Set at the end of an idyllic lane, 3 miles east of the medieval village of Frant, you and your furry friends will be in tranquil bliss in this sublime rural retreat. Surrounded by the exquisite East Sussex countryside, there are a plethora of superb walks right on your doorstep, including the gorgeous 8 miles to Eridge Green, and the Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk around the glorious Weald.

The pubs in Frant and Bells Yew Green (1.5 miles) are packed with canine-cordial conviviality.

Inside, the terracotta tiled floor maximises light and unites the rooms in fresh and airy continuity. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a joyous space, with a high ceiling, inset LED lighting, handmade kitchen table, wood burner and French doors opening onto the patio, letting the verdant outside in. Along the hall, there is one king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom, and, down a couple of steps, the master bedroom with far-reaching views,  melting the boundaries between walls and natural wonder. Unwind with a BBQ and libation on the patio and imbibe the bucolic beauty all around, or savour morning coffee and croissants amidst country fields while you ponder the day’s treats ahead. Please note, there’s a refundable £300 security deposit for this property, prior to your stay.

An excellent stay and a lot of space for 6 grown-ups - a lovely space. Fantastic views and very peaceful. Everyone loved it. Lots of National Trust places to visit and pretty little towns and villages. One of the best cottages with a splendid well thought out basket of goodies on arrival. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay. We didnt feel comfortable driving down the single track approach road, but did not actually meet anything. A couple of times a car turned into the road as we were exiting it so other traffic did use that way.

The stables are wonderful, one of the best we've stayed in for both comfort and position. The rooms are spacious but really warm with underfloor heating and a wood burner. The kitchen is well equipped, the dining chairs are comfortable, the sofas are perfect for three couples to spread out and relax. All the beds are comfortable, great hanging spacRead moree, warm en-suits with quality radiators and plentiful hot water. Plus a washing machine. Beautiful, peaceful, quiet countryside surroundings.

Very well appointed cottage with en-suites to all bedrooms and mostly on one level. Peaceful and quiet location, benefiting from eco-friendly heating system boosted by log burner with ample logs and kindling supplied. Undercover parking a plus when loading unloading in poor weather.

Cottage is in an idyllic situation although a little away from most things. Definitely need to have a car to get around. Lots of wonderful wildlife in the area and a beautiful setting.
