Follow the A267 south out of Frant village past the village green on your left down the hill and up the other side, traffic island in the middle of the road on brow of hill, 100 meters on the left-hand side after you pass this island is our turning to Pococksgate farm.
Cozy inside and with gorgeous views outside-if that sounds like a splendid mix, then set off for the high weald area of outstanding natural beauty and a self-catering stay at Gabriel's Rest, a gorgeous little shepherds hut on an East Sussex working farm.
This peaceful retreat is set at Pococksgate farm, a mile south of Frant and 10 minutes drive from Royal Tunbridge Wells. It's all very peaceful here, and with far-reaching views over the Sussex landscape to admire while you chill out. Fancy a closer look at some of that countryside? the Sussex border path runs through the farm, and there's access to plenty more paths nearby for days of rural rambling.
Wherever you choose to roam, you'll be coming back to a well-appointed hut that's got all sorts of handy things provided to make life more comfortable. It's got a wood-burning stove and underfloor heating, plus a sofa, a TV and a kitchen with induction hob, fridge, and microwave. The ensuite bathroom has a shower, toilet, basin, and heated towel rail, and towels provided. Outside the decking area is all set for an alfresco evening, with a table and chairs, plus a firepit that can be used as a barbecue (with firewood included in the price of your stay).
Things to do
