About this property
Comfortable Barn, Ashdown Forest, Fantastic Local Pub, Excellent For Walkers
The Barn is set in the landscaped gardens of the owners home nestling in a valley typical of the High Weald Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty and makes the perfect spot for a relaxing break.
Accommodation consists of an open plan kitchen/living/dining area, with views onto the garden. Extra guests could sleep on the large sofa bed if needed. The kitchen is fully equipped with a full size hob and oven, a washing machine and dishwasher. The bathroom is on the ground floor and has a powerful shower and heated towel rail in order your fresh towels are always warm and dry. Upstairs in the large galleried bedroom there is a comfortable king size bed with plenty of room for the z-bed or a cot (not provided) if required. Outside guests are welcome to use the garden, sit on the decked area and use the sun loungers. All linens and towels are included in the rental price.
Ideally located to visit many of the local attractions such as bluebell railway, Sheffield park gardens, groombridge place and of course all that Ashdown Forest has to offer including Pooh Bear. Plumpton & Lingfield racecourses are a short drive away as is the All England show Jumping Course at Hickstead. Brighton & London are within easy reach with excellent road/rail/bus links. Gatwick Airport is 25mins by car. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders are very welcome. Bring your horse on holiday too, the owners stables and grazing is just a mile away. Permits to ride on Ashdown Forest can be arranged for guests and your hosts have a detailed knowledge of the numerous local bridleways and footpaths.
Flexible arrival/departure times.
Secure alarmed garage storage for bikes/bicycles available, just ask when booking

About the host
Hosted by Helen McLennan
The Barn is in the grounds of our family home, so we are always around to suggest days out and deal with any questions. My husband, I, and youngest daughter, have lived here for over ten years and love this friendly village and beautiful countryside. We have a collection of animals, including chickens providing plenty of fresh eggs for guests. Together with my husbands collection of motorbikes!
Why they chose this property
This is a beautiful part of Sussex and a very friendly village. The Barn is located in our half acre of landscaped gardens. The area has lots of wildlife, watch the deer graze in the fields around you whilst you enjoy a drink. Whilst we are rural London and Brighton are very easy to reach making this the perfect spot to explore the south east of England.
What makes this property unique
This area is perfect for walking, cycling and horse riding with lots of local attractions to visit, yet so close to Brighton and London
