Ridge Hill Manor

Mid Sussex countryside around East Grinstead offers walking and rural charm, and Ridge Hill Manor sits within it as a substantial house for groups. Six bedrooms spread across three floors can sleep nine; four bathrooms mean mornings run smoothly. Bedrooms vary from four-posters to singles, with two en-suites on the first floor. The ground floor holds a living room with open fire, two dining spaces, and a kitchen equipped for cooking—Aga, electric hob, microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine all present. Wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included, along with fuel for the fire.

Outdoors matters here: a private tennis court takes up part of the grounds, there's a children's play area, and sitting areas with garden furniture dot the land around the house. Parking for six cars sits on site. One dog can stay for free, though it must be kept on a lead. The property is entirely yours—no other guests—and smoking is not permitted inside. Travel cots and high chairs are available if needed. Check-in is after 5pm, checkout before 10am.
