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 good quality 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 Netflix, 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 a few basics 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, microwave, fridge with 4* 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 and a heated towel rail with cotton towels.

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.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone.

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!

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.

Country life

We booked Woodpeckers as we wanted some downtime from our hectic schedule of travelling the Uk & Ireland. So the Country location was great as it enable us to do day trips around Sussex /Surrey and Kent. Angie is a very good host, around if you need her but not intrusive. The property is exactly as advertised and the water pressure in the shower is just the best. I definitely recommend Woodpeckers if you are after a quiet country location.
