Once you’ve arrived at The Farrier, you feel completely removed from the bustle of everyday life. The setting, in the middle of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers a really quiet and serene environment to relax in, but driving there from London only takes around an hour. There are a few aspects of the home that show its age and use, but you’ve got to remember that it’s a working farmhouse (the estate looks after horses), and the host, Gabriella, will do everything possible to ensure you have a wonderful stay.

The ceiling slopes down in the loft conversion, and might be a problem if taller guests are staying there
