Beautiful house in stunning and idyllic location
Would highly recommend!!! Our visit was for a family of 6 (across 3 generations) and all adored a peaceful relaxing week at this incredible home. There was something for everyone, from learning about Winnie the Pooh to long strolls through the Ashdown forest. The pool was gorgeous, warm, a perfect size and a lovely little oasis for everyone. Some incredible local food providers and restaurants a short journey away. Hosts left us completely to our own devices but were always on hand should we need anything and were super friendly and accommodating. Would love to visit again!

Fabulous House and Garden
Lovely house,even better garden and fantastic pool. Well equipped,plenty of space and great views. Owners live on site: I wondered if that might be a problem, but they really do keep out of your way and yet are on hand to help with anything ...a friendly,helpful and interesting couple: I can't believe that they do everything themselves....makes me feel quite lazy. We were grandparents travelling with our son [working from home] and children of 5 and 7. We all had a great time & the children especially enjoyed the pool [heated and salt water chlorinated...so easy on the eyes and skin]. With pool and garden,walks to Pooh sticks bridge,and local attractions there was enough to keep the children occupied all week. thank you John and Louise: you are doing a great job! & forgot to say thanks for the welcome [and delicious] brownies Louise.

A great place to celebrate a special birthday
Everything about The House was perfect for our visit. The living spaces internally and externally were just right for the whole family - all 10 of us! The heated swimming pool was a big hit with the children - they spent many hours every day enjoying themselves (under supervision). The beautifully furnished terrace got plenty of use from first thing in the morning until late evening - courtesy of the fire pit. The views are stunning and we never tired of looking out over the downs and Ashdown Forest. The extensive garden was a treat - the trees are fantastic but with enough open space for the kids to play all sorts of games whilst the adults could keep an eye on them from the terrace. Great kitchen (extremely well equipped) and dinIng spaces and lovely snug for watching TV - plenty of channels from which to choose. John and Louise were brilliant hosts - on hand when required but left us to enjoy their lovely property without interference. Would highly recommend.

Amazing holiday location!
From booking through to departure John and Louise were a pleasure to deal with. They were welcoming, friendly and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Their property was very clean and furnished to a high standard, exactly what we were looking for as a base for our family holiday 😊 We made full use of the brilliant swimming pool and one of the highlights for my 8 year old son was collecting the chickens’ eggs each day. Thank-you very much John and Louise x

The absolute dream
I cannot express how much my family and I loved staying in this house this past week. The house and gardens are BEAUTIFUL! Somehow even better than the pictures show. And the pool is unreal! Larger than I’d expected and so lovely and warm. This must be the first holiday I’ve had where the weather was mostly poor and it didn’t matter at all. Swimming in the rain? Why not? Waking early and watching the bunnies quietly playing in the garden was a personal favourite. If you can drag yourself away from the house, garden and pool, there are lovely local walks and plenty of places to visit just a short drive away eg Groombridge Place, Penshurst Place. A little further afield, but well worth the trip if you have young children, is Drusillas zoo park. John and Louise were perfect hosts- friendly, welcoming and always just a message away if needed. The house had everything and more than we could possibly need. Just perfect. I was truly living my countryside dream life. Thanks so much John and Louise!

Fantastic Family Break
Brilliant accommodation in a beautiful and relaxing location. John the owner was very welcoming and informative on our arrival and Louise very kindly provided her homemade brownies which our girls said tasted delicious. The house is really clean and extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need to enjoy a great stay. We particularly enjoyed using the outdoor space which as a good choice of seating areas and is really lovely and also private. The pool and garden was perfect. Luckily we had great weather and took advantage of using the bbq, fire pit and outdoor games. My teenage girls loved playing archery. There are many walks in the local area via the Ashdown Forest and into Hartfield village. We recommend a visit to Nick the butchers for great quality meat. We also enjoyed cream tea in the courtyard at Pooh Corner and the food and garden at the Anchor was really good. The Red Thai curry was amazing. With regards to other eateries, we would recommend for takeaways both the Roochi Indian and Thai Time at Forest Row. Our favourite restaurant for quality food and friendliness was the Hatch Inn at Coleman’s Hatch. Would definitely recommend this stay. Which certainly provides something for everyone. My family are often difficult to please, but all four of us had a fabulous time. Thank you John & Louise.

Wonderful property with fantastic facilities and stunning gardens and play space
We had a fabulous week in this property. The 3 acres of lawn and gardens are stunning with plenty of wildlife on offer. The terraces and numerous seating areas overlooking the grounds give the perfect entertainment space or place to relax. The swimming pool was always warm and provided great fun for all the family. The property itself is large with loads of space even for our group of 8 and large sliding doors everywhere to enjoy the views. John and Louise were very welcoming hosts who were on hand for anything we needed. An excellent stay and we would consider booking again.
