Overview
Property code: OC-C32764

Surrounded by walking trails your pups will love, this elegant barn also offers a huge, enclosed lawn that's ideal for zoomies as you dine al fresco and enjoy the views. Set in the picturesque High Weald of Sussex, it's perfect for couples, friends or small families, with a sociable, open-plan living space and three versatile bedrooms.

This fabulous property mingles the best of old and new, with exposed beams, soaring ceilings and a restful colour scheme. Head inside with your furry pals and enjoy the expansive living space, which combines a kitchen, dining area and lounge. The kitchen (one step up) includes an electric range cooker, while the separate utility room has a microwave - and may be the best place to store pet food and bowls. After supper, stretch out on the comfortable seating and enjoy the chance to unwind, perhaps with the patio doors thrown open for some country air. There's a wood burner to keep the chill off in cooler months, and a Smart TV for easy entertainment. The bedrooms are the picture of chic simplicity. On the ground floor, you'll find a pretty double and a spacious super-king-size, which has ample storage and an en-suite bathroom. A second double bedroom, with areas of low, sloping ceiling, can be found on the mezzanine level overlooking the hall. A sleek family shower room on the ground floor completes this gorgeous interior. Step outside to a private patio with uninterrupted views and enjoy al fresco meals as your canine companions roam the lawn. You'll have private parking for two cars.

For superb walks your chums will love, head to Brede High Woods, 3.5 miles away, or Darwell Reservoir, 6 miles away. Well-behaved dogs on leads are even welcome in the shop, tasting room and gardens of Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard, just 1 mile away.

What a fabulous property! Two bedrooms and bathrooms at ground level. Well equipped. Very comfortable bed. The private garden is huge .. and the view from the living room is gorgeous. The outdoor furniture was very comfortable. Utility room was great for coats and shoes. The kitchen is enviably lovely!

The village is very pretty with a great dog friendly pub and village stores. Would recommend this property Hide

We had a lovely stay. The location was ideal with amenities nearby. The property had charm, warmth and character - having access to a big garden that backed onto farmland was a big bonus.

We stayed for 4 nights and found the property to be clean and well equipped. Unfortunately on one of the days we stayed two gardeners entered the garden in the morning and stayed until almost 6pm that evening, meaning that we could not use it with our children or dogs. We were not informed that this was going to happen. The garden was one of the maRead morein reasons we had booked this property so it definitely impacted our time there. Obviously maintenance is needed in every property but this was an entire day out of a short stay. I raised this with Holiday Cottages and the owner has since apologised via the company. One thing to note is that dogs are not allowed on the furniture. This wasn't too much of an issue as ours had their beds with them, but if you have a dog that likes to sleep on the bed or sit on the sofa then this place probably isn't suitable. Had we not had the issue with the garden then I would have given a much higher rating. Hide

Beautiful cottage, very clean it felt like we were the first visitors, there were many historic houses to visit locally. the garden is great but as I pointed out in the above comment a fence around the pond would be excellent.

Nice cottage, very comfortable with great views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Good walks are easily accessible from the cottage and I would recommend the circular walk that goes via Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard.

The property was perfect for our break. Very cosy and comfortable with an amazing garden and plenty of space for our dog. The walks across the countryside from the back gate were perfect and views from the sitting room are stunning. Would definitely recommend this property.

A beautiful home from home, well equipped, and well thought out. The garden is wonderful for dogs, our boy loved racing around it, and the smell of all the visiting wildlife kept him occupied! The location is great. Good walks, and not far from local tourist spots.
