Go mutts on a break with a group of up to seven plus one furry friend at this traditional property in Robertsbridge. It’s an ideal base for an extended family or two small families, set in a quiet Sussex location with a pretty garden offering a picturesque summer house, furnished patio, BBQ with far-reaching views down over the lawn and to the local countryside beyond. When you’re not out leading the way to adventure around the Sussex/Kent borders, you can spend hours here just watching little ones have a ball with the dog.
This quiet cottage is quaint with period features, as its Grade II listing would suggest, but it’s also spacious and comfortable with a really homely vibe. It’s stylishly furnished throughout, with tasteful decor. At day’s end, choose between the lounge with its open fire in an inglenook, cosy sofas and exposed beams with views through to the dining room or a cute snug with a TV/DVD player. Both are equally welcoming spaces. Cooking won’t feel such a chore in the generous and well-equipped contemporary kitchen, complete with range-style cooker. Two soothing and inviting double bedrooms create a relaxed vibe, plus there’s another bedroom with bunks and an extra single bed. The pretty garden is accessed via French doors from the dining room, so well-behaved canine chums can come and go.
Grab your dog’s lead and head out to explore the footpaths of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty around this cottage. Robertsbridge village offers plenty of history, with timber-framed houses, Cistercian abbey ruins and a church that appears in the Domesday Book. Venture 5 miles to historic Battle which boasts indie shops, cafes and restaurants. Or trendy Hastings (11 miles) offers more of the same plus seaside shenanigans.
