This beautifully renovated holiday home in the heart of the Sussex countryside is a sophisticated accommodation option for a getaway with your extended family or a large group of friends. Sleeping 16 people across six bedrooms and welcoming one canine companion, this property is ideal if you enjoy a little opulence when you travel. You’ll enjoy relaxing in the outdoor hot tub, and your pup will adore exploring the large, enclosed garden.

 

Step inside this impressive property and you’ll be welcomed by a grand hallway leading to a stylish kitchen/diner with garden views. To make the most of the views, open up the bifold doors that lead into the garden. Cook up a storm for your loved ones in the uber-stylish kitchen and host a dinner party for 16 in the dining area. Alternatively, go out into the suntrap of a south-facing garden and fire up the BBQ. After dinner, head to the spacious lounge to watch a movie while your pup snoozes in front of the wood burner, or if you’re feeling lively, make your way to the games room above the garage. If you’re yearning for some quality me-time, retire to the opulent ‘Woodland’ room with a book, or take a dip in the outdoor hot tub. At the end of the day, there are six gorgeous bedrooms to choose from on the property’s two upper floors.

 

Set in the stunning High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there’s no shortage of dog walks available right from your front door. Alternatively, take your pup for a stroll around one of England’s most significant historic sites: the Battle of Hastings (10 miles). Afterwards, you can let off a little steam at Hastings Adventure and Crazy Golf (17.5 miles), where your pup is welcome to tag along.

We spent a truly lovely long weekend here with 3 generations of our family, aged from 9 and 81. The location was idyllic, facilities and cleanliness great, and house incredibly comfortable. Future visitors with dogs might find it useful to know that the garden is not fully fenced and there is an abundance of wildlife around (but that wasn't an issuRead moree for us). Forge House was a fantastic base to either explore the local attractions or just soak up the peace and quiet of this beautiful area. Hide

A wonderful cottage with exceptional spaces and plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Even plastic cups and glasses for use in the hot tub!
