A lovely little cabin, warm, clean, a great space. Lovely bits of food left for breakfast, including real coffee and excellently stocked kitchenette. Small but warm and clean bathroom. I was there for a course, on my own, so perfect for that with a desk I could work at. Just a hundred metres or so to the Main Street so many food options on the door step.
I found it hard to find somewhere comfortable to sit to read, found myself either lying on the bed or sitting at the table. Although manageable for 2 people, would be small for anything more than a couple of nights.

For the price you can’t beat the location and amenities. Bread, crumpets, butter/jam, milk and cereal provided were fantastic and the room is bright and clean and has everything needed for a few days around Lewes.
Hard to complain at this price point, but bed was small for wife and I (we are both very tall). And the heater was a bit of a challenge to figure out - was supposed to be on a timer but after a very cold first night it was clearly not working right. I figured out how to turn it on manually when we needed heat and that solved everything.

We enjoyed our stay at the quirky Crabapple cottage. The location was amazing for us as we were attending a wedding at the registry office, so absolutely ideal at barely 5 mins walk. Lovely setting tucked down rotten row, so quiet as well which was great. Kitchenette well equipped, with tea, coffee and breakfast items included. Nicely decked out little shower room, especially loved the lights in the ceiling and the tiles. The bed was quite comfortable considering some of the reviews, for us we slept fine. All in all great value and what we needed. Thanks again for accommodating us.
The toilet seat seemed to move a lot, might need fixing or replacing. No other issues really

Good space and facilities. Very convenient location fair price. Would be very happy to stay again. Breakfast stuff was great. Understand parking issues but no problem finding parking.
Greenery a little overgrown around cabin so sitting out was difficult. We hadn't realised you had a cafetiere so brought our own ( so very small concerns!)

Breakfast items in the room was great because I was starving after travelling there. Room is very spacious and plenty of light. No more than a minute walk to lots of local bars and restaurants! Everything was ready on arrival including towels, milk already in the fridge. The nice little touches went a long way!
Room could defo benefit from a fan or something along those lines, another option to having the windows open to move the air around. Only thing I didn’t like was the bed but that’s just my preference and because of my size/height I was worried that it would break it haha!

Comfortable bed, decent shower, pleasant ambience and very kind and considerate owner. Good location in Lewes, close to lots of facilities and excellent public transport.
Very little. I couldn't find a pair of scissors but was maybe looking in the wrong place.

Everything! apart from the double bed whose foam over-matress overlapped the base matress, causing an (admittedly large) occupant to roll down the resulting slope! If dealt with would love to return, once my physio puts me straight!
as above

Cute log cabin, small but perfectly formed. Great location 2 mins walk to the High Street.
The stairs up to the cabin are a bit slippy and uneven which makes them slightly tricky to navigate with luggage. Limited cooking facilities (microwave & toaster only).

The cabin is spacious and comfortable. Inside the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Everything felt clean and tidy. Although close to the main house, the cabin is private. We enjoyed the wonderful options provided for breakfast. We would stay again.

it really feels like your own space & is incredibly reasonable if you’re on a budget. good connections by train to Brighton & Hove and easy walking distance of the centre of Lewes. a lovely touch to provide crumpets, butter, jam, milk, bread, tea & coffee. a nice little seating area outside. Hosts can be easily contacted if needed but leave you to it. Bathroom is good & bed is comfy. Nothing to complain about at all.
There is nothing not to like for the price. it would be incredibly petty and unfair to complain about anything at all.
