Cool stay of the week: a sprawling estate in the Sussex countryside

Deep in the Sussex countryside, between Etchingham and Ticehurst, The Lodges at New House Farm offer a luxe getaway just an hour’s drive from London.

These beautifully appointed lodges, with room for up to 42 guests (but will also take bookings of just two), include a heated outdoor pool and a hot tub with panoramic views of the surrounding area for use during your stay.

Guests can choose to stay in the Grade II-listed farmhouse or in one of the pool, garden or stable lodges during their stay, which all feature master bedrooms with a king-size bed and some with a roll-top bath.

Outside guests will find a walled garden along with a 300-year-old converted barn, which has a fully-fitted kitchen able to cater for over 100 people – with private chefs available to hire as well.

Spa treatments can be arranged on request and are performed in the comfort of the guest's rooms.

Beyond the estate, you’ll have the chance to explore the beautiful High Weald district - designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty - which extends right down to the East Sussex coast.

Sleeps: up to 42 people.

Where: East Sussex.

Price: depends on booking size.
