Wish Wood – a peaceful South Downs retreat near Eastbourne

Enjoy the best of both worlds at Wish Wood: a peaceful detached bungalow in Ratton, close to the beautiful South Downs and just a short drive from the coast and attractions of Eastbourne.

Set in a quiet residential area near the quintessential English village of Willingdon, Wish Wood is a comfortable and spacious base for families, friends and couples looking to explore East Sussex.

With three bedrooms, two shower rooms, a private garden and driveway parking, the single-storey accommodation offers everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Wish Wood has three bedrooms and sleeps up to five guests comfortably. The master bedroom features a double bed and its own ensuite shower room.

The second bedroom also has a double bed, while the third has a single bed, making it ideal for a child or additional guest. The second and third bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill shower room.

The spacious lounge and dining room has a traditional, characterful feel, with elegant furnishings and plenty of space for everyone to relax. There is comfortable seating, a TV and a dining table for meals, games or planning the next day's adventures.

French doors open onto the private rear garden, making it easy to enjoy the outside space during warmer weather.

The separate kitchen is equipped for self-catering and includes an oven and hob, fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. For longer stays, the property also has a washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing facilities.

A small breakfast table beside the windows overlooks the garden, while a door provides direct access to the decking and outdoor seating — an ideal spot for a morning coffee.

The enclosed rear garden is a lovely place to relax after a day exploring East Sussex. The decking has outdoor seating where you can enjoy breakfast, a drink or a quiet evening.

There is private driveway parking for one car, making the property particularly convenient for guests exploring by car.

The garage and a small number of cupboards are kept locked for private use; otherwise, the property and garden are exclusively yours during your stay. WiFi, bed linen and regular towels are provided at this Exclusively Eastbourne holiday home. Please bring your own beach towels.

A well-behaved, adult, neutered dog may be considered by prior arrangement, with a supplement payable. Please contact us before booking if you would like to bring your dog.
