The Log Shed, Ashdown Forest

In the heart of Ashdown Forest down a woodland track is The Log Shed. Set apart from the main house it offers very comfortable accommodation spread over two floors. A rustic exterior greets you but inside is a recently renovated space which has been beautifully decorated. Surrounded by a lovely garden, forest and fields it is in a unique position where you can enjoy total peace and quiet. The space The Log Shed has a light, spacious, newly decorated bedroom upstairs with a Kingsize bed, white cotton bed linen and beautiful views across the fields behind the house. Downstairs there is an area where you can sit and have your morning tea looking out of a large window onto the garden. You can also have your own private patio for two! There are tea and coffee making facilities, a small fridge, a wood burner and a shower room with heated towel rail. On the desk upstairs you will find a yellow box with an OS map of the local area, walking maps and other local information (places to eat etc). BREAKFAST A variety of cereals/home-made granola, fresh fruit and yoghurt is left in the shed for guests to enjoy for breakfast. If you would like the breakfast tray left outside your door between 8 am and 9 am (which includes croissant/rolls/jams, fruit juice and a granola pot) then this is EXTRA. On arrival you will find milk in the fridge and a home-made goodie to welcome you. In the Winter months a small log basket of wood is included. Extra logs are available at £5.00 a basket. If you are checking in on a Friday night I am happy to be flexible over a later check-in time. Guest access The Log Shed is the perfect location for exploring Ashdown Forest which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and ‘home’ of Winnie -the -Pooh. There are numerous walks straight from the door. It is only 10 minutes from Forest Row the local town where you will find an eclectic selection of shops as well as a number of different places to eat. Just down the road is The Hatch Pub (a 5 minute drive or a very pleasant 25 minute walk across the forest) where you might enjoy an evening meal. Just up the road (a 2 minute drive ) is The Ashdown Park Hotel set in beautiful surroundings where you can enjoy a fine dinner or afternoon tea or a visit to the country club and spa. Hartfield, a charming old village is also nearby with Pooh Corner (a shop and tea rooms) and The Anchor pub, a traditional English pub. It is a great location for courses at The Oast Studio which runs creative workshops and sewing classes with the wonderful Annabelle and Alison near Hartfield. It is also close for Emerson College, festivals at Pippingford Park and events at Michael Hall School. All within a ten minute drive.
