“The old house is a unique setting. It feels more homey that a hotel. The service was perfect and friendly. Breakfast was a treat.”

Colin

South Africa

“When we needed breakfast it was exceptional and good value. Location to family was great and the hostess, Julia, was very helpful. The "Hobbert House" was a little smaller than expected, but we managed.”

Lois

The original part to the property is late 18th Century- said to be haunted, I’ve never had an occurrence, although I did wonder if my teenagers were possessed 😬 The house is made from local sandstone and quite often gets mistaken for a church. I run my businesses Empoweru and WINEntwine from my home. It’s always been a wonderful place to live. There’s a well in the lounge, just one amazing thing to notice.

Running bnb for a number of years with my different properties. My youngest child is now off to university so I need to keep occupied. I like everyone who stays to feel completely at home here.

Set in the beautiful Surrey countryside we have some greats walks just round the back of my property. Excellent country pubs and sites to see such as Pooh corner and the Ashdown Forest.
