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.
