You can now rent Winnie the Pooh's charming house in the original Hundred Acre Wood via Airbnb — and 'hunny' pots are included.
Nestled in the Ashdown Forest, the 'Bearbnb' has been listed to celebrate Pooh's 95th anniversary. While Christopher Robin, Eeyore and Kanga might not be making an appearance, it has everything guests need to enjoy the setting for A.A. Milne's children's classic.
Built using exposed tree branches wrapped around the doorway, visitors will enjoy stacks of sweet honey, cosy Pooh toys, bespoke wallpaper, comfy armchairs, wooden bunkbeds, and a teapot for afternoon tea. But that's not all: guests can also live out their childhood dreams thanks to a guided tour through the enchanted woodland and a game of Poohsticks on Poohsticks Bridge.
The delightful home sleeps up to four guests and is hosted by artist Kim Raymond – the artist who has been drawing Pooh for more than 30 years.
'I have been illustrating Winnie the Pooh for thirty years and I continue to be inspired by the classic decorations of E.H. Shepard and the more recent Disney stories,' says Kim, who brought Pooh's house to life using details from E.H. Shepard's original book illustrations.
'The "Bearbnb" is a unique experience that brings the charm of Pooh to life for fans, whilst honouring the original adventures that have been so important to many people for 95 years.'
'Winnie the Pooh is a childhood jewel beloved by families the world over,' says Catherine Powell, Airbnb Global Head of Hosting. 'This year, the original books celebrate their 95th anniversary. What better way to commemorate A.A. Milne's classic work than with these two once-in-a-lifetime stays in the original Hundred Acre Wood.'
Tempted to book your stay? The Bearbnb is located in Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, and Kim will host two separate stays on the 24th and 25th September for £95 per night. Bookings will go live at 2PM BST on Monday 20 September, so make sure to register your interest.
