All the buzz
A Winnie the Pooh-inspired home in the original Hundred Acre wood is now available to book on Airbnb.
It is part of Disney’s 95th anniversary celebrations of the lovable children’s character and is set in the original Hundred Acre Wood located in Ashdown Forest.
Winnie the Pooh illustrator Kim Raymond, who has been drawing the iconic bear for 30 years, will host the BearBnB.
The custom built ‘BearBnB’ is the perfect getaway for Winnie the Pooh and Disney fans.
It is built with exposed tree branches wrapped around the door with ‘Mr. Sanders’ listed above bespoke wallpaper designed by Kim, and if guests peek inside the kitchen cupboards, they’ll find shelves filled with jars of honey.
Drawing inspiration from the original EH Shepard sets, Kim says, “I have been illustrating Winnie the Pooh for thirty years and continue to draw inspiration from classic EH Shepard sets and more recent Disney stories.
“The ‘BearBnB’ is a unique experience that brings Pooh’s charm to life for fans, while honoring the original adventures that have meant so much to so many for 95 years.”
Along with charming references to the original Pooh tales, the house is fully equipped for guests to enjoy a relaxing family stay, including a downstairs double bed and a loft with two comfortable single beds.
The lounge area is fully equipped with a comfortable seating and dining area for guests to enjoy a smackerel or two.
During each stay, guests will take a guided tour through the original Hundred Acre Woods, play Poohsticks on the iconic Poohsticks Bridge, and sample local honey-inspired dishes.
Like any AirBnB, there are certain “house rules” that must be followed during your stay.
These rules include:
- Strictly no heffalumps inside the house
- Hands should be kept away from honey jars
- A “little something” snack encouraged at 11 a.m.
- Poohsticks is mandatory
- Multiple naps are allowed
- No animals (other than Roos, Tigger, Eeyore, Piglet and Pooh)
- Don’t smoke, you will disturb the bees
