Holidaymakers offered chance to stay in the home of Winnie the Pooh author - but it has a dark past
Holidaymakers are being offered the chance to stay in the home of A.A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh - but it has a dark past.
Cotchford Farm in Hartfield, East Sussex has cemented itself in British history, serving as the inspiration behind the famous children's book series, and is now available as a holiday let on Airbnb,
A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin, was the basis for the character of the same name in the novels, and the surrounding Ashdown Forest became the setting of the Hundred Acre Wood, where Pooh lives.
However, the six-bedroom property would go on to gain a tragic past as it later served as the home of Rolling Stones founding member Brian Jones, who was found dead on the grounds in 1969.
