Sugarloaf Cottage takes its name from the woods in which it stands looking out over the most incredible views towards the Ashdown Forest. Astonishingly quiet and secluded - just the birdsong to break the silence - yet close to neighbouring farm house, barn and Oast, the location is simply breathtaking. The nearby village of Brightling is famous for its collection of fascinating follies, built by the eccentric Victorian squire, John 'Mad Jack' Fuller. They include the Needle, the Observatory, and the Sugarloaf - rumoured to be the result of a bet that Fuller lost! They are all  on your doorstep.

My wife and I grew up in East Sussex but have lived away for many years. Our favourite area is the Weald with its history its people and the villages. However the location of the cottage threw another light on the views of Brightling forest we had not experienced before. A stunning venue with a natural peace and tranquility and an ideal touring ceRead morentre for a beautiful county. Hide

Everything was as it should have been. One point for owner. The base of the wash basin unit requires anti-fungal spray to remove black deposits.
