4-star lakeside retreat in East Sussex with private lake and wellness programme

Grounds & Activities

The hotel is built around a seven-acre private lake where guests can take cold-water swims, paddleboard, kayak, or relax in lakeside saunas. Forest yoga sessions are held in the surrounding ancient woodlands and wildflower meadows, and a year-round wellness programme offers additional outdoor bathing pool access. Padel courts, hiking trails, and a Craft Barn with pottery classes provide further hands-on recreation.

Accommodation

Housed in a restored Georgian Grade II-listed country house, the hotel has 55 individually designed rooms and suites inspired by the natural world. Three separate cottages-Ash, Oak, and The Lake House-offer spacious accommodation with kitchens, wood-burning stoves, and private outdoor spaces. The Lake House includes its own private garden, outdoor pool, and deck overlooking the lake.

Dining & Evening

Guests can dine at the on-site pub, restaurant, and cocktail bar, with special diet menus and a selection of wine and champagne available. The restaurant uses locally sourced produce and the pub menu includes craft beer and spirits. A members club offers a cultural and social calendar for guests who wish to engage with curated events.

Wellness & Fitness

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, heated and salt-water, plus a hot tub and jacuzzi. A personal trainer leads fitness classes and yoga sessions, and the sauna is open for use by all guests. A gym with modern equipment and a sports ground for padel courts complete the active offerings.
