The garden is fully enclosed at this dog friendly accommodation, making it a perfect rural spot. The Challoners is a place to enjoy some peace and quiet, so the owners have deliberately left out a TV. You may come with good intentions to explore the area and find yourself not wanting to leave this haven all weekend! If you can pull yourself away there are 300 acres of foot and cycle paths to explore in the surrounding area, including access to the owners private 50 acres of woodland with one of the largest badger sets in Europe. A unique boutique countryside retreat for romantic short breaks and pure indulgent escapism.
The pretty village of Robertsbridge is just a mile away and offers a general store, dog friendly local pubs, and award-winning Indian restaurant. Bewl Water is 7 miles away and offers various water sports and the Bodiam Boating Station is 10 miles away which offers river cruises and boat hire for a more relaxed day out or kayaking for the more adventurous. You can also explore Bodiam Castle 3 miles away and a little further afield are Battle, the Cinque Ports town of Rye and the coastal town of Hastings. The area between Robertsbridge, Rye and Pevensey is called ‘1066 Country’ and boasts a host of tourist and leisure attractions, including Great Dixter and Smallhythe Place. For those wanting to venture back to the time of steam trains, visit the Kent and East Sussex Railway and take a trip from Bodiam to Tenterden in one of the lovely old carriages.

I was looking for something away from busy environment to relax, enjoy peace and quiet. Me and my partner had amazing time at Challoners, ideal location to unwind and relax in peaceful surroundings. My partner wish to come back for a little longer stay.

The Challoners is a beautiful accommodation in a place peaceful enough for a total reset.
The Challoners is a beautiful accommodation in a place peaceful enough for a total reset. Instead of car noise, sirens, and street lights, you can hear the geese overhead and see an unpolluted night sky. It was very cold when we stayed but inside was really warm thanks to underfloor heating, plus there were additional heaters if required! The decoration was also lovely and the little enclosed garden was perfect for our Labradoodle!

A wonderful relaxing haven! The garden which is dog safe is such a peaceful spot with lots of seating and relaxing areas. The two huts are beautifully designed and decorated with all you need to lock yourselves away from the world with some thoughtful environmentally friendly luxuries. Jim Bev and Jordan made us feel very welcome and we knew we could text with any problems. Jim gave a thorough and helpful welcome tour explaining everything so clearly. We enjoyed walking to the two local pubs for dinner and getting to know the local area. Our dog loved the walk in the neighbouring woods. We can’t wait to return.

Probably the most relaxing accommodation set-up and location we've ever had the pleasure of staying
Probably the most relaxing accommodation set-up and location we've ever had the pleasure of staying in! 100% private, fully enclosed garden (perfect for our potential escapee dog), easy-to-light fire, ample outside seating areas in a very pretty garden provided the perfect two-day, get-away-from-it-all mini-holiday. Before our stay we were wondering how well the separate 'pods' would work, and I am happy to say that it's a genius idea because it means the bedroom/bath zone remains clean, tidy and romantic, while the kitchen/lounge area can be a bit more 'lived-in' with no guilt or looking at the washing up after dinner. Having taken pre-made salads and other bits from our local farm shop with us, we did absolutely nothing for two days - (apart from a quick pop to the shop up the road, a collecting a curry from the award-winning restaurant 5mins away) - which was just what we needed! Had we been staying longer we would have definitely got out and about to mooch around the local area and visit a few touristy spots. Jim, our host, was extremely welcoming and told us everything we needed to know before leaving us be for the entire 48hrs - there was also no stress to vacate too early on the Sunday which was much-appreciated.Next time!
