房源位置

A perfect base for exploring the Sussex and Kent countryside and coastline in a deeply rural setting with easy access to London. Situated on the edge of the 6,500-acre Ashdown Forest and in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Rotherfield is home to two brilliant pubs, including The Kings Arms –  a Grade II-listed 17th-century coaching inn – with good food and a cosy atmosphere, complete with an open fire.
The spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is a 20-minute drive north along the A26, offering a wide range of restaurants, theatres, coffee shops and supermarkets. Of particular note are The Pantiles, a Georgian shopping promenade of independent cafes and restaurants. There is also an excellent range of pubs in the town, including the Sussex Arms and Ragged Trousers.
Nearby, Sissinghurst Castle Garden is a fantastic place to visit all year round, a well-renowned garden designed by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson in the early 1930s.
The nearest swimming beach, a favourite of ours, is Seaford, a 45-minute drive from the cottage. Mayfield is also close and has a striking medieval high street with more pubs, coffee shops and views.
The A26 provides access to the town of Lewes 17 miles south, with an historic castle and many independent shops. Lewes is in the South Downs National Park. The Downs provide wonderful walks to picturesque villages including Wilmington, Alfriston and Firle. Charleston Farmhouse - base for the Bloomsbury group of artists and intellectuals - is nearby, as are Middle Farm (local produce and farm petting zoo) and Drusillas (zoological park and adventure playground). Brighton, a 15 minute drive west from Lewes along the A27, is a vibrant city famous for its pier and shopping lanes. Glyndebourne Opera House sits between the villages of Ringmer and Glynde and is a 30 minute drive south-west from the cottage.
Crowborough railway station, a four-minute drive from the house, located at the bottom of Crowborough Hill, provides a direct link to London Bridge with a journey time of around one hour.

There is free on-road parking outside the cottage and throughout the village. You may not be able to park right outside every time, but will always find a place nearby. Public transport into and out of the village is limited. A car is strongly recommended given the rural location. If you don't have a car, the house is 4 minutes from Crowborough train station or 20 minutes from Tunbridge Wells train station by taxi. There is a useful shop and post office, a hairdresser, a playground and a pharmacy in the village, and plenty of lovely local walks.
