Rent Winnie the Pooh's Iconic House in Ashdown Forest on Airbnb for a Magical Family Weekend

This charming house in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, England, may spark fond childhood memories. It's the real-life inspiration for Winnie the Pooh's home from A.A. Milne's beloved tales. To celebrate the bear's 95th birthday, you can now rent this unique spot for a weekend getaway.

Rent Winnie the Pooh's House for an Unforgettable Weekend

Drawing directly from Milne's original stories, this Winnie the Pooh-themed house offers families of up to four a one-night immersion on September 24 and 25. As dedicated fans of the Hundred Acre Wood adventures, we've seen how these stays bring the magic to life.

Beyond nostalgic nods to the tales, the fully equipped house ensures family relaxation: a ground-floor double bed, a cozy mezzanine with two single beds, comfortable living room seating, and a dining area perfect for honey-inspired treats—just like Pooh. Stays include a guided tour of the actual Ashdown Forest (the 'Forest of Blue Dreams'), Pooh's iconic stick game on the historic bridge, and local honey-flavored meals.

How to Book Winnie the Pooh's House

Exclusive to Airbnb, this bespoke experience features:

  • Branches wrapping around the front door, with the inscription 'Mr. Sanders' above—a nod to the original stories.
  • Custom wallpaper designed by host Kim Raymond.
  • Kitchen cupboards stocked with honey jars for that authentic Pooh touch.

Airbnb anticipates high demand; bookings open Monday, September 20 at 2pm UK time. Only current UK residents can book, in line with local COVID-19 guidelines.
