The Bell - Inn in Sussex
High Street, Ticehurst, TN5 7AS, Sussex
England,
Regno Unito
The rambling 16th-century Bell Inn, its unassuming façade hiding an atmospheric interior, is quirky and charming in every way. Logs in the inglenook, big wonky beams, Harvey's on tap, and dog treats by the bar. Equally wonderful is the dining room (red walls, flickering candles) and the cosy 'snug': sink into sofas by the log fire.
Bedrooms – unique, unusual, and extremely comfortable – are designed to make you smile. Some are above the pub and the rest out the back, in a secluded courtyard garden with tables under the trees, a fire pit and a barbecue. Take your pick from four new Garden Houses, slightly smaller rooms but with a quirky, retro feel. As for the food, the menu consists of the freshest local ingredients and menus change with the seasons, while family Sunday lunches draw a loyal crowd.
Blow the cobwebs away on Beachy Head, taste the wines at Chapel Down, visit Sissinghurst, let the dogs run wild on Camber Sands.
