"It's like having a cultural concierge in your pocket."
Charming Robertsbridge isn’t just a pretty face, with two pubs, an Indian restaurant, cafe, two food stores, Boots pharmacy and a gift shop, there are plenty of amenities within walking distance from the property.
Don’t be fooled by the historic buildings, this isn’t your average sleepy English village. From the Robfest music festival in July to the annual Bonfire extravaganza every autumn and Christmas Capers in winter, there’s a full calendar of spectacular events to behold.
Tipsy Cottages is a charming 15 minute walk from the village pub, 20 minutes’ walk from the station, and each cottage is equipped with torches for that post-pub stumble. There’s a Farmshop an idyllic 5-minute walk away via our private track.
Visit East Sussex for rolling hills and weald-land straight out of a landscape painting, towns blitzed by bloody Norman battles, glorious gardens and super-cool seaside resorts. There are lots of exciting places to visit and things to do in the local area. Follow the in-crowd to funky Hastings & St Leonards for days splashing off pebble beaches and browsing lanes of alternative boutiques or pop over to family-friendly Eastbourne with its serene boating lakes, Victorian gardens and wow-factor white cliffs. Don your imaginary armour to trace 1066 dramas around abbeys and battlefields in Battle and Pevensey or wander the stylish cobbled citadel of Rye, home to an array of art, and cosy pubs.
A medieval citadel huddled against invaders and the sea, Rye reveals its history gently. Today it’s home to a myriad of art, curiosities and cosy pubs as well as boutique shopping and gourmet restaurants.
Originally built in 1385, Bodiam Castle, near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, has spent centuries as one of the nation's best loved and best known castles in England.
Set between hills that reach to the sea, Hastings is an oyster that comes with its own grit, where the smooth bustle of modern life rubs along with the rough edges of tradition.
With its rolling hills and mild climate, it’s no wonder East Sussex boasts a host of well-regarded wineries and Tipsy Cottages is the ideal base for exploring the best of English wine, from our hyper-local Mountfield Estate to Tillingham, Balfour or Chapel Down.
