About Thimbles Bed & Breakfast
Rudyard Kipling's former home at Bateman's and the steam engines of the Bluebell Railway are both within reach of Thimbles Bed & Breakfast, making this a sound base for a few days exploring East Sussex. Heathfield itself offers walking and cycling country round about, along with golf and fishing nearby, so there's plenty to fill the days beyond the headline attractions.
Rooms are en-suite, with family rooms available for those travelling in a group, and each comes with drinks provided and views over the garden. Breakfast is included, and there's a garden and picnic area with outdoor seating for warmer mornings, plus free WiFi throughout. Reception operates around the clock, which suits guests arriving after a day out on the railway or the road.
Free on-site parking makes it straightforward to come and go, and pubs, bars and restaurants nearby cover evening meals if you don't fancy cooking or eating in. It's a simple, well-placed stop for visiting the surrounding countryside rather than a destination in itself.
