Little Ponds is the ideal holiday home in which to explore all that Sussex and Kent has to offer. Situated just outside the delightful town of Heathfield, the renowned cuckoo trail (which meanders through a 15-mile green corridor from Heathfield to Eastbourne) passes close to the cottage, ideal for both walkers and cyclists. The beautiful, tiered garden offers several different areas in which to relax, including outside seating for al fresco suppers, a swing seat, a hot tub and sauna in a secluded chalet, and a cosy summer house. The contemporary kitchen has everything you need to prepare supper using local Sussex produce and the airy living room offers a space to relax together while the younger members enjoy the games room with football table, mini billiard table and a cupboard full of board games. Upstairs there are three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, one ensuite to the master bedroom. All in all Little Ponds is the perfect venue for a family or group of friends looking for a fun, self catering holiday.
