Country House Stay on an English Tea Estate

Tucked away down a private drive on a working English tea estate, Sandbanks offers glorious countryside views and spacious, comfortable holiday accommodation in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by rolling East Sussex landscape, it’s a wonderfully peaceful setting and the perfect base for a relaxing country escape.

Originally the estate manager’s house and stables, Sandbanks now sleeps up to 10 guests and has become “one of the most loved homes on Airbnb, according to guests.” The house blends charm and comfort, with generous living spaces and a welcoming atmosphere that makes it ideal for family holidays or gatherings with friends.

Outside, guests can enjoy a private garden with outdoor dining and a barbecue, perfect for long summer evenings overlooking the countryside.

Sandbanks is ideally located for exploring the best of East Sussex. The surrounding area offers extensive footpaths, beautiful gardens, vineyards and historic landmarks. Bodiam Castle and Battle Abbey are both around four miles away, while the historic town of Battle is just three miles from the house.

The villages of Robertsbridge and Brightling are both within 2.4 miles, offering charming pubs and local amenities. The coast is only nine miles away, making it easy to enjoy seaside days in Hastings, while the elegant spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells is also within easy reach.

With its peaceful setting, beautiful views and excellent location, Sandbanks is the perfect place for a country holiday in East Sussex. It is also an ideal place to stay when visiting The Banks Tea Company for their seasonal tea events throughout the year
