Charming refurbished cottage, Ashdown Forest, excellent pub

White Rose Cottage is a charming self-contained cottage, adjacent to the owners' home and set in peaceful grounds of more than 9 acres, including garden, fields, paddock and a lake.

Beautifully presented throughout, White Rose Cottage is ideally located to explore Ashdown Forest and the South Downs, National Trust houses and stunning gardens, preserved railways, the historic towns of Lewes, East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells as well as the south coast.

The accommodation is set over three levels, offering a spacious double bedroom upstairs with Sanderson bedding. There is ample space in the bedroom for a cot, which can be provided on request. On the ground floor, additional guests can be accommodated in the sitting room which is provided with a 43" internet enabled (4K) flat screen TV, DVD player and comfortable seating, including a sofa bed with deluxe mattress (small double). Also on the ground floor is a modern bathroom offering a full size bath, with shower over, glass bath screen, WC and a washbasin. The heated towel rail will keep your fluffy Egyptian cotton towels warm and dry.

Stairs lead from the ground floor up to a further room with dining table and four chairs, two armchairs and a 32" flat screen internet TV, in case sleeping guests are occupying the main sitting room. Next to the dining room/second seating area is a modern well equipped fitted kitchen with electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer box, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle and a wide range of cooking utensils, crockery and glassware. Guests are welcome to eat in the garden, immediately outside the cottage's back door and to make use of the cottage's BBQ. If dining out holds more appeal, the cottage is a few minutes' walk from an award winning pub offering excellent food prepared from locally sourced ingredients; and just a short drive from several other local pubs and restaurants.

Access is provided to a utility room (5m outside the cottage) with washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, ironing board and drying racks. There is ample space to park directly outside the cottage. WiFi is available throughout the cottage and is free of charge. Oil central heating. All linen included. No smoking or pets. Bike storage available.

Beautiful Danehill
We spend a wonderful week in the well appointed White Rose Cottage. Our hosts Paul and Caroline were lovely and the cottage was well equipped for self catering. We enjoyed the most lovely views of the grounds and it’s a fabulous location for touring around Sussex and neighbouring counties. The local pub is a short walk away and is popular so it’s best to book a table. We would definitely return to this property if the opportunity arose in the future.

Lovely area to be in and nice owners. Property small but certainly has all you need. The garden is large and great that the owners let you go anywhere in the garden. The seat at the top of the lawn was a bonus in the evenings. Really enjoyed our stay,

Wonderful stay, beautiful home, perfect surroundings
We had a fantastic time in the house - it's equipped for everything you need, and more - the hosts have really thought about every tiny detail. They made us feel very welcome - with lots of extra thoughtful touches, like fresh fruit and vegetables, and a welcome food basket. They even found toys and books for our toddler to play with during our stay. The house is set in stunning grounds - which we were free to roam - including a boating pond and fields with sheep. Couldn't recommend high enough.

Gem of a property in perfect location
Spotlessly clean and very well equipped this charming cottage is set in a beautiful and tranquil location with good access to many places of interest. Our hosts were attentive but not intrusive and the welcome basket with local and home produce was a lovely touch. There were comprehensive instructions provided about the property, local facilities and places of interest, including the local vineyard. The property is comfortably set out and the Kitchen is well furnished for those who enjoy cooking. We found plenty to do during our stay and would happily return for another visit. There are lovely local walks, a nearby pub with good food and many quintessential English villages to explore as well as beautiful National Trust homes and gardens. We have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone - a delightful getaway.

Lovely country getaway
We had such a wonderful time at White Rose Cottage. It was our first time away since the 1st lockdown started. The cottage was a lovely country getaway conveniently situated near all the places we wanted to visit and also with lovely gardens to walk in and great amenities. Paul and Caroline were great hosts. We totally recommend it as a place to stay.

Perfect stay in an area of outstanding natural beauty
Hosted by the owners ,who remained on hand yet respecting our privacy, we were impressed by the layout of the accommodation and access to the garden where we spent many a happy hour experiencing the calm and birdsong of this unspoilt area of Sussex. The attention to details such as providing home made jam and fresh local eggs was a nice touch. The excellent pub 5 minutes walk up the road was the cherry on the cake. Great location for walks and well placed for visits to the south coast, local national trust properties and walks in the local area.

Sussex cottage in idyllic setting
We had a lovely holiday in White Rose Cottage, Danehill. It was really well equipped and comfortable. The gardens and surrounding area are beautiful. There are many tourist attractions to explore. My husband and I stayed in the cottage and our son and his girlfriend who live in Brighton were able to visit. Caroline and Paul were very welcoming and provided some gorgeous food items as a welcome gift. We look forward to returning.

A lovely cottage in a quiet relaxing location owned by lovely people
Caroline and Paul truly go that extra mile to ensure that you have a super stay. From the welcome pack containing fresh items from their own land, to fresh flowers in the rooms. The cottage is beautifully presented and very comfortable. We loved sitting in the garden in the evenings watching the wildlife and farm animals. One evening whilst chatting to Paul, a deer walked along the garden fence. The cottage and main house sit in 9 acres of land that contain gardens, an orchard, a lake and fields. We loved sitting by the lake watching dragonflys hunting. There is a lovely pub, The Coach & Horses within an easy walk from the cottage that provide good traditional fare. If you are looking for a quiet comfortable and relaxing getaway you wont find a better.

Quiet and Relaxing
We stayed for one week and had a fantastic quiet and relaxing holiday in this very spacious cottage,ideal for south coast and downs exploration. We enjoyed all the extra things that were provided (fresh bread, apple juice, jam, eggs, garden veg, and a large bowl of fruit) which was a very nice thought. The use of the ample garden was lovely and we enjoyed breakfast listening to the birds and sheep which made it very special. A short walk up the hill is a very nice pub for a relaxing meal after a days walking. Caroline and Paul thankyou for a very restful holiday.

Exceptional Cottage in impressive surroundings
The property is super super clean, fully equipped and extremely peaceful. Caroline and her husband very warmly welcomed us with food, very good jam and extremely tasty home grown vegetables from their own gardens. The property and extensive gardens are exceptionally beautiful ( I do not think that the English countryside can be any better than this heaven on earth). We fully recommend this property.

Lovely Place in the Countryside with a marvelous garden
White Rose Cottage is a very nice place for a holiday in the countryside with plenty things to see nearby. We enjoyed 9 days the very well equipped house. The garden is big and very nice. Our son (6) enjoyed the football-place and we even observed deers nearby the house. It is a quite place but many top sightseeing spots of Sussex are nearby, we visited Sheffield Garden and Park twice. There are plenty opportunities for hiking. The welcome and the service was very friendly, and we enjoyed tomatoes, potatoes, jam, eggs and apple juice direct from the farm. With a very good Pub some hundred meters away it was not even necessary to cook every evening, however the kitchen of white rose cottage has everything you need. Thanks to Caroline and her family for very enjoyable holidays.

A car, or friends/family to do the runs, as we did, is essential. Unless you are good walkers.
We were three adults and found the accommodation excellent. Everything we needed to know was efficiently documented. Also very well equipped. Housekeeping definitely 5*+, and added to this the wonderful touches of local produce in our welcome pack we're very much appreciated. The use of the outside space was a bonus.
