Inside the main house, you’ll find a spacious living and dining area with a wood burner, a well-equipped kitchen, and an orangery offering beautiful views.

The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, with rolling hills, woodlands, and meadows offering endless opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and birdwatching.

The nearby village of Forest Row provides local amenities, including independent shops, cafés, and pubs, while larger towns like East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells offer more extensive shopping and dining options. For history enthusiasts, the region is steeped in fascinating heritage, from the ancient Ashdown Forest to the nearby historic sites like the 12th-century Hever Castle, once home to Anne Boleyn.

    Fabulous location, the view is spectacular. The house has a used feel to it, which meant we felt relaxed to feel at home and settle in for a wonderful weekend. Perfect for a day visit to the seaside for a swim and back in time for a BBQ, There are some wonderful outdoor seating areas, with little fairy lights at the end of the garden too. Felt like a fabulous location for all seasons as there were snug rooms for quiet escape from the main group. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the perfect place for my 50th Birthday weekend away. The highlights: Great view and Romantic Rooms were perfect, great size for all and loved the views. Lots of walks nearby and 1000 Aker wood with Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore and Tigger round the corner too. Fun for all the family.

    We really enjoyed using the garden and house. It was great for our mentor group meeting. The place was warm and welcoming, and the main room we used was lovely. We had a good time throughout our stay. The owner was very polite. Thanks for a great stay.

    I booked this for my wife’s birthday. There was 13 of us and 3 dogs yet it didn’t feel crowded. It is an amazing house and the garden is a beautiful place to be. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The best thing for me was the fantastic dining table that you can all comfortably sit around. We loved sitting around the fire pit into the early hours. We would recommend this lovely house to anyone for a special occasion or just a fantastic holiday.
