Cowford Oast lies in the owner’s grounds surrounded by beautiful, established gardens and tranquil rolling hills, forests and fields. Yet the bustling spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is less than 5 miles away. The area is closely tied with the Neville family who arrived in England with William the Conqueror and settled at Eridge Park. One of their guests, Dudley Lord North, discovered the iron rich Chalybeate Spring and Tunbridge Wells was born. You too can meet the ’Dipper’, taste the waters and promenade along The Pantiles. Alternatively hone your culinary skills at the Rosemary Shrager Cookery School. Explore the plethora of footpaths on the doorstep, visit vineyards at Lamberhurst, stunning gardens such as Penshurst Place, Groombridge Place and Scotney Castle Gardens, which can all be reached within 15 minutes. Fishing and golf are available locally, and there are good rail connections to London for further sightseeing opportunities. Beach 26 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 2 miles.

A beautiful, peaceful retreat. It is a property we could recommend and an area well worth visiting; although East Sussex County Council should consider directing more funds to repairing the inumerable, often quite large and deep pot holes!
