Waterside Manor
About Waterside Manor
Waterside Manor is a beautiful Arts and Crafts house in East Sussex. It’s set beside Bewl Water, a country park on the border of East Sussex and Kent.
Waterside Manor is fully equipped to adhere to latest government rules. Treat your stay as a wonderful few days at a country house. 8 bedrooms all with en suite WC/shower, 3 tables of 6 in spacious dining room, 1 table of 6 in orangery, 3 separate seating areas for 6 or more with TVs, 3 separate kitchen areas, separate WC for staff & caterers. Staircase, hall, landing all allowing for social distancing. 4 separate outside seating areas. Come & get away from it all with your friends & family in groups of 6 or larger family bubbles.
The house sleeps up to 18 guests in 8 bedrooms, one of which is a double on the ground floor (although it’s not en-suite). There are 6 other double rooms, and 2 double rooms with an additional single bed in the dressing room. All of the upstairs bedrooms are en-suite, and include a four-poster bed, around which to twirl. The Bramble Suite has its own Cycling Room, and you can pedal off last night’s banquet as you look out over the lake.
Downstairs, there’s plenty of space for a country house party. The main hallway has a sweeping staircase and galleried landing, and leads to the drawing room, with comfortable sofas and an inglenook fire place. There is also a library, crammed with books (and a Foosball table), a dining room (which seats 18) and a Games Room, with a table-tennis table, so any spirited guests can be suitably exhausted.
For late-night brandies, there’s a very comfortable Gun Room , and there’s also a large, practical kitchen with a laundry room.
The house has several sets of French windows, which lead onto the terraces and then down to the lawns. The pebbled shore of the reservoir is beyond a low garden wall. There is also a sheltered parterre garden, a Jacuzzi on the West terrace, and a beautifully mown croquet lawn.
Edmund’s Choice of Extraordinary Feature
“I love lots of things about this house – it’s superbly presented – but my favourite part is the Poop Deck, a covered terrace, from where you can watch the moon glimmer on the lake.”

Absolutely fabulous house ! Amazing views ! Everything you want for a weekend break with all the family ! Waterside escapes were excellent ! Great communication and professional company that ensure all our needs were catered for ! A very enjoyable weekend
The mot magical setting, comfotable and well cared for, charming owner, we loved it!
What an amazing and breath taking place. We stayed here for a long weekend, the house is beautiful and full of character yet lots of space for large social meals and outside seating. All of the bedrooms are decorated and presented wonderfully. There is lots of space for cricket and rounders and the hot hub there is a lovely bonus. We had outside food cooked for us on the Saturday and we visited the Vineyard pub on the Sunday which we would highly recommend. The staff / food / drinks were a delight. The views and location are absolutely breath taking, you really have to see this house in real life to appropriate it. Thank you to Helen the owner for everything. We will definitely be back.
We had the most amazing weekend. Will be recommending the house to all our relatives.
All the family had a wonderful time and we all agreed that Waterside Manor is a fabulous location . The week provided us with some lovely Christmas memories and everything about the house was ideal.. The adaption to the ground floor shower room worked well and your help in doing that was very much appreciated. We would all like to visit again , so we will start saving and hopefully return before too long. (shower was adapted for wheelchair access)
Amazing house, hot tub, everything was fantastic - thank you.
