Winters Farm Cottage

Description

If you're looking for the perfect spot to unwind in the countryside, then look no further.  Winters Farm Cottage has been beautifully converted from a former stable block into the perfect spacious retreat for two.  It is situated in a rural location away from the owner's main farmhouse yet close to the historic town of Mayfield; a 25 minute walk will take you into Mayfield where you will find a couple of recommended dog friendly pubs. The cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside with stunning views and there are footpaths from your doorstep.  The interior of the cottage has been decorated carefully with thoughtful touches throughout, with comfort and cosiness in mind, and has a wood burning stove for those chilly evenings.  There are French doors opening onto the terrace with a chimenea, the perfect accompaniment for outside dining at anytime of the year.  Relax inside or outside at this lovely converted cottage and enjoy a wonderful experience in the Sussex countryside with the stunning coastline only 18 miles away.

There is a mainline station at Stonegate which is 4 miles from the property; the owners are happy to provide contact details for local taxis if required. The location is perfect for walking with your pet on the public footpaths which pass right by the property and there is a gentle 3 mile circular walk around Mayfield and the surrounding countryside. There are cycle routes and trails at nearby Bewl Water and Bedgebury Forest.  Close by there are some lovely gardens and National Trust properties including Pashley Manor, Hever and Scotney Castles.  Battle, with its ruined Abbey and the Herstmonceux Castle and Observatory Science Centre are an enjoyable day out as is Batemans,  the former home of Rudyard Kipling.  The nearest pubs are in Mayfield where you will find The Rose & Crown which is dog friendly and The Middle House, both of which serve excellent food and local beers.  The Star at Old Heathfield again serves very good food and is dog friendly. Tunbridge Wells is a 20 minute drive to the north and is a historical spa town also known for its vibrant cafe and shopping culture. Historic Rye is to the south as is the Sussex coastline which will take you from Hastings to Brighton. The shingle beach at Pevensey Bay is 18 miles away, is pretty quiet with good views over the channel.  Dogs are allowed on this beach although restrictions may apply in high season.
