Description

Approached down a secluded country lane through beautiful woodland with wild anemones and bluebells - this imposing tower, adjoining the owners' farmhouse - originally the Shooting Lodge for the Ashburnham Estate, is in the most wonderful location. The views from the top of the tower are incredible - not only over the fields and woodlands but to Hastings and beyond.  Walk to nearby Eatenden Wood and observe some unique birds in the hedgerows. For medieval history just a short drive to nearby Battle will take you right into the heart of 1066 country. Experience a real taste of country life in the sympathetically renovated splendour of this unique property. Shop: 1.5 miles  Pub: 1.5 miles Coast: 9 miles

Reviews

We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend although there was storm Darragh so we did not go for serious walks. Everybody was very happy about how good the beds were. I can not think of anything that is missing.

Mrs H,

We had a very happy large family celebration in this unique and well equipped and comfortable house, super beds, lots of hot water, well equipped, lovely location and garden and very understanding and helpful hosts.

Mr H,

Great quirky house for an extended family get together. Lots to do in the area. Lovely countryside to explore.

Ms D,

Our stay was great, we filled the rooms with 7 of us staying. The Shooting Tower is unique, its very different in a positive way and has a totally wonderful charm about the place. Tasteful art pieces, considered and thoughtful interior décor and dressings have all helped to enhance the age and the feel of the property. Good location, easy access to larger towns and places to visit with a good local pub The White Hart a short walk away. Very happy bunch of visitors.

Mr S,

The living room is an amazing, castle-like room, very beautiful and light with windows on three sides. The beds are very comfortable.

Mrs De G,

Great place for us to enjoy catching up with friends and use the great social place inside and outside and even have a bbq because the weather was so good. Hosts were excellent and have given the place its own ‘personality’ which we liked too.

Mr Simon M,
