About this property

Deerkeepers Cottage - luxurious and contemporary rural retreat

This charming detached, contemporary holiday cottage has an open plan living area, luxurious bathrooms and two beautiful bedrooms. You’ll find handmade British soft furnishings with decorations in Farrow and Ball colours, granite worktops to the well-fitted hand made kitchen. There are two modern bathrooms with vanity cupboards. The comfy sitting area has a Sony LED HD Smart TV with freeview, DVD player, WiFi and a wood-burning stove. There is underfloor heating throughout and heated towel rails.

The accommodation is designed to an exceptionally high standard in a rural, tranquil setting. Fresh flowers and a welcome basket of basic supplies greet you upon arrival together with a complimentary bottle of wine.

The entrance door leads from a porch into the fully equipped, open plan kitchen with a Neff electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer.

The open plan kitchen leads to the sitting/dining room featuring the pretty wood burning stove, that is made up with logs ready to light, ensuring you are cosy throughout your stay.

The master bedroom (ground floor) features a luxurious king size bed with Egyptian cotton linen, a snuggly designer throw, comfy pillows and duvet. This leads to a modern en suite bathroom with a large shower bath, vanity cupboard and w.c.

The second bedroom (first floor) has twin beds and is open plan to its private staircase and lobby with an en suite wet room (ground floor). The spacious walk in shower has two showerhead options. This is a fun space with privacy from the ground floor living area. Automatic black out blinds add to the finishing touches of this unique bedroom space.

Both bathrooms have heated towel rails, Egyptian cotton towels and welcome toiletries.

Deerkeepers’ enjoys its own landscaped garden with terraces, outdoor furniture and a gas BBQ (during the warmer weather).

There are country walks from the door onto a bridleway and the nearby Ashdown Forest (2,396 hectares). This cottage is in the gardens of an old coach house, which once formed part of a larger estate; therefore it has the benefit of a private tennis court and small home gym. Guests are welcome to use these at their own risk. For further information please contact the owner direct.

A car is recommended.

Whilst we love dogs, we do not have pets to stay. Nor do we have smoking anywhere within the cottage. The cottage is unsuitable for young children due to the steps, stairs and wood burner. Older children are welcome. For further information please contact the owner direct.

There is a detached one bedroom cottage close by, ideal for family groups and friends wanting independent accommodation. See Woodpeckers Cottage.

Lovely English Cottage
We were in England from the US visiting friends and celebrating a birthday at a home in a nearby community. This cottage, located on a farm about a 20 minute drive from Dormansland, provided us with a private space to visit and recharge. The amenities were perfect for four adults, and I can imagine in better weather, we would have taken advantage of the woodland walks and outdoor patio. Angie was a gracious and attentive host.

A Slice of Paradise
A hidden oasis of a beautiful English cottage, full of modern amenities was our experience during our 7 day stay. The pics on the site don’t do it justice. Inside is everything u need to enjoy ur visit; with hosts who go above and beyond to exceed guests expectations. The grounds / views which lead onto the Ashdown forest are brilliant. I highly recommend this Vrbo for the ultimate private getaway. We were blown away by the whole package . 5 STARS for this great Vrbo.

Rave Reviews Well Deserved
We had high expectations for Angie Ward's Deerkeepers Cottage based on her many five-star reviews. Yet she exceeded those expectations. Great layout and landscaping, attention to details such as unified paint scheme plus many artistic and personal touches. Well done, Angie

Fabulous
Deerkeepers Cottage is a gem. It is hidden away in the woods, is very quiet and really very charming. The interior decoration is to a high standard , the beds are comfortable, the kitchen well equipped. It has a lovely atmosphere and we spent five very happy days here before my daughters wedding.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Ward

Host profile image
I was raised on a farm so just love the countryside. Here we are very lucky living on the fringe of the beautiful 6000 acre Ashdown forest with wonderful walks and horse riding.

Why they chose this property

The area is unbelievably unspoilt given its close location to London.

What makes this property unique

The location is so peaceful and on a clear day you can see the South Downs.
