Living area: (No TV)
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed Ensuite: Roll Top Bath With Shower Attachment, Toilet
Shower Room: Walk-In Shower, Toilet. Electric underfloor heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Enclosed garden with sitting-out area, barbecue and fire pit. 2 dogs welcome. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. No children.. The Challoners is nestled in the heart of the East Sussex Weald and redefines what to expect from a premium glamping holiday experience. As you enter through the gate, your two wood-clad cabins greet you unassumingly, but step inside and the lavish attention to detail can really be appreciated. The shepherd’s hut houses the bedroom which offers a sumptuous Hypnos double bed, while delicate finishing touches include ornate furnishings and an antique electric stove heater. Through double sliding doors is a gorgeous en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath. In a separate lodge, are your living quarters. Adorned with chic rustic style, this too is exclusively yours and features an open plan living space complete with large corner sofa and a selection of books, games, and puzzles. For ultimate comfort and convenience there is also a walk-in shower room. Both cabins feature underfloor heating throughout for cosy winter evenings in this wonderful self-catering retreat.
Throw open the French doors to enjoy views over the Wealden countryside and your private garden with curved stone loveseat, a covered picnic table, BBQ, and a fire pit where you can gaze at the stars. The garden is fully enclosed at this dog friendly accommodation, making it a perfect rural spot. The Challoners is a place to enjoy some peace and quiet, so the owners have deliberately left out a TV. You may come with good intentions to explore the area and find yourself not wanting to leave this haven all weekend! If you can pull yourself away there are 300 acres of foot and cycle paths to explore in the surrounding area, including access to the owners private 50 acres of woodland with one of the largest badger sets in Europe. A unique boutique countryside retreat for romantic short breaks and pure indulgent escapism.
The pretty village of Robertsbridge is just a mile away and offers a general store, dog friendly local pubs, and award-winning Indian restaurant. Bewl Water is 7 miles away and offers various water sports and the Bodiam Boating Station is 10 miles away which offers river cruises and boat hire for a more relaxed day out or kayaking for the more adventurous. You can also explore Bodiam Castle 3 miles away and a little further afield are Battle, the Cinque Ports town of Rye and the coastal town of Hastings. The area between Robertsbridge, Rye and Pevensey is called ‘1066 Country’ and boasts a host of tourist and leisure attractions, including Great Dixter and Smallhythe Place. For those wanting to venture back to the time of steam trains, visit the Kent and East Sussex Railway and take a trip from Bodiam to Tenterden in one of the lovely old carriages. Visit the moated castle at Bodiam built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, only a 10-minute drive.
Browns Farm Shop in the village have a good selection of fresh vegetables, bread, eggs, milk etc and can deliver if you order before 12pm the day before.

Probably the most relaxing accommodation set-up and location we've ever had the pleasure of staying in! 100% private, fully enclosed garden (perfect for our potential escapee dog), easy-to-light fire, ample outside seating areas in a very pretty garden provided the perfect two-day, get-away-from-it-all mini-holiday. Before our stay we were wondering how well the separate 'pods' would work, and I am happy to say that it's a genius idea because it means the bedroom/bath zone remains clean, tidy and romantic, while the kitchen/lounge area can be a bit more 'lived-in' with no guilt or looking at the washing up after dinner. Having taken pre-made salads and other bits from our local farm shop with us, we did absolutely nothing for two days - (apart from a quick pop to the shop up the road, a collecting a curry from the award-winning restaurant 5mins away) - which was just what we needed! Had we been staying longer we would have definitely got out and about to mooch around the local area and visit a few touristy spots. Jim, our host, was extremely welcoming and told us everything we needed to know before leaving us be for the entire 48hrs - there was also no stress to vacate too early on the Sunday which was much-appreciated.Next time!
