Property code: OC-TW653

A traditional country aesthetic awaits in this charming dog-friendly cottage set deep in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Merrily hosting up to six guests and three dogs, the property is perfect for any long-awaited get-together. As this property is situated on a working sheep farm, a close eye should be kept on your three energetic doggos. However, the many wonders of the surrounding Sussex countryside offer an endless array of places for your dogs to enjoy a stretch of freedom, whether they’re hunting for wildlife in Hartfield Forest or leaving no stick unfetched along the sprawling banks of the River Medway.

Put your best paw forward and step into this stunning self-catered holiday home. Charming features including original beams and a handsome fireplace add to the charm of the accommodation. Said fireplace has been fitted with a wood burner which creates the cosiest spot for your three dogs to curl up beside at the end of each evening. With the rest of the pack crowded around a board game or watching something on TV, you can leave your sleeping pups to dream peacefully of walkies passed. When it’s time for the human members of the pack to get to bed, three bedrooms can be found just upstairs. Two of these traditional bedrooms are interconnected, ideal for families with younger children.

Lead the way to adventure from the neighbouring village of Hartfield (1 mile), commonly known as Winnie the Pooh Country. Pick up some puppy treats and a tennis ball or two to embark on an adventure along the Hartfield Forest Way (0.5 miles) or let your dogs fetch you some sticks for a game of pooh sticks on Pooh Sticks Bridge (2.5 miles). Commonly known as the inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood, nearby Ashdown Forest (4.5 miles) presents endless routes for enjoying plenty of walks with man’s best friend.

The cottage was basically good but there were a number of issues that needed attention - the shower over the bath was falling apart - a number of doors wouldnt open and shut properly - the vacuum cleaner was unsafe to use - there was no wheelie bin to put our rubbish in when we left - the information folder needed updating as many places were no lRead moreonger open - there were a variety of phone numbers which could be used to contact the owner, some seemed to be outdated as there was no reply to our emails when we tried to contact her However the outlook from the cottage over the fields and surrounding countryside was very good Hide
