Yet the bustling spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is less than 5 miles away. The area is closely tied with the Neville family who arrived in England with William the Conqueror and settled at Eridge Park. One of their guests, Dudley Lord North, discovered the iron rich Chalybeate Spring and Tunbridge Wells was born. You too can meet the ’Dipper’, taste the waters and promenade along The Pantiles. Alternatively hone your culinary skills at the Rosemary Shrager Cookery School.

Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised to see that the accommodation was actually larger than we expected.The building is in the grounds of the owners property and looks out onto a lovely garden.At the time of our visit the oast house was also clad in wisteria and looked lovely.Inside was perfect for a couple, with a nice lounge and kitchen downstairs and also a second lounge on the first floor, with the bedroom actually in the “cone” of the oast house.The property was extremely well equipped with many extras that you wouldn’t find in other property lets. We also found that, during this incredible heatwave, the downstairs remained refreshingly cool! ( good fans provided upstairs).Overall,we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend this lovely property!

A beautiful, peaceful retreat. It is a property we could recommend and an area well worth visiting; although East Sussex County Council should consider directing more funds to repairing the inumerable, often quite large and deep pot holes!
