Beechwood offers gold award, five star, bed and breakfast accommodation in Halland, just outside Uckfield.

The Sussex-style house sits in an acre of mature gardens and is ideally located for a host of local venues, including East Sussex National Golf Club and Glyndebourne Opera House.

It is on the A22 within easy reach of Brighton, Tunbridge Wells and Eastbourne, just 25 miles from Gatwick and three miles from Uckfield railway station, which has a direct line into London.

Owner Carol Hyland is happy to advise on the wide choice of local pubs and restaurants and places of interest including an excellent choice of National Trust locations.

Beechwood is open all-year-round including Christmas and New Year and rooms are available for short term let during the winter months.

It has official five star and gold ratings and is a member of the Green Tourism business scheme - which encourages operation in an environmentally sensitive way - with bronze accreditation.
