Kipling cottage is cute and eclecticly designed and is attached to the main house. It is down a narrow country lane surrounded by fields and woodland and a few neighbours. There is a big TV in the living room with Sky, Netflix etc and good WiFi in the property with a comfortable sofa. Burwash is a short drive away or a 45 min walk through lanes and fields and we can recommend the Rose and Crown for good food and friendly staff. Karen and Tony were staying next door during our stay and were really friendly and on hand to answer any questions and provided a fan for the hot nights and a light for the summerhouse so we could while away our evenings in there.

Beautiful cottage annex, reached by steps from the outside. to a stable door, ideal for watching the passing deer which we saw most mornings and evenings.Laid out in a southern European style.. it’s on 2 floors with a spiral staircase between the floors.. the upstairs bedroom has an on-suite beautifully decorated with double shower and classical wash basin.The downstairs is well laid out with large screen TV, ample comfortable seating and a small but well equipped kitchen including dishwasher.. There is a separate dining area, again decorated beautifully in a southern European style..Our dogs loved the large garden area with large oak trees, rhododendron bushes and had plenty of area to get up speed around the garden…A lovely stay, and a lovely host.. Karin was helpful, thoughtful, yet respectful of our privacy… All in all a wonderful break.
