You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A peaceful ground floor apartment within our refurbished Sussex barn.

With two double bedrooms, lounge, galleried dining area, bathroom and laundry room, the self contained suite of rooms is situated on the ground floor of our beautiful Sussex barn. Guests can sit by the lake, or use the garden, with its patio area and barbecue, while enjoying wonderful far reaching views across the countryside.

Heartwood Barn sits on the edge of the popular village of Ticehurst, with its award winning pub and restaurant, The Bell. Set as we are within an Area of Outstanding Beauty, there are many beautiful walks to be enjoyed. Bewl Water is a few minutes’ away on foot, or a short car journey takes you to Bedgebury Pinetum, Scotney Castle, Bodium Castle and the wonderful gardens at Sissinghurst and Great Dixter. But with a complete change of mood, the bustling town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is only twenty minutes by car and London can be accessed easily from the mainline station in the neighbouring village of Wadhurst.

The south coast is a pleasant drive away, through the leafy lanes. The ancient Cinque Port town of Rye is a ‘must see’, while we are especially lucky to have so many great fish and other restaurants to sample at the resorts along the coast... towns such as Brighton, Hastings, Lewes, Eastbourne and Bexhill. Heartwood will provide you with a peaceful, comfortable, country retreat to return to after a busy day’s local sight seeing.

We provide quality bed linen and towels, a housekeeping service, plus a ‘welcome’ basket of local produce to introduce you to the area. We love where we live and we hope you will, too!

Our best VRBO yet
Not only is this a beautiful property, but the proprietors went above and beyond the call to help us when emails went missing. Everything one might want for breakfast was provided, as well as instructions for the house appliances and recommendations offered in a neat notebook. We hope to visit again. Highly recommended.

Beautiful and cosy get away break
What a beautiful and cosy apartment! Fantastic attention to detail, hand crafted heart shaped door handles, chocolates on the pillows, home made bread and cupcakes we could go on and on. Thank you so much for your kind hospitality Ann & Ian. Hand wash, washing up liquid, shower gel all supplied along with soft towels and the most comfortable bed and bed linen. We were very comfortable. There really is so much to do around the area and so many great places to eat (loved The Bell, 10 mins walk away and The Vineyard a 10 mins drive) The apartment is across the courtyard just inside the main barn/house. We were made to feel so welcome and cannot wait to return. Thank you again for letting us stay in your amazing home.

Fantastic hosts, property and location,
Ann and Ian were incredibly welcoming and kind. The barn was beautiful and very comfortably furnished and the gardens were immaculate - credit to Ann. The homemade bread and other provisions left were delicious and most welcomed. We also had the added advantage of Ian’s passion for classic cars which kept my dad (84 years young) in his element, especially having a ride out one afternoon with Ian in one of the cars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and although we were visiting family, there is so much to do in the area. We hope to visit again soon and would highly recommend a stay to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

Lovely short break
I stayed in the apartment for a couple of nights with a friend for a short walking break. The apartment is gorgeous. Definitely 5*. Ann was a fabulous host and her homemade bread left for us on arrival was amazing as well as the sausages, egg and cake! We were lucky to get in before lockdown 2 and hope we can return in the future.
