Just one hour from Central London, New House Farm Country Retreat is a high end rural retreat set in the heart of the High Weald of East Sussex. It is based around six lodges and a farmhouse in a contemporary rustic style, all with far reaching views of the High Weald – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). At its centre is a beautiful and extremely spacious, long, communal barn
which also includes further accommodation facilities, and a huge kitchen, all designed to cater for large groups. There is a heated outdoor swimming pool available, with it's own private gardens and terraces, and also a hot tub
It is a et amongst 12 private acres of untouched rolling, rural landscapes. There is a walk along the beautiful banks of the River Rother, plenty of secluded spaces to relax in, wildflower meadows, streams, woodland walks and beautifully kept walled gardens. There are many local public footpaths leading from the property, across endless fields and forests, but the farm itself is entirely private. The six lodges each sleep 2-4 people, with king size beds, high end personal catering facilities, wood burning stoves, cast iron Victorian roll top baths, wet rooms as well as TV and entertainment facilities. All of the suites can comfortably accommodate more than 4 guests, by prior arrangement. There is also a farmhouse for additional accommodation. We are hidden away at the end of a private lane, spreading from the peak of the south facing Rother Valley down to the banks of the River Rother. Located between Etchingham and Ticehurst, in East Sussex. It is one hour from London by car, or 75 minutes by train from Charing Cross, via London Bridge and Waterloo East stations - all going direct to Etchingham station. We are just 3 minutes drive from the station, or a short walk. We are now taking bookings. For all enquires, please contact us on [email protected] and we’ll get back to you the same day.

A little more detail
All the suites have exceptional, far reaching views of the untouched, rolling English countryside valleys of the High Weald, surrounding the East Sussex / Kent border. Set in 12 acres of private fields, the accommodation is arranged around sculpted, Italian style walled gardens, central to this hilltop farm. Located down a private lane, far from any roads, the land then leads off to the more natural valley of the River Rother, and the fields below.
4 of the 6 suites have connecting doors to adjoining suites, which can be kept locked, or can be opened to create accommodation for groups of 4-8, with the capacity to comfortably sleep more, upon request. Central to the country suites of New House Farm is the huge yet welcoming original 300 year old barn, 50 metres long, with a wide inglenook fireplace, classic beamed ceiling, wood and stone flooring, original sandstone masonry walls, and mahogany wood paneling. The barn, is perfect for long table feasting and family celebrations, with the additional capacity to be able to accommodate large and extended families and wide groups of friends. By the fireplace are floor to ceiling windows with views over the gardens, and the valleys beyond. An antique spiral staircase leads you up to the mezzanine room, with further accommodation, and entertainment area. The barn, which is open to all guests when available, is also for private hire, upon request, for those staying with us at New House Farm. The barn has an open kitchen set up to high professional standards, which makes it the perfect setting for group gatherings where a chef can be arranged to cater for you, or where groups can enjoy cooking and eating together. The barn is accessed via a large boot room – perfect to “de-compress” after time out in the countryside, and enter it’s more civilised environment clean and refreshed, without having to go to the private rooms first. The barn and boot room also have toilets and a shower (including a disabled toilet). In addition to the premium accommodation and barn, amongst the grounds of New House Farm you will discover an enormous cast iron fire pit, many secluded, quiet and remote locations around which to gather, or simply to be alone. There will also be BBQs available on request, terraces, private gardens and centuries old oak trees to shelter beneath. While you’re with us
The accommodation, their views, the communal facilities and beautiful gardens make New House Farm very much a destination in it’s own right. Even a cold winter’s night, curled up in front of a wood burning stove staring deep over the valley from your own sofa or bed make for a memorable experience. Relaxing with friends in front of the fire in the barn is one of the greatest places to spend time together. However, the local area also has so much to offer whilst you are staying with us.
