About this cottage rental
Woodpeckers is a contemporary boutique style detached cottage with a spacious, light, open plan living area, luxurious bathroom and a beautiful bedroom. You’ll find handmade British soft furnishings with decorations in Farrow and Ball colours and granite worktops to the well-fitted kitchen. The comfy sitting area has a Smart TV with free view, DVD player and WiFi. There is central heating throughout.
The accommodation is designed to an exceptionally high standard in a rural, tranquil setting. Fresh flowers and some welcome groceries await your arrival.
The entrance door leads from a porch into an open plan sitting/dining room featuring a contemporary wood burning stove made up with logs ready to light, ensuring you are cosy throughout your stay during cooler days!
The fully equipped, open plan kitchen leads off the dining area, it has a Neff electric oven, induction hob, Bosch microwave, fridge with ice box and dishwasher. The utility cupboard has a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board.
The bedroom features a luxurious king size bed with quality linen. This leads to a large en suite bathroom with walk in shower having two-shower head options, large double-ended bath and plenty of storage within the hand made vanity unit, a heated towel rail with Egyptian cotton towels and welcome toiletries.
Woodpeckers enjoys its own landscaped courtyard garden with outdoor furniture and gas BBQ (during the warmer weather).
There are country walks from the door onto a bridleway and the nearby Ashdown Forest (2,396 hectares). This cottage is in the gardens of an old coach house, which once formed part of a larger estate; therefore it has the benefit of a shared private tennis court and small fitness room. Guests are welcome to use these at their own risk. For further information please contact the owner direct.
Whilst we love dogs, we do not have pets to stay. Nor do we have smoking anywhere within the cottage.
There is a detached two bedroom cottage close by, ideal for family groups and friends wanting independent accommodation. See Deerkeepers Cottage.

This is wonderful property for two people. It has everthing you would need and the location is perfect. It was so quiet but you are only a few minuutes from civilisation. Angie was the perfect host and when we had a problem with the tv she made sore the issue was rectified quickly.

We rented Woodpeckers along with the 2 bedroom property next door. Together they provided us with the perfect base for ourselves and our adult children to attend a family wedding . Woodpeckers was excellent as it provided luxury and privacy. The bedroom was a good size with a stunning bathroom. The living space and kitchen had everything that was needed - the welcome hamper and abundance of freshly picked flowers were greatly appreciated! Thank you to Angie, the owner, for being so welcoming and for providing such brilliant directions to ensure we didn’t miss the road turning!

Woodpeckers is a wonderful property with all the amenities needed for a short or long term stay. If anything the photos don’t do it justice - it is a quaint property with a lot of character. Excellently located to explore the local area. We appreciated the welcome pack provided and also the personal welcome and farewell from the owner Angie.
We would highly recommend the property.

We booked Woodpeckers as we wanted some downtime from our hectic schedule of travelling the Uk & Ireland. So the Country location was great as it enable us to do day trips around Sussex /Surrey and Kent. Angie is a very good host, around if you need her but not intrusive. The property is exactly as advertised and the water pressure in the shower is just the best. I definitely recommend Woodpeckers if you are after a quiet country location.

Absolutely beautiful cottage. This was our second stay and we will certainly be returning. The cottage has everything you need. Angie is a wonderful host and is there if you need her for anything but also leaves you alone to enjoy your stay. We love walking and the Ashdown Forest is on your doorstep as is the wonderful Plaw Hatch Farm Shop. If you are considering staying then make a booking as you will not be dissapointed!

Luxurious getaway for couples in wonderful surroundings
The cottage is beautifully furnished and equipped, and sits in its own private garden on a much larger and very impressive estate. It has the feeling of a really rural getaway, but there are numerous attractions within easy reach. The owner. Angie. was charming and helpful, and also provided an excellent welcoming basket of essentials. All in all, a highly enjoyable place to stay.

Perfect Winter Retreat
The cottage completely surpassed our expectations. Cleanliness and quality of furnishings and fittings could not be faulted while the heating system worked very efficiently. The host Angie went out of her way to provide information and kindly allowed an early check in and late check out as there were no adjacent bookings. Would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing out of town stay close to nature.

A superb property
Woodpeckers was the perfect place for three day stay in November. It’s beautifully presented, everything is of high quality. The bathroom has a huge bath and separate large shower. There is a super wood burning stove and the kitchen is very well equipped.. Lots of clear information about what to do and see in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Angie who is a delightful host. We would love to make another visit to Woodpeckers.

A perfect autumn retreat for us oldies!
We are both in our late 70's/80's and the cottage was perfect for us for a quiet stay, all on one level with it's own garden and easy access to the woods. It was spotlessly clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. The wood burning stove was a nice cosy feature for our autumn holiday.
I enjoyed seeing deer in the woods, the horses in the fields and, at night, the dark skies with all the stars. Several lovely gardens and other attractions nearby, and a very nice lunch in The Cat at West Hoathly combined to make this an ideal break for us.

Relaxing in beautiful surroundings
We have just returned from a lovely relaxing week at Woodpecker Cottage. The cottage is set within the grounds of the owners but has complete privacy and beautiful little gardens, front and back, which are perfect to sit for an afternoon G & T. It's decorated and furnished to a high standard making it very comfortable with a home from home feel, everything you could need has been thought of. Also the extra touches of fresh flowers and some groceries are very welcoming. The tennis court is a real bonus and some beautiful walks right on the doorstep. We highly recommend staying at Woodpecker Cottage.

A real home away from home, very warm and welcoming with fabulous gardens. The log fire was fantastic and we enjoyed late September curled up on the sofa in front of it.

Very relaxing
The property was very comfortable. Well designed and high quality fixtures and fittings used. Well equipped kitchen. We've never been anywhere with such a spotlessly clean oven before! Extremely comfortable bed. Having the use of the tennis court was a bonus. Would stay again without hesitation.
