1 / 19The Cottage At Horsted Keynes
Horsted Keynes, Sussex
A cosy Grade II listed cottage for four in the heart of Horsted Keynes, with an enclosed front garden, a wood burner, footpaths from the front door and two dogs welcome.
The Cottage is a cosy, Grade II listed home in the heart of the delightful village of Horsted Keynes, and footpaths lead straight from its front door into the High Weald AONB. This dog friendly cottage welcomes four guests and two dogs, and its enclosed front garden holds a picnic table, a playhouse and a slide.
The front door opens directly into the lounge, where two comfy sofas and a Smart TV share the room with a cosy wood burner, the dogs settled in front of it by the time the kettle boils. Beyond, the dining room is bright, with a sunny aspect and views over the garden, a lovely setting for shared meals, and it leads through to the kitchen with its range style electric oven and five ring gas hob.
A cottage style staircase climbs to the first floor, where a king size bedroom and a bunk room share a bathroom offering a bath plus a separate shower cubicle. Outside, the enclosed front garden lets the children play in the playhouse or on the slide with the dogs keeping them company, and the picnic table is set for dining al fresco.
Enthusiastic walkers and dog owners step straight out onto High Weald footpaths, and Ashdown Forest, home to Pooh Corner, is within reach. The Bluebell Railway stops nearby and runs to Sheffield Park Gardens, and Wakehurst Place, Standen and Borde Hill Gardens make lovely days out for keen gardeners. Further afield lie Glyndebourne's summer concerts, historic Lewes and Alfriston, and the Rathfinny Wine Estate.

Is The Cottage At Horsted Keynes dog friendly?
Yes, The Cottage At Horsted Keynes welcomes up to two dogs. The ground floor gives them three rooms in a line — lounge, dining room and kitchen — plus a wood burner to settle in front of, which is a pretty good deal. The front garden is enclosed by a fence, so they can watch village life go past without you worrying about them wandering off.
Are dogs allowed at The Cottage At Horsted Keynes year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so there's nothing to suggest they're limited to certain times of year. If you want to confirm availability for a specific dates, it's always worth checking directly with the property.
What should I know before visiting The Cottage At Horsted Keynes with my dog?
The maximum is two dogs, so it's not the place for a larger pack. The enclosed front garden is a handy secure space, though it faces the street rather than a private rear garden, so your dogs will have an audience. Footpaths reach open fields within a hundred yards of the door, and Ashdown Forest — a vast stretch of heath and woodland with open access — is just 3.5 miles away for longer days out.
