About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A peaceful ground floor apartment within our refurbished Sussex barn.

With two double bedrooms, lounge, galleried dining area, bathroom and laundry room, the self contained suite of rooms is situated on the ground floor of our beautiful Sussex barn. Guests can sit by the lake, or use the garden, with its patio area and barbecue, while enjoying wonderful far reaching views across the countryside.

Heartwood Barn sits on the edge of the popular village of Ticehurst, with its award winning pub and restaurant, The Bell. Set as we are within an Area of Outstanding Beauty, there are many beautiful walks to be enjoyed. Bewl Water is a few minutes’ away on foot, or a short car journey takes you to Bedgebury Pinetum, Scotney Castle, Bodium Castle and the wonderful gardens at Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. But with a complete change of mood, the bustling town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is only twenty minutes by car and London can be accessed easily from the mainline station in the neighbouring village of Wadhurst.

The south coast is a pleasant drive away, through the leafy lanes. The ancient Cinque Port town of Rye is a ‘must see’, while we are especially lucky to have so many great fish and other restaurants to sample at the resorts along the coast... towns such as Brighton, Hastings, Lewes, Eastbourne and Bexhill. Heartwood will provide you with a peaceful, comfortable, country retreat to return to after a busy day’s local sight seeing.

We provide quality bed linen and towels, a housekeeping service, plus a ‘welcome’ basket of local produce to introduce you to the area. We love where we live and we hope you will, too!
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Lovely apartment and hosts

A great location to explore Kent and East Sussex gardens and historic sites. We had a bit of a snafu with the booking reaervation - the host wasnt expecting us! But, they quickly prepped for our arrival and made us feel very welcome!! Highly recommend staying here and enjoying the countryside.

Short break in East Sussex

Really enjoyed our stay in Ticehurst. The accommodation was lovely - the photos didn’t do it justice! Ann was very helpful and provided a great welcome pack for us. Lovely to have access to the garden to eat outside too. Please note that check in is from 3, not 4, as it said in our VRBO confirmation. Unfortunate as we’d hung around from 3. This wasn’t Ann’s fault though.

Our best VRBO yet

Not only is this a beautiful property, but the proprietors went above and beyond the call to help us when emails went missing. Everything one might want for breakfast was provided, as well as instructions for the house appliances and recommendations offered in a neat notebook. We hope to visit again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and cosy get away break

What a beautiful and cosy apartment! Fantastic attention to detail, hand crafted heart shaped door handles, chocolates on the pillows, home made bread and cupcakes we could go on and on. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality Ann & Ian. Hand wash, washing up liquid, shower gel all supplied along with soft towels and the most comfortable bed and bed linen. We were very comfortable. There really is so much to do around the area and so many great places to eat (loved The Bell, 10 mins walk away and The Vineyard a 10 mins drive) The apartment is across the courtyard just inside the main barn/house. We were made to feel so welcome and cannot wait to return. Thank you again for letting us stay in your amazing home.

Fantastic hosts, property and location,

Ann and Ian were incredibly welcoming and kind. The barn was beautiful and very comfortably furnished and the gardens were immaculate - credit to Ann. The homemade bread and other provisions left were delicious and most welcomed. We also had the added advantage of Ian’s passion for classic cars which kept my dad (84 years young) in his element, especially having a ride out one afternoon with Ian in one of the cars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and although we were visiting family, there is so much to do in the area. We hope to visit again soon and would highly recommend a stay to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Lovely short break

I stayed in the apartment for a couple of nights with a friend for a short walking break. The apartment is gorgeous. Definitely 5*. Ann was a fabulous host and her homemade bread left for us on arrival was amazing as well as the sausages, egg and cake! We were lucky to get in before lockdown 2 and hope we can return in the future.

A restful stay in a beautifully tranquil location

A friend and I stayed for 2 nights at Heartwood Barn and we didn’t want to leave! The apartment is beautiful, stylish, very well equipped and so cosy and comfortable. It is obvious that a lot of love and thought has gone in to it - from the welcome ‘hamper’ of food to the super soft towels, lovely toiletries, comfortable sofa and beds, well equipped kitchen and also the useful local information pack. The apartment is located within a courtyard setting with delightful garden adjacent to it. It was very peaceful and we enjoyed opening our blinds in the morning and watching a family of pheasants in the garden. We loved visiting nearby Sissinghurst and Bewl Water, as well as having an excellent evening meal at the Bell in the village (a 10 minute walk). Thank you, we will be back!

Wonderful accommodation

Spent three nights in July there with my wife and our son joined us for two. Excellent two bedroom self contained ground floor flat within the main building, very clean and well equipped. Ann the host was very friendly and made us welcome with bread, milk ,eggs and bacon waiting inside. The grounds of the venue are lovely with plenty of space to feel like you could relax without intrusion. Couldn’t pick a better location with the Bell pub and its restaurant just 10 min walk up the road. A very good Indian takeaway opposite the Bell was a pleasant surprise. We visited Rye , Bodium castle , Battle Abbey and a beautiful forest park all are within a 10 to 40 min drive. Can’t praise the property enough definitely recommend it.

Highly recommend. Lovely local produce provided, comfortable beds and great shower, very clean.

Warm welcome by the owners of the property and pleasantly pleased with the accommodation. Two beautiful comfortable double beds, freshly laundered. Good quality tea, coffee and local produce in the fridge on arrival. Clean and tidy. You can tell that attention to detail had been taken into consideration and that the owners wished to make the stay of their guests as comfortable as possible. It was truly Home from Home! So much so we have booked again to come back in a few weeks. Smashing food at the local village pub which was only a five minute walk away! Highly recommend :)

Een mooi en comfortabel verblijf. Ook een mooie en ruime tuin ter beschikking. Vriendelijke gastvrouw. De ruimte om te eten is klein, en door de smalle trap niet zo vlot bereikbaar. Meer informatie over de regio : wandelingen, stafkaarten, fietsroutes zou handig zijn.
