The Little Acorns in East Sussex | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About The Little Acorns

The Little Acorns, boasting a wonderfully unique setting, resting in Stunts Green, East Sussex is a detached studio that adjoins an alpaca farm. Guests get to see these endearing creatures as they come and go each day, together with roaming ducks and chickens; thatâ€™s not something you get to see every day!

Perfect for a romantic hideaway, the studio is set within six acres of farmland which visitors can enjoy a stroll in and meet and greet the 20 resident alpacas. Standing within private gardens which include an enclosed patio area, a delightful pond which is filled with koi fish and a hot tub as well as plenty of patio furniture.

You can imagine spending a lot of time out here, soaking up the idyllic surroundings, watching the fish in the pond, looking out for alpacas and other creatures and enjoying a wonderful dip in the hot tub. Come rain or shine, the guests can enjoy the peace and quiet of this stunning setting while chilling out in the hot tub.

Once youâ€™ve had a relaxing wallow, you can step inside through the French doors and enter the small but perfectly formed space which has been completed to an incredibly high standard. There is a sofa and armchair positioned in front of a Smart TV where you can imagine curling up and enjoying spending quality time together, and when you get hungry, the kitchen is more than adequately fitted with a range of facilities to make sure you can create delicious food for your loved one.

Enjoy a snack together at the breakfast bar or try a romantic dinner for two at the dining table and chairs, or if the sun is shining, take your meal outside and enjoy some drinking and dining alfresco style. Come bedtime and the gorgeously appointed king bed is just waiting to be sunk into before looking forward to another day in paradise.

The Little Acorns Reviews

Thank you for a lovely stay! It was very comfortable, relaxing and calming, and exactly what we were wanting in a short break

Stuart

This quaint little property in the heart of the Kent countryside is absolutely stunning, from the welcome from the hosts, their helpfulness, accommodating us visiting and feeding the alpacas, to the actual property itself which is amazing. The little touch of providing us fresh eggs from their chickens for our arrival was lovely, and the hot tub was such a nice option and helped us have a lovely relaxing weekend away. Brilliant property, fantastic hosts, great value for money. Had such a lovely weekend away, we will definitely be back.

Andrew

We had a very enjoyable stay at little acorns , Kevin and Dee were great hosts ... We had a very enjoyable stay at little acorns , Kevin and Dee were great hosts making sure that we had everything we needed, the little extras like fresh eggs in the fridge milk tea and coffee, shows that this is not just a business, they really want to offer the best experience, visiting and feeding tha alpaca with Kevin was very interesting and leaning a lot more about them was great thank you

We had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights. Owners were very welcoming, accommodation was very clean and we very much enjoyed the use of the hot tub. Lots of nice country pubs in the area. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Karina

We had an amazing time. The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable, and wellmaintained. The owners were absolutely lovely, making us feel welcome and ensuring everything was perfect. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

Enjoyable break. Very hospitable owner.

Rachael

We really enjoyed our stay at The Little Acorns. It was so relaxing which was exactly what was needed. It had everything we needed.

We stayed at the Acorns for 2 nights last weekend and had the most relaxing time from the moment we arrived there. The owners were very welcoming but left us to it. The accommodation was spotless and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Freshly laid eggs were amazing. Big thanks to the owners for making our stay away so relaxing. We will return ASAP. Thank you with 10 stars . Neil and Lucy x

This property is wonderful. well appointed and extremely comfortable. Everything was to our liking except the access to the hot tub.. We should have noticed from the pictures that there was no hand rail which of course to younger folk would not have been a problem. However, we are in our midlate 70's and made us feel very vulnerable.We did manage to get our selves in and out not a pretty sight, sense of humour need. most enjoyable! The welcome pack was thoughtful, Thank you K&D and having our drinks in the sun watching the fish were very pleasant. As stated a wonderful venue.

Httpsvm. Tiktok.comZGe7goyYt Beautiful property, a great size for a couple including the outside area. Everything you could need in your property, cosy, very comfortable bed, breakfast bar and all youd need in a kitchen. The pond was a lovely idea to include in your space and it was very peaceful sitting listening to the water whilst enjoying the amazing hot tub! Great location, not far from Hailsham, Herstmonceux Castle, Polegate and Eastbourne coast and Beachy Head! The owners thought of everything and being able to go and see and feed the Alpacas was a nice touch, too. Easy to retrieve the keys and the property was private l, also. Absolutely will visit again!

Lovely accommodation very comfortable bed, nice kitchen, great shower, brilliant secluded outside space with lots of garden furniture and a hot tub. The location is very peaceful. The host was helpful and friendly and we loved having alpacas, ducks and fish as our neighbours for the week.

This is a lovely place. Thoughtfully arranged and equipped. Very modern & surprisingly spacious. Spotlessly clean . Comfortable. In a beautiful setting. Very private. Absolutely perfect as far as we were concerned. Friendly but discreet owner.

Andrew

Lovely place to stay. Very friendly and helpful owner. Feeding the Alpacas was a highlight.

Very comfortable cottage with a hot tub, The standard of everything is excellent. We had excellent nights sleeps in super comfy beds. Will highly recommend to friends and hope to be back.
