An elegantly finished cottage brimming with rustic charm and nestled in the trendy and picturesque village of Ticehurst, this hideaway is the perfect relaxing bolthole for a couples retreat with a furry-pawed duo in tow. Soak in the serene glistening reservoir at Bewl Water as you bound along the leafy woodland circular route, then tuck into a hearty cooked breakfast in the beautiful farmhouse kitchen and sneak some sausages to your hungry hounds.
This cosy property boasts a stylish country home interior with exposed wooden beams, a feature stone fireplace, and warm earthy tones throughout. Towel down your soggy pups then step into the inviting lounge and flop down by the crackling wood burner with a well-earned brew. Pad through to the sleek kitchen with shaker-style cabinetry and a traditional Belfast sink then whip up a post-adventure spread, pour some aperitifs, and gather around the table to debrief on the day’s events with your canine companions curled by your feet. Scope out the best cosy nooks for plush doggy beds then rest up in the bedrooms consisting of a double and a small double. Spray down muddy pups with the warm water outdoor hose, securely lock up your bikes to the ground anchor on the side patio, then make the most of balmy evenings on the enclosed deck.
Step back in time as you wander the pretty streets of Ticehurst, 200 metres, and settle in for a round at the local pub while your dog dozes by the crackling open fire. Saunter through the 300 acres of grounds at Bateman’s House and Gardens, 6 miles, where refreshing bowls of water are provided by the tearoom for your parched pup. Don’t miss a wonderful ball-throwing backdrop along the dog-friendly section of shingly Bexhill Beach, 21 miles.
