Poppinghole Farm Cottages — Hotel in Rother

My birthday was put on hold this October due to Lifeboat duties as hubby is the mechanic and Hastings welcomed its new boat last month meaning any spare time was taken up, so hubby promised me something extra special. He delivered 110% this year! ||He booked us in for Friday to Sunday, we stayed in Saddleback and am definitely going back again! ||Welcomed by the owner when we arrived and good explanation of how everything works, including the pool and spa area. ||Facilities are fantastic, so much available, especially for if staying a whole week, with washing and drying facilities available too. |The cottages are decorated well, and very clean, they have everything you need for self catering, all good quality, we loved the colourful mugs! The bed was so comfy, the underfloor heating was great, and we spent the Saturday night in front of the fire, where you have as many logs available as you need.||Other than another couple there on the Friday night we saw no one, other than some stable staff, and so had the pool to ourselves the whole weekend which was fabulous as the aim was for a restful and relaxing weekend and we had just that. ||Hubby hadn't booked any treatments for me assuming id be able to book in on arrival, but they get busy, so book ahead. This will definitely be on my list of places to go with the girls for a weekend spa break and or return with hubby! ||Didn't want to come home as the weekend just went too quick! ||Made friends with some of the old farm dogs, who are very well behaved and whilst they came to the door to say hello, they didn't come in, my favourite was the black one that bless him/ her is a bit arthritic? One of my breakfast sausages did accidentally treat the woofer! ||Thank you for a great stay at your beautiful home and grounds, and sorry for knocking on the door when checking out, we didn't know whether we just left and left the keys in...

Visited with my friend for a spa day. We were greeted warmly by the receptionist, " and now you can relax" just the words I wanted to hear. We were shown to our private cottage which was amazing. Very comfortable and tastefully decorated. With biscuits and organic apple juice ready waiting for us. We also had access to tea and coffee which we could make in the kitchenette there. We were shown around the pool and spa area, which luckily was for us was empty and we had use of this area all day. It consisted of a lovely warm swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a cooler plunge pool and lounging beds. Shower and toilet facilities also available in the pool area along with wonderful soft towels, robes and slippers, plus Elemis products for showering. Cold lemon water on tap plus a nice little touch of moist face pads and an Elemis toner to use. We had a delicious lunch and desert plus a glass of wine served to us in our cottage. We both said we wished we had put our deserts in the fridge to have after our treatments as the portions were more than adequate. Maybe something to consider next time. We both had a couple of treatments one of which was a full body massage. The therapists were very nice and did a wonderful job of making our visit most relaxing. Great treatments. I would definitely recommend a visit here, its worth every penny. This place is a little hidden gem of 5 star luxury in beautiful surrounding. Can't wait for my next visit!! Thank you all at...

I bought myself and my daughter a Bronze Spa Day for her 50th in June. I had to reschedule the original date owing to an operation on my hip, but this was done very courteously by the helpful and sympathetic receptionist. We have just had an absolutely wonderful day there, and will definitely return. We received a very warm welcome, and were shown to our delightful cottage in the courtyard, where we relaxed for a while and then went next door to the pool and spa. There were only two other ladies in the pool and jacuzzi, and we enjoyed using both before our hot stones massage. The therapists were really lovely, friendly and professional, and I can honestly say it was one of the best massages I've ever had. Then it was back to the cottage for lunch, which was delivered promptly and set up on the table for us, along with a very nice glass of chilled white wine. The portions were amazingly generous, and all of the food was totally delicious, and beautifully presented. After a leisurely lunch, we went back to the pool, which was empty, and after another swim, relaxed on the comfy loungers until it was time for our facial. This was just as good as the massage, and we were both walking on air when it was finally time to check out. The rural location is perfect; very quiet and peaceful with just the sounds of horses hooves clip clopping from the adjacent stable. My daughter and I wished that we were staying overnight, but maybe next time. I can't praise it highly...
