Property code: OC-TW667

This pretty semi-detached weather boarded cottage is situated in a fabulous location right on the edge of Bewl Water.  It has stunning views from the ground floor raised terrace and also from its first floor roof terrace.  Bewl Cottage has been beautifully renovated and offers stylish and comfortable modern family living with a spacious sitting room and a kitchen/dining room with fabulous far reaching views across the water.  There are bi-folding doors from the dining area onto the terrace which is perfect for watching the wildlife and letting the relaxing effect of the water lap over you.  The cottage is generously proportioned with 3 bedrooms and 2 shower rooms and the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and roof terrace. There is access straight from the garden onto the reservoir for walking and there is a 13 mile cycle trail around Bewl through woodlands and meadows with a stop off at the nearby pub, The Bull, at Three Leg Cross for a welcome drink.  Nearby is the pretty town of Ticehurst offering local independent craft and vintage stores, cafes and a local foodie pub.  Royal Tunbridge Wells is a short drive away and offers more extensive dining and shopping opportunities. This area of Sussex borders closely with Kent and has an abundance of National Trusts properties such as Bodiam and Scotney Castles and the beautiful gardens at Sissinghurst and Pashley Manor. There are golf course at Dale Hill and Lamberhurst and Bedgebury Pinetum is a wonderful place to wander through the ancient pine trees and there is also a Go Ape site for the more adventurous.

I have rented apartments, cottages, and hotel rooms for the last 30 years, and I have never been more pleased and surprised by the excellent cottage and the little touches that the owners have left. It was easy to enter the property and then the delights started. We had a decorated Christmas tree (as it was Christmas obviously), a lovely basket witRead moreh food, a full basket of wood and fire lighters. There are blankets for sunsets, and little hand drawn labels around the place with little touches and a lovely geust book from past happy customers. The actual experience, rooms, and location, especially the outstanding view was amazing. I bumped into the neighbours and they were lovely and shared some history of the place. We had a fantastic 2 weeks, and i would highly recommend for anyone who wants a homely, luxurious, well positioned cottage holiday in a great location with perfect landlords. 110% Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - thank you for taking the time to review Bewl Cottage, I never want to leave when I visit, and what a nice touch for the owners to leave you those extra goodies as a present for Christmas Hide
