The details

Hidden within the remarkable grounds of Wickham Manor near Winchelsea, The Tudor offers an unforgettable romantic escape steeped in centuries of history and timeless charm. Part of the magnificent 16th-century manor house, this atmospheric retreat for two combines period grandeur, sweeping countryside views and luxurious comfort, creating a truly distinctive stay in the Sussex countryside.

From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of stepping back in time. Wickham Manor itself is wonderfully historic, once connected to William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, and now carefully restored under the care of the National Trust. The manor’s cinematic beauty has even appeared on screen in productions including The Crown and Mr. Holmes. Surrounded by rolling farmland and neighbouring the family-run Charles Palmer Vineyard, the setting feels wonderfully peaceful, with guests invited to enjoy a complimentary glass of Sussex wine during their stay.

Inside, The Tudor is intimate, cosy and filled with character. Exposed timber beams, rich fabrics and antique-style furnishings create a warm and romantic atmosphere, while the crackling log burner makes evenings here feel especially inviting. The ground floor living space is perfect for slow mornings and relaxed evenings, with comfortable seating, a dining area and a handy kitchenette complete with a microwave, fridge freezer, coffee machine and breakfast essentials for easy stays.

Upstairs, the beautiful king size four-poster bed takes centre stage in the master bedroom, creating a wonderfully indulgent place to rest after days exploring the Sussex coast and countryside. Two armchairs offer the perfect spot to sit with a morning coffee while admiring the peaceful surroundings, while the family bathroom includes a bath with shower attachment for long, relaxing soaks at the end of the day.

Outside, guests can fully embrace the tranquillity of the estate. The private patio and lawned garden enjoy far-reaching views across adjoining farmland towards the sea, making this a lovely place for alfresco breakfasts, sunset drinks or summer barbecues. There’s also plenty of space to wander through the wider estate, soaking up the beauty and history that surrounds Wickham Manor.

The ancient hilltop town of Winchelsea is just a scenic 20-minute walk away along the 1066 footpath, while nearby Rye offers cobbled streets, independent shops, galleries and excellent places to eat. Head towards Pett Level or Winchelsea Beach for windswept coastal walks, or simply settle in beside the fire with a glass of local wine and enjoy the slower pace of life. Wherever your stay takes you, The Tudor offers a romantic retreat unlike anywhere else.
