This pretty property, on the edge of the picturesque village of Lamberhurst, makes a perfect romantic retreat for you, a loved one and a special four-legged friend. You’ll be in dog-walking heaven, with a network of paths and trails criss-crossing from your doorstep across the beautiful High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Just 2 miles away is National Trust’s Scotney Castle, where you and the pup can explore the gorgeous 780-acre estate.
The cottage, located in the owner’s grounds, has a handy hallway for storing all your dog-walking gear. After a day of adventure, curl up on the sofa, with Fido stretched out at your feet, in the cosy lounge area and pop on a good film or relax with your favourite book. After a romantic dinner for two, retire to the bedroom, which boasts fabulous views across the surrounding countryside. Outside, the enclosed outdoor area also has spectacular rural views. On a warm evening, fire up the BBQ and dine under the stars whilst the hound potters around the garden.
A relaxing afternoon can be spent at Scotney Castle - there’s a great selection of dog walks that you can take through the grounds, before grabbing a bite to eat in the tearoom, where there’s a handy undercover outdoor seating area for you and the woofer. If you fancy a walk to really get your canines into, why not take on the 90-mile High Weald Landscape Trail? The route meanders through the countryside, linking ridge-top villages and historic gardens and you can join it at Groombridge, 10 miles away. Day trips to the coast are also possible from the property, with the popular medieval town of Rye and the gorgeous golden sands at Camber both within 25 miles of the property.
