Woodpeckers Cottage - One bedroom luxurious and Contemporary rural retreat

Woodpeckers is a contemporary boutique style detached cottage with a spacious, light, open plan living area, luxurious bathroom and a beautiful bedroom. You’ll find handmade British soft furnishings with decorations in Farrow and Ball colours and granite worktops to the well-fitted kitchen. The comfy sitting area has a Smart TV with free view, DVD player and WiFi. There is central heating throughout.

The accommodation is designed to an exceptionally high standard in a rural, tranquil setting. Fresh flowers and some welcome groceries await your arrival.

The entrance door leads from a porch into an open plan sitting/dining room featuring a contemporary wood burning stove made up with logs ready to light, ensuring you are cosy throughout your stay during cooler days!

The fully equipped, open plan kitchen leads off the dining area, it has a Neff electric oven, induction hob, Bosch microwave, fridge with ice box and dishwasher. The utility cupboard has a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board.

The bedroom features a luxurious king size bed with quality linen. This leads to a large en suite bathroom with walk in shower having two-shower head options, large double-ended bath and plenty of storage within the hand made vanity unit, a heated towel rail with Egyptian cotton towels and welcome toiletries.

Woodpeckers enjoys its own landscaped courtyard garden with outdoor furniture and gas BBQ (during the warmer weather).

There are country walks from the door onto a bridleway and the nearby Ashdown Forest (2,396 hectares). This cottage is in the gardens of an old coach house, which once formed part of a larger estate; therefore it has the benefit of a shared private tennis court and small fitness room. Guests are welcome to use these at their own risk. For further information please contact the owner direct.

Whilst we love dogs, we do not have pets to stay. Nor do we have smoking anywhere within the cottage.

There is a detached two bedroom cottage close by, ideal for family groups and friends wanting independent accommodation. See Deerkeepers Cottage.

Great Property
Woodpeckers is a wonderful property with all the amenities needed for a short or long term stay. If anything the photos don’t do it justice - it is a quaint property with a lot of character. Excellently located to explore the local area. We appreciated the welcome pack provided and also the personal welcome and farewell from the owner Angie. We would highly recommend the property.

Birthday break
Me and my wife had a lovely break at the Woodpeckers cottage. The stay was to celebrate my birthday and to visit friends that live in London. We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage, especially the log burner. Would certainly recommend anyone to stay here too.

Ideal accomodation for 2
We enjoyed our stay at woodpeckers. The cottage is well laid out with modern equipment in excellent condition. It was clean and well maintained with a comfortable bed. It is very quiet yet within 20 minutes by car of East Grinstead. In general we were impressed and would stay again

Wonderful base for a wedding weekend
We rented Woodpeckers along with the 2 bedroom property next door. Together they provided us with the perfect base for ourselves and our adult children to attend a family wedding . Woodpeckers was excellent as it provided luxury and privacy. The bedroom was a good size with a stunning bathroom. The living space and kitchen had everything that was needed - the welcome hamper and abundance of freshly picked flowers were greatly appreciated! Thank you to Angie, the owner, for being so welcoming and for providing such brilliant directions to ensure we didn’t miss the road turning!

Lovely Country Cottage
Perfect spot for exploring the nearby attractions. The cottage is clean and comfortable with the perfect amount of room for two people. Beautiful gardens in front and back of the cottage. A welcome basket was provided by Angie with breakfast staples to get us started plus a bottle of wine. We would love to stay here again if we are ever back in the area.
