The Millers Cottage
Winnie-the-Pooh Country
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. High Hurstwood is located in the High Weald AONB, and is a truly beautiful area with extensive walks. The area is steeped with history, with nearby Hever Castle, home of Anne Boleyn, as well as Herstmonceux and Bodiam Castles. We are ideally located for Glyndebourne which is 17 miles away. The area is also rich with some beautiful places to eat, including our own pub, the Hatch Inn, which has been serving local residents since 1430AD.
