We love the quirky character of the cottage and the excellent facilities available but our requirements have changed. The location is fantastic as one of the paddocks has direct access to the Forest Way bridlepath while Ashdown Forest and many of the adjacent footpaths and bridleways offer excellent opportunities for riding, walking and cycling. Forest Row includes hotels, bars, restaurants, a supermarket and convenience store as well as a medical and veterinary surgery, farmer's market and post office. There are good primary school and private schools nearby and secondary education in East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells.Room sizes:
