Luxury countryside retreat minutes from the sea
Vine Cottage is a stunning modern country escape tucked away in the peaceful village of Westfield, just a short drive from Hastings, Rye, and the beautiful Sussex coastline. Thoughtfully designed to combine contemporary comfort with rustic charm, this spacious three-bedroom eco-bungalow sleeps up to eight guests and offers a truly relaxing retreat for families, couples, and friends alike. Whether you’re soaking in the wood-fired hot tub under the stars, lighting the log burner after a day at the beach, or simply unwinding on the terrace surrounded by landscaped gardens, Vine Cottage invites you to slow down and enjoy life’s simple luxuries.
Stylish design meets home-from-home comfort
Inside, every detail has been considered to create a sense of calm and connection. The open-plan living area features a generous lounge with a Smart TV, soft furnishings, and a double sofa bed, flowing seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen and dining space perfect for family gatherings or celebratory dinners. The property sleeps eight across three beautifully furnished bedrooms: a master with ensuite shower room, and two zip-and-link rooms that can be set as super kings or twins — ideal for mixed groups or families with children. A spacious family bathroom completes the setup, offering both practicality and comfort.
Vine Cottage is powered by an air-source heat pump, with underfloor heating throughout, solar PV, and an EV charger for guests — ensuring your stay is both luxurious and environmentally responsible. Outside, a private garden terrace with outdoor seating and a wood-fired hot tub provides the perfect backdrop for evening drinks, alfresco dining, or simply soaking up the tranquility.

Westfield offers the best of both worlds: peaceful countryside surroundings with easy access to the coast and nearby attractions. The historic town of Battle, the seaside charm of Hastings Old Town, and the cobbled streets of Rye are all within a short drive, offering boutique shopping, coastal walks, and award-winning restaurants. Families will love nearby beaches like Camber Sands and Bexhill-on-Sea, while walkers can explore the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty right from the doorstep.
Whether you’re planning a summer getaway, a winter escape, or a weekend of relaxation, Vine Cottage offers the perfect blend of style, space, and serenity ,a true hidden gem in the heart of East Sussex.
