Overview
Property code: OC-B34866

Welcoming up to two dogs, this 16th-century Grade II-listed farmhouse in Heathfield makes a stunning base for tail-wagging adventures with friends and family. Lucky pups can roam the beautiful High Weald National Landscape alongside their eight humans, before racing around the enclosed garden back at base while everyone else unwinds in the hot tub or heated swim spa.

Retaining its original character with exposed beams, sloped ceilings, and ornate stonework, this cottage offers a seamless blend of period features and up-to-date comforts. Feed the pups in the farmhouse kitchen while you pop the kettle on to warm up after bracing walks. Steps lead to the lounge, where soft sofas beckon you and your pooches to enjoy a quick snooze beside the popping wood burner. Alternatively, hunker down in the snug with a book and a blanket. When it’s time for bed, say goodnight to sleepy pups and head upstairs to four utterly charming bedrooms and a Jacuzzi bathroom. Each morning, wake up slowly to a retreat of tranquillity out in the garden. It’s enclosed, which is handy for spirited woofers, and also means humans can float away in the heated swim spa and bubbling hot tub without a care in the world. Relax and enjoy the views with your coffee on the decking or strike up the BBQ for an outdoor breakfast buffet.

You’re right in the heart of the High Weald National Landscape, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with immersive medieval woodlands and rolling hillsides to wander at your leisure. When you’re not wandering your immediate surroundings, soak up the magic at Bodiam Castle, 11.5 miles away, with wonderful walks around its enchanting parkland. There are shops and dog-friendly cafes in Battle, 12 miles away, or head 20.5 miles to Hastings or Eastbourne for a traditional beach day.

We had a great time in this lovely and picturesque cottage! The back garden was great for playing with our dog, sniffing and and enjoying the nature. The deck is lovely to hang around, enjoy the sun and relaxing in the hot tub. Inside was also super charming and organized, even when it was raining, we were happy to cozy up and watch a DVD from the Read morecollection. Hide

We all really enjoyed our stay, the kids loved the swimming pool and large garden. Theres a couple of horses on the grounds that are beautifully well kept. All the bedrooms were really comfortable and the kitchen and living rooms everything you could ever need for your stay.
