  Incredible!

  We booked the wonderful Ravenclaw Hall in late November for a weekend away with friends. The booking process was simple and as it was for a birthday, we were even able to request champagne on arrival from our host, the owner David. What a lovely touch! The house, simply put, is incredible. It more than lived up to expectations with its vast entrance hall, grand rooms and expansive gardens. We were somewhat unlucky with the weather, however lounging by the open fires with a glass or two of claret was an experience in itself. We made good use of the facilities including the snooker table and table tennis and my children had an incredibly fun time exploring the gardens in their wellies. With a large kitchen and views to die for, the group was easily catered for in the house, however we also ate at The Bell in Ticehurst, which is in close proximity to the house as are many other eateries and places of interest. We didn’t want to leave at the end of the weekend and I am already looking forward to our next visit to this fabulous property. Thank you very much David and family!

  Magnificent country house

  Ravenclaw Hall was once a school with 60 small boys and a number of staff living on site. It is now once again an elegant country mansion with room for 13 guests. Admittedly, some of the less interesting parts of the building were destroyed by fire many years ago but what remains is truly sumptuous. Set in the High Weald, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the borders of Kent and Sussex, the house enjoys glorious views over miles of apparently empty countryside. There’s a swimming pool in the grounds and we played croquet on one of the lawn. We walked through a carpet of bluebells in the woods and before eating in the elegant dining room we enjoyed a log fire in the panelled drawing room. The billiard room and the ping pong room were popular after dinner. Some of the bedrooms are enormous and almost all have en-suite bathrooms. We revelled in their size and charm. Over half a century ago, I was one of those prep school boys. How wonderful to enjoy the beauty and elegance of my old school in its reincarnation as a magnificent country house.

  Fabulous!

  What a wonderful place! We have just returned from a lovely stay at Ravenclaw Hall with extended family which will linger happily in the memory. The house is beautiful, with huge charm, comfort and great space. The layout worked perfectly for a large family and the pool, tennis court and pool table were a great draw for the younger family members. The owner could not have been nicer or easier to deal with. All in all, the stay exceeded our expectations in every respect and we hope we will be able to return. Highly recommended.
