This is too much for our hearts.
If you love Winnie the Pooh as much as we do, then you’re about to be blown away with this news.
You can pretty much stay in any type of themed house on Airbnb these days, from the Spice World bus to Barbie’s dream house, there’s something for everyone.
But this might just be the most exciting – the original Hundred Acre Wood is up for a holiday rental in the UK to celebrate the iconic character’s 95th anniversary.
The “Bearbnb” has been designed by Disney-appointed Winnie the Pooh illustrator, Kim Raymond, and features a treehouse stocked full of Pooh’s honey pots, specially designed wallpaper, the iconic “Mr Sanders” sign above the door and a bunch of other decorations based on E.H. Shepard’s original drawings.
“I have been illustrating Winnie the Pooh for 30 years and I continue to be inspired by the classic decorations of E.H. Shepard and the more recent Disney stories,” said Raymond.
“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.”
Located in Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, the very same forest the novel was based on, it is described as: “Alongside the charming references to the original Pooh tales, the house is fully kitted out for guests to enjoy a relaxing family stay, including a double bed on the ground floor, and a mezzanine area with two comfortable single beds. The lounge space comes fully equipped with a cozy seating and dining area for guests to appreciate a “smackerel” or two.”
Only available for two bookings, this childhood classic is not going to be a permanent Airbnb stay, so you’ll need to be quick and they go live on Monday 20th September at 2pm.
One night here is set to cost £95 for four people, which includes a guided tour through the original Hundred Acre Wood, playing Poohsticks on the Poohsticks Bridge and enjoying locally sourced hunny-inspired meals.
There are also wellness products, including yoga mats, journals and throws in the cottage to allow guests to take it easy during their stay.
