1 / 14The Robins Nest - Sedlescombe
Sedlescombe, Sussex
A Grade II listed cottage for two in the heart of Sedlescombe, dating back to 1450, with an enclosed cottage garden, welcome treats for the dog and one dog welcome.
Welcome treats are waiting on arrival at The Robins Nest, and some of them are for the dog. This charming chocolate box cottage in the heart of Sedlescombe is Grade II listed and dates back to 1450, yet the rooms are light and bright, and this dog friendly cottage for a couple and their dog sits in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Coats and shoes come off in the hallway, and the lounge sits to the right of the front door, comfortably furnished for two around a gas flame effect fire, with a Smart TV and a dining table for meals together. The kitchen keeps its beamed ceiling and much of its original charm, and its stable back door opens straight onto the enclosed cottage garden, so the dog's first trip outside is a short one.
The garden is a typical cottage garden with a bistro table and chairs, made for breakfast outdoors with the dog stretched out close by. The pretty double bedroom upstairs has a view over the front garden, while the bathroom, with a hand held shower over the bath, is downstairs. With a 15th century gastropub a short stroll from the door, the evenings tend to plan themselves.
Keen walkers and their dog have the many footpaths of the High Weald to explore, and the village shop, post office and an antique shop are all close by. Historic Battle, with its ruined abbey and battlefields, makes a great day out, and Hastings and Rye are both a 5 mile drive, one for the beachfront and fresh fish stalls, the other for antique shops and cobbled streets. Royal Tunbridge Wells is nearby for shopping.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is The Robins Nest - Sedlescombe dog friendly?
Yes, The Robins Nest welcomes one dog alongside two guests. The cottage goes a step further than most — there's something in the welcome pack for your dog too, which is a small but genuinely thoughtful touch. The enclosed cottage garden out the back gives your dog their own outdoor space to settle into.
Are dogs allowed at The Robins Nest - Sedlescombe year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owners directly to confirm availability for your dates. As a small cottage taking just one dog at a time, it's a good idea to book ahead whenever you're planning to visit.
What should I know before visiting The Robins Nest - Sedlescombe with my dog?
The cottage is a period building with low beams, uneven floors and steep, narrow stairs to the bedroom — something the owners are upfront about. Helpfully, the bathroom is on the ground floor, so a dog that struggles with stairs won't need to manage them at all. The kitchen door opens directly into the enclosed garden, which makes letting a dog in and out straightforward throughout the day.
