As refined and attractive a home as you're likely to see, this single-storey apartment is a wing of a Grade II Gothic mansion. But what makes it truly unique is that it faces the ruins of an ancient Franciscan abbey that's of such historical importance it's been granted Scheduled Monument status. Set in the home's grounds, the abbey dates from 1285 and it's quite a sight to wake up to each morning.

Inside, the home is beautifully detailed, with character features like a meticulously restored original fireplace with log burner in the living room, Gothic plasterwork, ornate cornice to the high ceilings and stone mullion windows. Decorated in a classical country residence style, there's a Chesterfield to lounge upon, a vintage dining table and chairs, and an antique writing table. But it also boasts some tasteful modern touches, like the emperor-size bed with a cashmere and wool mattress and 800 thread count linen in the master bedroom, the stylish marble bathrooms, the cosy double bed and built-in bunkbed in the second bedroom. Comfortable and warm, it's a real home from home, with a well kitted-out kitchen (including a basket of local produce) and unbeatable views framed by tall windows.

With its own private and fully enclosed garden and a wood-fired hot tub, you'll no doubt be spending much of your time outdoors, and there's a table and chairs plus a barbecue for meals alfresco. But the village pub is only a short walk away and the charming medieval town of Rye, bursting with pubs, shops and restaurants, is just a few minutes by car. Explore Winchelsea’s cellar tours, 13th century church with stunning stained glass windows, farm shop, pub, and vineyard wine tours hosted by a neighbour of the home. Keen walkers can hike across the marshes, while beach lovers will be in their element – Winchelsea beach is just down the road, while both Rye Harbour and the famous dunes of Camber Sands are a short drive. You're also only two hours from London.

A quintessentially English countryside escape, you may have seen this characterful 16th-century manor feature in the film Mr Holmes and more notably in season three of The Crown. In honour of such a humble appearance – we've named this home after the episode in which it features, titled "Cri de Coeur". Surrounded by 720-acres of National Trust farmland, the property boasts a location amidst breathtaking natural beauty that stretches as far as the eye can see. There's even a 30-acre family-run vineyard owned that guests have the opportunity to discover on a wine tour and tasting organised by the hosts. Make the most of the on-site wine tasting lounge – it's the perfect place to socialise after a day out in the country air. 

As well as communal access to the winery, you'll have private access to an entire wing of the home as well as a private piece of the garden – separate from any other guests. Stone paths pave the way inside to the cosy main living space with a traditional aesthetic throughout. While there isn't a kitchen as such in the wing, the living area includes a fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle and some dining essentials so that you can enjoy simple meals around the table. After country walks through the sheep fields or to Winchelsea Beach (fifty minutes away on foot) – make returning and snuggling up in front of the log burner fire a cosy ritual that you'll crave long after your stay. From the bedroom windows, take in the best views in the house, as the vistas sweep across the rolling hills and out to sea. With the town of Rye positioned just 4 miles away, this place is not as remote as it may seem – as you'll have convenient access to an array of charming shops, pubs and restaurants just a ten-minute drive away.

We could tell this exquisite home, in the heart of the East Sussex countryside, is owned by an interior photographer – it's picture-perfect. We love the attention to detail that has gone into this place. It's been designed with entertainment in mind – relax in the hot tub in the secluded south-facing garden with a glass of Sussex fizz, dine under the shade of the vine-covered pergola or sunbathe on the loungers. Play croquet on the extensive lawn or simply spot the wildlife – if you're lucky, you may see rabbits, badgers and the occasional deer. 

Inside, there are even more options to keep your family or friends occupied. Listen to some music on the Bluetooth sound system, channel your inner Mozart at the electric piano or bang out some rhythms on the drum kit. If music isn't your thing, watch a movie in the cinema room or play some table tennis. After all that activity, unwind by the open fire if it's chilly, read a book on the Barcelona-style chair or have a soak in one of the freestanding baths. 

With so much to do here, you may not find the time to explore, but if you do, you'll be rewarded with magnificent beaches and charming towns. Hastings, with its bars, cafes and music scene, is just over fifteen minutes by car, while it's the same distance to Rye. Camber Sands is Twenty-five minutes, while Great Dixter House and Gardens, built by architect Edwin Lutyens, is a ten-minute drive.

Sea views and a hot tub — need we say more? This dog-friendly stone cottage was once part of the late comedian Spike Milligan’s home and, while it can be rented alongside the adjoining cottage for larger groups, we think it makes an ideal self-contained retreat. Both the airy open-plan living-dining area and the main bedroom open directly onto the garden, which features a barbecue for alfresco dining with a side of sea breeze. It's perfectly placed, too, with Rye, Camber Sands, and Hastings all within easy driving distance.

You are mere footsteps from a number of traditional pubs, contemporary restaurants serving farm-to-table produce and just a ten-minute stroll to the Rye Castle Museum. If you’re feeling up to it, you can reach Camber Sands in just over an hour by foot or a ten-minute drive in the car. Back at home, a living space that’s equal parts stylish and cosy calls for cups of tea in front of the fire. And when it’s time to head for the land of nod, an inviting bedroom finished in soothing coastal tones awaits.

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. Serve up a home-cooked meal at the dining area or head to the beach for some fish and chips by the sea. Enjoy wandering the historic streets by day and drinking in the local bars by night. With so much at your fingertips here, you'll get to experience the best of Hastings from this well-positioned pad.

Nestled in a glorious garden offering fabulous views (and a small glimpse of the sea), this two-bedroom home is made with relaxation in mind. Enjoy lounging in the shade of the silver birch trees, fire up the barbecue for an al fresco feast, then hop in the hot tub and savour the scenery. Inside, you’ll find the living and sleeping space all on one level, including a cosy sofa that can convert to sleep two guests, and a modern kitchen with everything you need to feed family and friends. A serene spot for a holiday, this home is also a short drive from the shops and pubs of Rye, as well as the golden dunes of Camber Sands and historic Hastings.

A stone’s throw from Camber Sands, this stylish home takes beach shack to glamorous new heights, making it the perfect coastal retreat for friendly get-togethers and extended families. 

The interior is characterfully designed using reclaimed and antique materials, offering a revitalised version of seaside chic. The host is evidently a fan of up-cycling – look out for creative touches such as repurposed doors, stain-glass windows and rustic radiators. We especially love the wood-panelled walls and flooring that shape the space as a whole, while the comfortable furnishings, neutral tones and wood-burning stove keep things cosy. 

Here, as much attention has been paid to comfort as it has to style – drift off to sleep beneath Egyptian cotton bed linen or relax on leather sofas in the sitting room. But, don’t spend too much time inside as this home is close to an expansive sandy beach. Enjoy exclusive use of a private “No Through” sandy road, with access only to residents, and walk to the sand dunes in two minutes. End the day with early-evening sundowners on the front porch, sharing anecdotes and listening to the waves lapping in and out of the shore, before heading into the local village for a spot of traditional pub grub, five minutes away on foot. 

Camber Sands

A magical place to stay at any time of year, this elegant apartment sits within one wing of a vast Gothic mansion. Built in the early 19th Century, lovers of historical architecture will marvel at the ornate coving, the original fireplace and the stone mullion windows, and will find themselves staring out at a designated Site of Special Historic Interest – the imposing ruins of the 13th Century Franciscan abbey on the estate. Privately owned and with just one other holiday home on the site, this place is like stepping back in time. A deep sense of peace pervades the ancient site, whilst the accommodation provides a sense of quiet luxury with a fully enclosed garden

You enter your first-floor retreat through a courtyard and by climbing the stairs to the terrace, where you can look out across the grounds from double doors leading into your living room and both bedrooms – making it easy to step outside for some fresh air each morning. Inside, the home has been renovated with style and attention to detail, making sure it's modern and comfy without losing any of its period charm. We particularly love the master bedroom's enuite with its stunning agate floor and wall tiles and its luxurious Japanese soaking tub. 

And that's not all. As well as the long balcony with its sweeping views, you'll have a private section of the garden, where a dining table and a barbecue mean you can make the most of sunny days. And what could be more of a treat than a long soak in your very own wood-fired hot tub? 

Located on the edge of beautiful Winchelsea, a mile from the beach, 2 miles from Historic Rye, and under 2 hours from London. It's just few minutes walk to the nearby pub, farm shop and to the quiet beach at Winchelsea, while the medieval town of Rye – packed with shops and restaurants – is just a seven-minute drive. For more things to do, head to the nature reserve and pebble beach at Rye Harbour, drive to the famous dunes of nearby Camber Sands or take part in one of Winchelsea's 'cellar tours' looking at the ancient undercrofts of the town's oldest buildings. There's even a neighbouring vineyard where you can tour, taste and maybe pick up a few bottles for your stay.

The Friar's Eyrie

Free Parking

There's getting back to nature and then there's staying in this stunning 18th-century barn conversion, set on 350 acres of nature reserve. The house's location sounds like the start of a poem: next to a wildflower meadow and on the edge of a stream – beautiful. With wetlands and woodlands all around, birdwatching is easy through the double-height windows in the living area or while sipping a drink on the patio. Make the most of the setting on one of the owner’s wildlife safari tours, or just admire the passing Konik ponies, and keep your eyes peeled for animals and insects. There's just as much to explore within the house. Oak beams run across the ceiling of every room, giving the space a cute, country feel. On cold days, there's a log-burner or roll-top bath for warming up. Dinner can be cooked in the kitchen, with a large wooden table for big feasts, or fire up the BBQ outside.

Skylark's Song

Nintendo Wii

This cottage, set within a secluded location on the edge of Wittersham, is a serene retreat for a family gathering. The modern country-style interiors are inviting, while the ground-floor layout makes it accessible to all. There’s plenty of space here, including room for your four-legged friend, to unwind in the garden or the cosy living room next to the fire. Ready to explore? Overlooking fields and woodland, you’ll find grassy tracks directly off your doorstep, though if you feel like a more challenging hike, head to Smallhythe Place or Brockhill Country Park.


The White Roses

Electricity Adaptors

Wood-clad and terracotta-roofed, this idyllic little cottage is surrounded by fields and forest as far as the eye can see. Take in the countryside on a walk around the farm (with its own vineyard), meandering down to the river that runs through the grounds – and say hello to the owner’s two friendly Newfoundlands, who always love to welcome new guests. For a day trip, it’s a short drive to the historical town of Rye, where you can wander cobbled streets and admire the medieval architecture before grabbing lunch at a local spot. In warmer months, go for a dip in the sea or bask in the sun at Camber Sands, a twenty-five minute drive away.

Inside the cottage, it’s pure enchantment with oak beams on display and a stunning Moroccan-style bed in the master bedroom. On chilly evenings, get the wood-burner crackling in the open-plan living area. A wall of glass doors fronts the living room, with beautiful countryside views. Open up to the patio where seating for the group sits under a charming wooden pergola and there’s a private slice of lawn for kids to run free. 

Vineyard Escape

Tennis Court

Stair Gates

This converted barn packs a real punch. You'll find it nestled among the rolling hills in the High Weald AONB, just a stone's throw from Rye, Iden, and the Kent coastline. We love the garden, where you can unwind with a tipple and admire the scenery. Feeling sporty? The shared tennis courts are ideal for a mid-afternoon game. Inside, the design is contemporary, cosy, and just the right amount of quirky. The purple banquette is perfect for breakfasts, while evenings are best spent curled up with a book in one of the squishy armchairs. You’ll feel right at home here.

Weald Whimsy

Safety Gates

This charming cottage lies in the village of Staplecross, a wonderful mix of the modern and traditional. With a maximum occupancy of four adults, one child and one pet, this home is ideal for a lovely family stay. Underfloor heating, a brick fireplace and large windows let light in and make this cottage extra cosy. You'll want a car to explore the nearby towns and landmarks, including Rye, Battle, and Bodiam Castle. You'll find plenty of independent shops, great eateries and local vineyards, ripe for days out.

Cottage of Wheelwrights

With beautiful country views and a peaceful setting on the owners’ sheep farm, this perfectly petite home is the ideal base for exploring the Kentish Weald. You’re a ten-minute drive from the well-heeled town of Tenterden with its independent boutiques and tearooms as well as many National Trust properties. The beautiful gardens at Great Dixter, just 11 mins away, or the famous Pashley Manor make for a fabulous day out or head just up the road to the pretty weather-boarded village of Rolvenden for the weekly farmers’ market or a pub lunch. The cottage itself is a cute red-brick bolthole where sheep and donkeys graze in the fields out front. Admire the surrounding farmland from the rocking chair on the wooden deck, or watch the kids run free on the lawn. Inside, it’s a cheerful medley of white, teal and magenta and kitsch flowery curtains add a bit of character. Throw open the French doors to let the country air stream in, and perhaps curl up with one of the books from the mini-library to the sounds of sheep in the fields.  

Shepherd's Cottage

Immersed in a 13-acre equestrian smallholding with horses, ducks and free-range chickens wandering the farmhouse garden, this cosy conversion is a picture of rural serenity. Whether you're curled up with a hot chocolate and a good book in hand by the wood-burning stove or are perched on a bench in the garden, you'll feel a world away from the fuss and flutter back home. Inside, you'll find plenty of light wood, comfy mid-century furnishings and an impressively large kitchen area – complete with a charming dining area for evenings in. But the real draw of this welcoming barn conversion is the unspoiled outside space. We can think of nothing better than a balmy summer evening spent out here with friends and family, the French doors thrown open, instantly expanding the communal space. With plenty of good pubs, restaurants and woodland footpaths to follow, you're perfectly placed for a relaxing break in the Sussex countryside. Beyond the local taprooms and countless fields, discover the coastal town of Hastings, just a ten-minute drive away. 

A Good Apple

Swimming Pool

A beautifully restored thatched barn, this home will leave you in awe of its lofty beams that rise cathedral-like above you. On one side of the enormous and grand living area, floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, while on the other side, doors lead out onto the private patio ready to welcome you with outdoor seating, a barbecue and a water feature to make the aura of calm complete. Rainy days are a perfect excuse to tuck yourself away in the lofted reading nook with a warm drink and a good book, while hot summer afternoons call for dips in the owner's pool. In the evenings, cosy up by the wood-burning fireplace before retreating to the mezzanine bedrooms tucked under the eaves for a good night's sleep.

Beyond your sunny garden, explore the acres of private grounds and woodlands that surround you, embracing Sussex's many natural wonders. Great Dixter House & Gardens is a fifteen-minute walk, Rye is seventeen minutes by car if you fancy shopping and dining in a medieval town and Hastings is just twenty-five minutes away if you're in the mood for some seaside fun. Or, don your walking shoes and explore the miles of footpaths on your doorstep leading through the Sussex countryside and High Weald AONB.

Thatcher in the Rye

Over the Sussex hills and far away resides a unique retreat which offers a majestic stay perfect for those looking to escape the mundane. Built by a local craftsman from local materials, Hazel Hollow sits surrounded by stunning countryside and magnificent views for days. The inside of this unique hideaway is just as special as the outside, with a beamed ceiling throughout. Quirky features such as the starry night ceiling and circular doors and windows in the central living area pull the entire aesthetic together with infinite charm. Cosy up around the wood-burning stove on the patchwork sofa with a warm cup of tea in hand or relax outside in the private hot tub – you'll feel rest assured in knowing there's heated flooring back inside the house, for when its time to get out. Beyond the home, you'll find plenty of things to get stuck into, including a tour of the host's vineyard, walks along the river to Bodium Castle, kayaking, cycling or a trip to Camber Beach –  around an hour's drive away. 



Hazel Hollow

This clifftop cottage in the Hastings Country Park lived a former life as one of the original coastguard terraced cottages. Tucked away at the foot of a country lane, this cottage sits cosy on the coastline. Its views go on for miles, with sighs of Dover, Beachy Head and even France from the top floor (with good weather!). Staying here is about nights around one of the two fireplaces, and relaxing with a book and glass of wine in the conservatory or in the bath. Exploration is on your doorstep in the surroundings of the Hastings Country Park, where ponies frolic and the wilderness goes on for miles. Further afield, central Hastings is a fifteen-minute drive for those nights when you just need to hang your apron and go out for dinner. 

I See France

Surrounded by ancient woodlands, historic iron workings and picturesque meadows, The Writer's Cottage offers a charming escape to the rolling hills of High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in East Sussex. Hastings and Rye are both nearby, and easy to reach if you’re after a day trip. The cottage itself on a working farm, which has plenty to see, from the chickens to the orchards, and even the occasional pig. The garden is a lovely place to spend afternoons, and there’s a hot tub available, as well as a hammock slung between the trees. Then, as the night draws in, it’s hard to look past the wood-burning stove, which makes for a spectacularly cosy setting.

A delightfully quaint bolthole set in the beautiful Kent countryside, this home's modern black facade is complemented by a rustic and quirky interior. Glass-fronted and beaming with sunlight all year round, the bright living space is warm and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The fully-equipped kitchen has soft wooden tables and open shelves, creating a homely and relaxing space to gather over a homecooked meal. It opens onto the trendy and whimsical lounge, with its yellow armchair and eclectic decorations. We loved the garden most of all – slide open the glass doors and step outside into the fresh air. Outside, you'll find an alfresco dining area – the perfect spot to tuck into the cake host Georgina leaves for you – and a cosy lounge area surrounding an open-air fire pit, which is ideal for enjoying a moment of calm while watching the sunset. You may even spot the resident kingfisher as it flies from the pond. When you're ready for sleep, drift off in the plush beds in the country-style bedrooms, then wake up feeling well-rested and ready to explore Kent. You're perfectly located for adventures – make the twenty-minute drive to the coastal Dungeness National Nature Reserve or reward yourself after a stroll with a pint in one of the delicious pubs nearby.

The Kingfisher

This beautiful beachfront home is located in the popular seaside resort town of St Leonards in East Sussex. It’s close to sites of historical importance like Bodiam Castle and the ruins of Battle Abbey, but you may find yourselves entirely content to stay put – the beach is directly in front of the house, after all. When you’re not paddling or eating fish and chips on the beach, you’ll have a private hot tub to relax in on the terrace. This former boutique hotel is perfect for large groups, with eight en-suite bedrooms and plenty of space for gathering together.

A breezy stroll from the town of Rye and a ten-minute drive from Camber Sands, this 70s-inspired home has been featured in magazines and on the BBC. The bedrooms are on the first floor, each boasting retro-style murals and vintage furniture. With a private gate leading to the River Rother, this home is well-placed for walks along the water. The garden has more than enough space for alfresco dining, as well as a dedicated lounge area for evening drinks and socialising. While there's plenty of parking, you'll find vineyards, restaurants, shops, and public transport are all within walking distance. Plus, Brighton and London are only a train ride away.

Retro on the River

Overlooking the river, this Camber cottage is ideally placed for a relaxing coastal retreat. It’s a short stroll down the lane to Broomhill Sands beach and just a little further along the coast to Rye – which has a wider selection of amenities. Back at home, the garden has everything you could need to make the most of the great outdoors – including a fire pit and a barbecue. The main cottage has two cosy bedrooms, while the third bedroom is located in a cute boathouse in the garden – making this a great option for those seeking a little extra privacy.

Starry River

Tucked away in the historic heart of Rye, this stylish apartment makes a sleek base for coastal escapes. Perched on the second floor, it’s a light-filled retreat with a warm, welcoming vibe. The open-plan living space invites slow mornings and evenings with a glass of wine, while the compact kitchen is well-equipped. After a day spent wandering cobbled lanes or exploring nearby Camber Sands, return for a hot soak. With pubs, galleries, and restaurants just steps away, this spot puts you within easy reach of Rye’s charm and the coast beyond.

Seaglass Loft

Rooftop Terrace

Two individual apartments in the guest wing of this stunning period building, these elegant homes can be rented together by larger groups or two families looking to escape to the Sussex coast together. In a spectacular setting, they're part of a Grade II Listed mansion that dates from 1819 and face the ivy-clad ruins of a 13th Century abbey. Definitely a place for lovers of historical architecture, it also happens to be within half an hour's walk of Winchelsea's quiet beach and the beautiful nature reserve of Rye Harbour. 

With one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor, each apartment has two bedrooms, along with cosy living rooms, modern kitchens and dining spaces. Fully updated but retaining charming period details like the fireplaces, ornate cornice and stone mullion windows, they're both beautifully put together with great attention to detail. We love the upstairs apartment's long balcony, where double doors open it up to the living room and both bedrooms, and we're big fans of the super stylish bathrooms.

There's a real surprise outside, with private, fenced gardens for both homes, outdoor furniture and barbecues. And best of all each comes with its own log-fired hot tub – perfect for a long soak after a day playing on the beach.

Nearby you can walk the ancient streets of Rye, packed with shops and great places to eat, play golf or walk your dog on the beaches. Even the famous dunes of Camber Sands are within easy reach. Or stay closer to home, tour the neighbouring vineyard, walk to the local farm shop and book yourselves on a 'cellar tour' of this town's medieval undercrofts. 


The Two Friars

Spread over three buildings, this converted farm dates back to the 17th century and maintains plenty of historic charm. Designed specifically with families in mind, you can have a multi-generational shindig here – two guests have the dairy to themselves (with its ground floor bedroom, it's perfect for older couples), while the farmhouse, spread over three floors, can house up to twelve (with ten adults), and the granary up to ten (with six adults) – the latter two buildings have living areas, as well. You won't need to be apart for long, though – you'll all likely be meeting for mealtimes at the long dining table, while the pool and large garden can fill most of the times in between.

Standen Farm Lower

A classy barn conversion on the wild and magical Romney Marsh, this little place is anything but plain. Step inside the cosy living area, where vaulted ceilings lined with oak beams provide plenty of character. On chilly evenings, throw a log on the wood burner and snuggle up with a film, or in the summer, rustle up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen and tuck into your fare on the patio. There's no better spot to unwind than the private hot tub, perfect for stargazing on summer nights or soaking up the views across the owner's vineyards and the marsh. And between the underfloor heating, sleek rain shower, bespoke beds and eco-friendly solar panels, there are a few luxury touches, too. Location-wise, this is an excellent spot for ramblers. A short walk along the Saxon Shore Way will take you to a charming 14th-century pub or you can just keep going for miles in this famously flat landscape. But if you fancy a change of scenery, spend the day on the coast – Camber Sands is only twenty minutes away by car. 

Marsh Marigold

If you like a bit of history with your holiday, look no further than this converted stable in the rolling hills of the Kent countryside. Step inside and you'll find hints of the building's past life in every room, coupled with some modern details like underfloor heating, a lavish soaker tub and fluffy bathrobes. We're particularly fond of the exposed ceiling beams, handcrafted kitchen worktop and the repurposed ladder-turned-clothes rail upstairs, which only add to the country charm. The living room is just as quaint, with comfy armchairs gathered around a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine, snuggle up with a book or enjoy a family movie night. 

Outside, the views are as idyllic as they come. There's no better spot to enjoy afternoon tea (and the scenery) than on the terrace, complete with handmade furniture fit for alfresco dining. The High Weald is yours for the taking, so don your comfiest boots and set off exploring – or just wander down to the local pub, a twenty-minute stroll away. But when you fancy a change of scenery, Rye and Hastings are half an hour by car and make excellent options for day trips.

Konik’s Rest

Surrounded by beautiful countryside – this cottage is nestled within the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy in the area, including walking, hiking, and cycling. You can also visit the nearby towns of Rye and Hastings. We love the views over the countryside from this four-level home and the garden is the perfect spot to soak up the Sussex sun. There’s a wood-burning stove for when the weather turns chilly, too. This is a perfect base for a family holiday.

East Sussex Escape

Record Player

It's no wonder this glass-fronted eco-lodge squirrelled away in leafy protected woodlands has graced every high-end interior glossy going – and a few home design TV shows to boot. The ultimate year-round hideaway, here you'll swoon over the minimalist Scandi interiors, complete with a floating wood burner for winter nights and a pebble bath overlooking the forest for long soaks. Your host can arrange personalised woodland yoga sessions and food hampers for a little extra luxury. Fancy a little bustle? The vibrant villages and seaside towns of East Sussex are a short drive away. Although with wood stacked by the fire at home, why you'd ever want to leave this place is anyone's guess.

Woodland Reflections

XBox

A perfect vacation spot for families—this home has an activity for everyone. Kids will love the in house game room with table tennis, foosball, and an Xbox for some friendly competition. 

When it’s time for a family outing, the options are numerous. Head on over to Saxon Shore Way to rent bicycles or simply take the walking path and admire views of the sea. For history buffs, the nearby ruins and medieval towns are a treat to learn about and explore firsthand. Not to mention, Tenterden (a fourteen-minute drive away) with its tempting shopping High Street and steam train that will take you to the ruins of Bodiam Castle. On warmer days, go for a swim at Camber Sands – an eighteen-minute drive away or try out surfing for an adventure! 

Wind down from your exciting days with a soak in the hot tub or by cosying up with a book in the living room. After everyone has had some well-deserved recuperation time, come back together for a family dinner on the patio as you overlook the lush countryside.



Barn To Be Wild

Make yourself at home at this rustic pair of linked barns which have been designed with nature and sustainability in mind. Set amongst green fields that offer sweeping countryside views, the home offers the ideal setting for a memorable group getaway in Kent. The main barn is perfect for gathering around in the large living and dining area for some downtime whether it be cosying up by the fire for a movie night or breaking out a board game for some friendly competition. For even more fun, there’s also a communal games room with table tennis and table football as well as two hot tubs so there won’t be any need to take turns. Each barn has its own kitchen and living area so it’s easy to spread out if you wish, and a barbecue and large outdoor seating area provide the perfect spot to soak up the scenery over a meal together. If you’re looking for a day trip, the beach at Camber Sands is a twenty-minute drive away where you can veg out in the sun or brave the waters for a swim, and walkers and cyclists will love the nearby Saxon Shore Way that traces the coast and offers stunning views over the cliffs.

Parking On Street

From its enviable spot in St Leonards-on-Sea, this former hotel has been transformed into a contemporary coastal retreat. Featuring a private roof top terrace and a large deck area with a hot tub, this is the perfect setting to slow down and savour quality time together. Inside, the rooms are set across three floors and offer plenty of space to socialise and switch off. It’s also just a five-minute walk to the beach, while local restaurants, cafes and pubs are less than ten-minutes away.
