Bibleham is an East Sussex holiday rental so good even the most imaginative dreams fall short. The 15th-century cottage nestles on the edge of Mayfield amongst glorious countryside with panoramic High Weald views that will have you throwing open your bedroom curtains with delight. Bibleham is wonderfully spacious, sleeping ten people in four bedrooms with two acres of grounds. It's ideal for a family holiday, a relaxed hen weekend, or a reunion with friends and extended family. Guests love exploring the area on foot or by car, yet are equally happy to stay at the house, making the most of the games room, gardens and swimming pool.
Mayfield may only be 60 miles from London, but it's worlds away from the hustle and bustle of the nation's capital. Settled by the Saxons, the village has a medieval church dedicated to St Dunstan, a house (now a school) visited by Elizabeth I, and links to wool smuggling. More recently, Mayfield was a Times Village of the Year and is home to the fantastic Middle House restaurant, cafes and pubs. Shops, restaurants and other amenities are 11 miles north in Royal Tunbridge Wells where the mainline train takes you to London Charing Cross in an hour.
Local attractions include Bateman's, the magnificent Jacobean home of Rudyard Kipling now in the care of National Trust. Staying with the literary theme, you can also see Pound Cottage in Mayfield, where Pamela Travers created her Mary Poppins books. Golf and fishing are popular pastimes, and the owners have provided a map of local scenic walks. You're only 45 minutes from the coast, so a day at the beach is also simple to arrange and enjoy.
