This home offers a rural location and modern interiors, and we're all for it. The terrace, complete with a fire pit, is perfect for alfresco dining as the little ones play on the grass – it overlooks the Kent countryside, too. Indoors, the open-plan living area has more than enough space for four, so you definitely won't feel on top of each other here. Looking to explore? The village of Cowden is a short drive away, as is Tunbridge Wells, Penshurst Place, and Hever Castle. London Bridge is less than an hour by train, too – ideal for day trips to the capital.

A unique way to experience Kent, this glamping pod overlooks 'the Garden of England'. With two beds – one positioned towards countryside views and the other found in the mezzanine above – this could work for four, but it's perfect for a romantic weekend away. Surrounded by woodland, there's ample opportunity for scenic walks. That's when you aren't soaking in the hot tub. The decked seating area is also ideal for alfresco meals or sunset drinks, with only nature and wildlife for company. Because of the bed set-up, it isn't the most private space, but it'll do for a small family.

First Aid Kit

Set amongst a Medieval farmstead, this gorgeous barn conversion in the heart of the Sussex Weald is the perfect escape. Relax on your private, south-facing terrace, spot the local wildlife, or enjoy an alfresco lunch.

Inside, your hosts have done a fabulous job restoring this home whilst maintaining its original integrity. We love the exposed old brick walls and the lofty vaulted ceilings in the huge open-plan living space. When the Sussex evenings turn chilly, light the log burner, cosy up on the feather-filled sofa and enjoy a movie on the 65 inch Smart TV. Our absolute favourite feature here, though, is the sumptuous bedroom with its dramatic, dark panelled walls and super comfy natural linens.

Ideally located and close to the vibrant towns and picturesque villages of Sussex and the South Downs, this is the perfect rural retreat for those wanting to explore all that the area has to offer.

This converted grain store in the heart of the Kent countryside is as pretty as a picture. A perfect getaway for two, it manages to be both compact and spacious, with an open-plan living area that you’ll love to spend time in.

The surrounding area has plenty to offer if you can tear yourself away though. You’re only a couple of miles away from the all-important English country pub, and both Hever Castle and Penshurst Place are a ten-minute drive. 

Pull on your comfy boots and set out on a hike through the countryside, take a day trip to the refined spa town of Tunbridge Wells (twenty-five minutes by car), visit Chartwell (home of Winston Churchill) or just snuggle up in your little nest and forget about the rest of the world. 

There’s an outdoor seating area if you fancy dining alfresco, and from May to September, you can use the host’s lovely outdoor pool and terrace as well.

Grain of Truth

DVD Player

Originally the stables of a grand 18th-century house, this charming brick cottage is set in a prestigious part of Royal Tunbridge Wells. Tucked away in a mews just a fifteen-minute stroll from the heart of the town, it offers comfortable accommodation with plenty of character features including whitewashed Moorish beams and a cosy country kitchen. If cooking at home doesn’t appeal, there's a huge list of nearby restaurants and pubs to choose from, all just a pleasant walk away, or you can enjoy sunny picnics in the four acres of park-like shared grounds near the abode. 

Just on the doorstep is Tunbridge Wells Common with footpaths and rocky outcrops to explore, and at the bottom of the hill, you’ll find the famous colonnaded shopping area known as The Pantiles, lined with boutiques, art galleries, cafes and outdoor seating. During the summer months, it’s also home to an open-air jazz concert held every Thursday evening. You’ll be perfectly placed for venturing further afield as well whether it be for a day of sailing at Bewl Water Reservoir or a day trip to London which can be reached in forty minutes by train.

This lower-ground apartment has a great location in Royal Tunbridge Wells, but more about the address shortly. Firstly, the plush living room has been decorated to a high standard and houses the dining table and a small double sofa bed for guests five and six. The narrow, galley-style kitchen is well-equipped, too, if you want to create some home-cooked meals. If you want a bit of fresh air, up some steps outside you'll find a lawned garden to enjoy. And, when you want to explore the area, the Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery is a short stroll away. Other attractions such as Dunorlan Park with its meadows and lakes, are also within walking distance.

The Chalybeate Spring

Stay near the enchanted Ashdown Forest (fictional home of Winnie the Pooh) when you check in to this cosy house. Great for a family break or group getaway, there’s lots of space to make yourself comfortable (although if ten of you are staying, two will sleep on a sofa bed). The kitchen has everything you need to cater for a crowd, but with village pubs serving food nearby, you can easily take a break from cooking. Handily, this home is half an hour from London Gatwick Airport too, making it a convenient place to stay before or after a flight. And with National Trust homes and even the coast within day trip distance, this is a great base for seeing more of the South of England.

It's hard to believe that this home is not much more than twenty miles away from London. For a start, beautiful Kent countryside surrounds the property and you can fill your days with dragonfly-spotting, fruit-picking or wild-swimming in the river at the end of the garden.

The interior feels particularly rustic too, from the wooden ceiling beams and the plethora of exposed brickwork to the inglenook fireplace. That being said, there are all the modern comforts you could want here. Above the fireplace, a projection screen comes down for movie nights, while there are also tubs in all the bathrooms so you can start the day off at a super-slow pace.

The nearest village, Edenbridge, can be reached in six minutes' drive and is full of charming distractions, including a monthly farmer's market, a collection of medieval buildings and the Eden Valley Museum. Hever Castle only takes twelve minutes by car too and sits on the edge of the High Weald AONB.

Cows at the gate and stags in the garden – there’s no denying you’re in the countryside at this stunning Tudor-style house. The gabled roofs and wooden cladding may look like the English cottage idyll, but this home is super spacious inside and out. A sprawling garden is surrounded by wilderness on all sides with views of Ashdown forest and a Roman-style swimming pool at the centre. A pool house provides a bit of shade and there’s a stone-built barbecue for dining on a summer evening. If the weather turns, you can still enjoy that garden view from the conservatory. Inside, the home is a medley of cottage vibes and lavish modernity. Timber beamed ceilings are a reminder of the country locale, along with the wood-burning stove in the living room and the library alcove just off the conservatory. The kitchen is a shining example of 21st-century convenience, with appliances and gadgets for every style of cooking. We love the picture-frame windows, with armchairs set up by the drinks cabinet so you can enjoy a tipple while looking out over Ashdown Forest. Come bedtime, there’s a choice of sumptuous sleigh beds or four-posters fit for royalty.

Antlers In The Forest

Once the old tuck shop for the converted school next door, this comfortable cottage provides the perfect woodland escape for a couple or solo traveller looking for a relaxing, nature-filled stay. Located on the outskirts of the village of Fairwarp and hugging the edge of Ashdown Forest, there’s a serene tranquillity to this home that’s felt the moment you step inside. Tall vaulted ceilings, modern beams and wood floors set the scene in the main living space with skylights letting plenty of sunlight pour through. Whether you’re kicking back on the sofa with a good book or cooking up a feast in the open, modern kitchen, you’ll feel at ease in this bright, welcoming space. With a private decked terrace off of the living room too, you can enjoy sunny alfresco breakfasts and starlit drinks while taking in the peaceful quiet of your rural setting. We particularly love the gate at the back of the house, which leads directly into Ashdown Forest for day-long rambles in its heath and wooded expanse and plenty of opportunities to see the real-life setting of Winnie-the-Pooh. When you’re not hanging out in your country cottage or exploring the surrounding nature, drive into Fairwarp (four minutes away) for a hearty pub lunch. Alternatively, hop in your car to visit bustling Brighton with its famous beach and pier, forty minutes from your door. 


The Tuck Shop

This charming home sits in the grounds of its owner's residence, surrounded by woodland. It’s a pretty and peaceful home, ideal for friends or couples looking to enjoy a break away from the city. 

This lovely home is just a seven-minute drive from Tonbridge, with its shops, bars, restaurants, and cafes. It’s also home to one of Britain’s oldest medieval castles, which is well worth a visit. For even more choice when shopping, you might drive thirteen minutes to Royal Tunbridge Wells. For something a little more active, hire canoes or kayaks and journey along the River Medway. Round things off with a pub lunch for a pretty perfect day. 

The house itself is cheerful and welcoming, with everything you might need for your stay. You’ll wake up each morning feeling well-rested thanks to the comfortable bedrooms, and then might whip up breakfast to share at the dining table. After a day spent seeing the sights, you can return to this cosy haven and spend the evening in the garden. Let the kids tire themselves out playing table tennis and bouncing on the trampoline while you sip cocktails in the patio garden. Fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast, and later on toast marshmallows around the fire pit. 


The Groundsman

Looking to recharge your batteries and slip away to a quiet corner of the countryside? This charming home right on the banks of Bewl Water is the perfect hideaway for two. With breathtaking views across the water and a gorgeous garden from which to take it all in, we can't think of anything better than spending a few days here, listening to the birdsong and unwinding in the fresh air. A soak in the rolltop bath upstairs is the perfect way to start the morning – and there's nothing better than waking up to the quintessential Sussex views from the Juliette balcony. After a delicious breakfast, lace up your walking shoes and stroll the thirteen-mile trail around Bewl, or for a more relaxed pace, grab a good book and retreat to the bench at the water's edge. In the evenings, dine under the scented boughs of wisteria on the patio, savouring a glass of wine as the stars pop out. Head inside when the chill sets in and fire up the log-burner, ending the night with a Netflix film snuggled up on the squishy leather sofa.  When you're ready to pick up the pace, explore the quaint pubs, charming cafes and vintage antique shops in nearby Wadhurst and Ticehurst – both a ten-minute drive away – or set off and visit the numerous castles and National Trust properties in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Hidden away in the gardens of a 16th-century manor house, this home in East Sussex was once a stone farm building, but today, you'll find a rather lovely rural escape.

Despite the property's long history, the interior is contemporary in style, with smart Karndean flooring, soothing white walls and furnishings that come from the Scandi school of style. Aside from during the depths of winter, fresh flowers sourced from the flourishing south-facing garden, which can be spotted out of the living room windows, are thoughtfully arranged about the house by the host. 

Head out the back door and you can admire the magnolia tree and plant beds for yourself, or simply sit out on the patio with the barbecue smoking away in the background. From this vantage point, It's possible to see Newick's 11th-century sandstone church — the clock of which is silent, you might be happy to learn.

Elsewhere in the village, there's a cricket pitch, a children's playground, and a woodland walk that comes alive with bluebells in the spring. In the morning, why not check out the local bakery and grab some fresh croissants for breakfast? For lunch, stop by the cafe, and for dinner, choose from three oak-beamed pubs featuring roaring fires and tasty meals, all within easy walking distance.

Although the locale feels like the quintessential English countryside, the city of Brighton only takes thirty-five minutes to reach in the car whenever you have a hankering for a day at the seaside.

Nestled on the High Weald, this mediaeval manor house promises fun for all the family – or a large group of friends – on the Kent and Sussex border. Sure, if you’re a large group, a fair number of guests will be sleeping on sofa beds, but with spacious rooms, we don’t think it’ll be a problem. Step outside and you’ll find extensive grounds and a heated pool, shared with the other two homes on-site, perfect for spending time in the great outdoors. Able to tear yourself away from your country piece of paradise? We recommend a visit to Penshurst Place, Chiddingstone or Hever Castle, all a short drive away. 

Manor House Marvel

Located in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within the grounds of a 50-acre estate, this detached oast house overlooks fields and paddocks from its southwest-facing terrace and lawned garden. You may spot the local wildlife, including deer, foxes, and barn owls. If you have children with you, though, a fenced-off pond is nearby, so they'll need to be supervised. Inside, there's a log burner for cosy nights in and a charming circular main bedroom. It would be tempting to spend all your time here, wouldn't it? But that would be a shame as Bewl Water is a ten-minute stroll away, pretty Tunbridge Wells is a twenty-minute drive, and Camber Sands is a forty-minute ride.

The Old Oast House

This charming cottage is on the edge of Matfield, a village with two pubs and a great setting-off point for countryside walks. This cosy abode is ideal for those wanting to explore the Kent and Sussex countryside, as well as the local wine farms. Hastings and the coast are only a forty-five-minute drive, too. The cottage has plenty of room, with a double sofa bed in the summer room for those wanting to spread out. We love the beautiful enclosed garden and patio, where you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

This whimsical and romantic home in Kent makes the perfect setting for a quintessential countryside stay. 

Set within a wild yet thoughtfully curated garden, this converted barn is filled with character and charm. From the moment you step inside, there’s a sense of tradition that invites you to pause and soak in the atmosphere. This is a wonderful place to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of countryside life. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room or cooking in the kitchen, there’s a sense of warmth and comfort that flows throughout this home. 

Spend your days exploring the surrounding countryside. There are wonderful walking trails from the door, as well as local pubs, cafes and shops in Westerham village – only thirteen–minutes away. History lovers will find themselves drawn to Chartwell House – the former home of Winston Churchill is a six–minute drive away. 

After a day in the fresh air, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to relax in the roll-top bath. Warm summer evenings can be spent in the beautiful garden, enjoying the playful sweetness of this setting. And on cooler nights, light up the wood-burning fire and share a cosy evening in traditional English style. 

The Rose in Bloom

Safe

Seamlessly blending modern design, eco credentials and a nod to its past as a chapel, it’s not hard to see why this home caught our eye. With its cosy wood burner and peaceful, rural location, it’s impossible not to relax here. Nestled in the heart of Twitton, between the villages of Otford and Shoreham, you’ll find scenic walks aplenty in the local area, along with country pubs offering sustenance after you’ve burnt off a few calories hiking. Further afield, there are several National Trust properties worth visiting, or a vineyard within walking distance – there’s something for everyone here.

Herb Garden

This spectacular Jacobean manor blends a tapestry of rich history with a modern, eco-friendly future. Set in a 500 acre estate on an organic dairy farm, this house is a sanctuary for lovers of the English countryside and would be the perfect escape for large groups and families. Original 17th century facets like the thatched dining room, diamond pane and stained glass windows have been preserved. There are parlours and living rooms for every mood, from the library with crimson leather sofas to the wood panelled drawing room for cosy nights by the fire.

Similarly there is a dining room for each meal. Morning sun streams into the breakfast room, while you can live out period drama fantasies in the grand Jacobean dining hall. The kitchen is well suited for cooking big meals, equipped with an Aga and lots of worktop space. Each light-filled bedroom has its own character, oozing rustic English charm, and the beds can be separated into twins on request. 

The natural surroundings will imbue you with a sense of peace. The house looks onto a pond and verdant gardens, and there are plenty of footpaths leading off the estate through the untamed countryside – some to excellent local pubs. Your hosts have made every effort for the estate to be eco-friendly, using green energy for heating and water and a rewilding project in the gardens. On warmer days you can enjoy Pimms and a barbecue on the lawn, surrounded by Arcadian beauty. 

Willoughby's

Safety Gates

Located on the grounds of a private estate, this renovated oast house provides the perfect setting for a restorative rural escape. Outside, you can relax in the private garden and follow hiking trails straight from the door. It’s also just a ten-minute drive to Sevenoaks and you’ll find many National Trust treasures within easy reach. Wherever the day takes you, this home welcomes you to enjoy cosy evenings by the woodburning fire and long soaks in the bath. Children’s amenities can be arranged on request, and your host can help organise sweet extras like wine tastings and massage treatments. 

Meadow Retreat

Surrounded by the beautiful countryside of Kent, this little cottage provides the ideal setting for a refreshing rural escape. From here, you can follow hiking trails straight from the door and you’ll find the village of Brenchley is just a short stroll away. Wherever the day takes you, this home has all the essentials needed for a relaxing stay. The rooms are simple, family-friendly and well-suited to couples travelling with pets. It’s worth noting the grounds are shared with the neighbouring home, but it still retains a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. 

Rustic Sanctuary 

Tennis Court

This charming, characterful cottage is an absolute West Sussex gem. Dating back four centuries this historic home features a fantastic farmhouse style kitchen and dining room and separate sitting room as well as access to a shared garden, tennis court and hot tub, making it the perfect place to spend quality time with friends and family. Boasting exposed brick walls and floors and exceptionally beautiful beamed ceilings as well as its very own suit of armour, this home for all seasons is bound to make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. 

In the spring and summer months you’ll love getting in a game of tennis before luxuriating in the hot tub, dining or lounging alfresco and wandering about the large garden, glass of wine in hand. In the autumn and winter months delight in being able to cosying up in the sitting room and play games or host a movie night in front of the roaring fire. 

If you fancy stretching your legs and getting out and about in the fresh air, your home’s location at the bottom of a country lane in Crawley Down means you can explore the High Weald Area of National Beauty before stopping for a well-earned pint at one of the local village pubs. Ideally situated close to the borders of Kent and Surrey, you’ll also be easily able to snoop around the National Trust properties of Standen, Sheffield Park, Nymans Gardens and Polesdon Lacy, or if you’re the more outdoorsy type, other nearby attractions include Kew Wakehurst, the Bluebell Railway and Winnie the Pooh’s favourite hangout – Ashdown Forest.


Beams Galore

You’ll find this traditional family home sitting peacefully between Kent and East Sussex. Outside, there’s a private garden with a large deck and a plunge pond for icy cold dips. Well-behaved dogs are welcome on request and the rooms are great for socialising, stretching out and catching up on work. Housekeeping can be arranged by your host and you’ll find everything you could need within easy reach. From here, it’s just a short stroll to the local pub, restaurants and the nearest shop. 


The Rosie 

Access to Beach

Set on the second floor of an apartment building overlooking Hastings' pedestrianised high street, this spot is right in the thick of the action. Lap up the atmosphere of the Old Town from the private balcony with a glass of wine in hand. It's the perfect place for people watching as you'll be surrounded by plenty of bars, restaurants and independent shops. All this – plus the beach and the seafront are just a three-minute stroll away – you can smell the sea air from the balcony. Inside the apartment, contemporary interiors present a comfortable space with an open plan living and dining area which invites in natural light all day long. Providing an idyllic spot for a solo traveller or a couple visiting Hastings, you'll enjoy the convenience of this home the most.

You’ll also find this is a fantastic base for exploring Surrey. From here, it’s just a short drive to Cobham High Street and Oxshott, while Hampton Court is also within easy reach.

Garden / Courtyard

Set on a farm in West Sussex, this charming cottage is the perfect couple’s retreat or solo getaway. The interiors are bright and fun, with pops of block colour punctuating each room. Downstairs there’s a cosy living area with a wood burning stove, which you can put a log on and curl up in front of a film in the evening. The modern kitchen is well stocked for cooking up homely meals, or on warm days fire up the barbecue and enjoy lunch alfresco at the wooden table outside. Look out the kitchen window and you might spot Nellie and Maggie, the shaggy Shetland ponies whose paddock is twenty feet away. Feel free to give them a carrot or two! 

The cottage is on a farm run by your hosts. You are surrounded by the great outdoors here, and you’ll have direct access to footpaths and bridleways which take you through the farm and out into the picturesque countryside beyond. As you walk out, stop by the Stud house, where you can say hello to the native ponies in their stable. The village of Billingshurst is a four-minute drive away, where you’ll find a supermarket and some local country pubs. Pay a visit to the Nyetimber vineyard, a fourteen-minute drive away, and pick up some of their excellent sparkling wine. After a day of exploring, there’s nothing better than enjoying a glass of bubbly back at home as the sun sets over the fields. 

Stud Cottage

Right on the edge of Orlestone Forest and a twenty-minute drive from the coast, this quaint bolthole has been plucked from the lid of a chocolate box. Your host, Caroline, has created a cosy, clever and modern delight of a home with a mix of rustic and mid-century furnishings. Two comfy armchairs are positioned in front of the sliding doors, so you can keep one eye on the television and the other on the wildlife busying itself in the immaculate garden. Tuck into breakfast in your private courtyard before taking a stroll past the pond and golden barley fields to the paddock, where Caroline’s Soay sheep are kept. Set out on a yomp along country lanes, stopping at gastro pubs along the way. And when it’s time to get some rest, we guarantee you’ll be out like a light as soon as your head hits the pillow of your cloud-soft bed.

Baby Monitor

The lovely village of Cranleigh is within walking distance and has all the amenities you could need. 

With your bags full of fresh local produce, you’ll love coming home to this sanctuary in the trees. Put on a playlist, light up the barbecue and enjoy the magic of this unique setting.
