The Lavendrye

The Lavendrye is a quiet, secluded, private space for up to 2 adults and 2 children, in the beautiful Wealden countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Do you need an escape, or a pied a terre for visiting family or friends; a base from which to explore E Sussex, Kent; to visit the opera at Bayham or Glyndebourne, the gardens at Great Dixter, Sissinghurst or any National Trust properties nearby? The space The Lavendrye is a converted laundry house attached to the old Miller's house at Bartley Mill. It is a one bedroomed, self-contained annexe with its own parking and patio area, and access to shared gardens overlooking the mill pond and farmland beyond. Please note we do not offer WFH facilities although occasional work emails/browsing should be fine. This is a residential property, not a work-space. Guest access The property has its own 2 dedicated parking spaces in the front. You have sole exclusive access to the property - one bedroom, living area with sofa bed, wet-room and kitchen, plus a private patio area at the rear. There is then a shared lawned area overlooking the lake behind, and nearby paths and walks for you to enjoy. Other things to note Mobile phone signal is patchy, depending on your provider. Wifi provided can support mobile wifi use if you have this function downloaded. Working from home: although we offer Wi-Fi and fibre broadband, this is a residential address so facilities for “working from home” are not guaranteed. Our Wi-Fi is supplied by a third-party and we do not always have 100% control over its functioning. If you need guaranteed Wi-Fi access and have lots of Zoom calls and meetings during your stay, you should ensure that you make arrangements for alternative office rental during the day. The Lavendrye is designed to be a holiday accommodation, not an office. Please note the kitchen is small and not designed for cooking large or complicated meals. The Panasonic combination microwave oven is a regular size, but the electric induction hob is for two pans only. There is a kettle, toaster and Nespresso Citiz coffee machine to help with drinks and meals, and a dishwasher and washing machine/tumble dryer plus clothes drying rack overhead. There are also great local pubs and restaurants which we can recommend nearby, and local food and farm shops too. We can arrange to take food deliveries in advance of your visit if you arrange this well in advance. Perfect for up to 2 adults in a comfortable double bedroom, with the option to accommodate up to 2 children on the sofa bed. If you’d like to use the sofa bed—whether for little ones or simply for extra space—just let us know in advance, as there is an additional charge. Please note that you must state the total number of guests at the time of booking. If more than two people are staying, we will automatically charge for the use of the sofa bed and provide an extra set of clean linen, unless the third guest is a child under 2 and you are bringing your own cot. Kindly use only the linen provided for the sofa bed, as using other bedding may lead to additional cleaning charges. Any bookings which have to be cancelled as a result of either UK Government restrictions or guest illness will be rescheduled for free. If you wish to have a full refund, then please make sure that you have adequate travel insurance and your own travel insurance covers this.
