1 / 14The Robins Nest - Sedlescombe
Sedlescombe, Sussex
A one bedroom period cottage for two at Sedlescombe near Battle, with an enclosed cottage garden, a ground floor bathroom and one dog welcome.
The welcome pack here has something in it for the dog. That is a small thing and rare enough to be worth saying, because most places treat the animal as what arrives with the guests rather than one of them. The Robins Nest holds two people and a single dog at Sedlescombe, a dog friendly cottage of one bedroom, with an enclosed cottage garden out the back. Battle is a couple of miles up the road.
It is a period building and it behaves like one. The beams are low, the floors are not level, and the stairs to the bedroom are steep and narrow, all of which the owners state plainly up front. The bathroom is downstairs, so an animal that has finished with stairs need never attempt these ones. The kitchen door opens straight out into the garden, which is planted rather than lawned and is exactly the size a single dog can hold a firm opinion about.
Two people plus one dog is the whole brief, and the cottage is honest about being nothing else. The pub is walkable, the village is small, and the rest of the week comes down to choosing a direction. For a couple with an old dog, a quiet building in a quiet place is very often the point.
Battle stands 2.4 miles north, where the abbey went up on the ground the fighting turned in 1066 and the slope below it can be walked with a dog on a lead. Bodiam lies further round to the east, a moated castle with the Rother going past and a level path along the bank. Between the two it is small fields, deep lanes and woodland the whole way.

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.
