Let your dogs run free around the enclosed garden of this gorgeous holiday cottage. Period character blends with modern comforts, making this a fabulous destination for a large family get-together or a group of friends. Set 1.5 miles from the lovely village of Ticehurst, it’s surrounded by scenic walks and within reach of several dog-friendly historic properties.
There’s so much to enjoy in this beautifully restored historic property, including rugged beams, timber doors, exposed brickwork and internal steps. Follow your hounds inside and set their bowls down on the tiled floor of the sweet breakfast room, also a great place to store their food. Explore the kitchen, with its range cooker and coffee machine, and the dining room, where there’s a Sonos speaker provided for background music while you eat. In the glorious lounge there’s an array of seating, a wood burner and a Smart TV – so inviting you may never want to leave. Completing the ground floor are two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, sharing a shower room. Find the two remaining bedrooms on the first floor: a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, and a twin with an en-suite shower room. When four-pawed pals are ready to play, head into the garden with its large lawn, patio with dining furniture, and bike storage. The property also benefits from parking for four cars.
In Ticehurst, you’ll find a dog-friendly pub serving seasonal food, with stunning scenery all around just waiting to be explored by eager hounds. If you love visiting National Trust properties, Batemans, Bodiam Castle and Scotney Castle – all welcoming pups on leads – are within 7 miles. Head to Bedgebury National Pinetum, 3 miles away, where there’s a dog-focused trail featuring a variety of games and challenges for you and your furry friend to complete.
