Lauren and Tom
Attached to Flimwell's Old School House, and set in 7 acres of woodland, the Janitor's Lodge dates back to 1847 and offers a unique stay on the Sussex/Kent borders. This self contained unit offers 2 bedrooms with Kingsize beds, shower room, and a sunny open plan kitchen/dining/living space. With your own front door, private garden and secure parking for 2 vehicles, this property makes a perfect base for families and guests with dogs looking to explore the local area, including Bewl Water, Bedgebury, Scotney and Bodiam castles. We offer secure private parking for 2 cars
We're Tom and Lauren, owners of the Old School House and your hosts. Our aim is provide you with both a home from home and an unforgettable stay. We love recommending experiences, attractions and eateries we've discovered since moving here 4 years ago, and are always on hand for advice, tips, and to point you in the direction of hidden gems the vicinity has to offer to make the most of your stay.
Situated half a mile from the junction with the A21 (with links to the coast and London) and nestled between the quaint villages of Ticehurst, Hawkhurst, Lamberhurst and Robertsbridge, we have 2 National Trust Castles (Bodium and Scotney) abbey ruins, Bewl Water, Bedgebury Pinetum, vineyards, fine dining and gastropubs....all under 10 minutes away. On the Sussex/Kent borders, just over 1hr from London, but only 25mins from the coast, and set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the location takes some beating.
