue for a fish bap at Goat Ledge, a colourful beach shack with deckchairs and sea views. Afterwards, browse the vintage and interiors shops around Norman Road (15 mins’ drive).
- Mooch around Rye, wandering the cobbles of Mermaid Street, the antique shops and the little lanes lined with great independents. Then settle in for a long lunch at The Plough (25 mins’ drive).
- English wine country surrounds you. Book a tour and lunch at Kip favourite Tillingham, a natural winery in Peasmarsh (20 mins’ drive), or try Oxney Organic Estate and Chapel Down; check tour times ahead.
- Clifftop walks in Hastings Country Park and Fairlight take in woodland glens, sandstone cliffs and huge views along the coast.
- Pett Level and Winchelsea are quieter and wonderfully atmospheric. At low tide, walk the sands past the stumps of an ancient forest, then explore Winchelsea’s medieval streets.
- Garden lovers will adore Great Dixter in Northiam, the late Christopher Lloyd’s gloriously bold garden, and Bodiam Castle with its splendid moat.

£200, or £300 if you’re renting both units. This is payable directly to the owner after booking and will be refunded following your stay provided no costs are incurred.
Single midweek nights are sometimes allowed, but there may be a surcharge – please enquire if this is of interest.
Each is separate and self-contained with its own patio, but they share a 2-acre site and the veg garden, so you may see or hear guests next door. The owners’ house sits in front of the site but is completely fenced off.
Very little. The Barn has higher, lofted ceilings, a bath in the second ensuite, a boiling-water tap and a bean-to-cup coffee machine; The Stables has 2 walk-in showers and a pod coffee machine.
Sorry, no.
Not necessarily but we’d recommend one as most restaurants, beaches and shops are a short drive away. You can be without one though; train to Battle then taxi (10 mins), and taxi about during your stay. There’s a pub 30 mins’ walk away along a wooded footpath.

Yes, for up to 8 people, with 5% off the usual combined price. Please enquire if this is of interest.
