ABOUT

ABOUT

An idyllic, and beautifully converted oak-framed former Granary cottage, set in the heart of East Sussex, bordering the famous Ashdown Forest, Henry VIII's favourite hunting forest. Ashdown Forest is world renowned as the setting for E.E.Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" , and you can play Pooh sticks at the original Pooh Bridge, only 5 miles away.
