HOLLY Willoughby has visited a new Winnie-the-Pooh inspired house.
The home is built in a tree located in Ashdown Forest – the original inspiration for the Hundred Acre Wood in AA Milne’s tales.
The Brighton-born TV presenter enjoyed a weekend staycation with her daughter Belle at the house, which marks the 95th anniversary of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.
The This Morning host shared photos of herself sitting on a swing outside the property and Belle, aged ten, knocking on the front door.
Alongside the snap, Holly said: “Yesterday… she made it… deep in the Hundred Acre Wood in search of Pooh bear and dreams came true… Happy birthday Winnie-the-Pooh”.
The guesthouse has been curated by Disney-appointed illustrator Kim Raymond, who drew inspiration from the original book illustrations of EH Shepard when designing the treehouse.
It can accommodate up to four guests with prices starting from £95 a night with booking available on Airbnb.
Mr Raymond said the house offers a chance to delve into the world of Winnie-the-Pooh.
“I have been illustrating Winnie the Pooh for 30 years and I continue to be inspired by the classic decorations of EH Shepard and the more recent Disney stories,” he said.
“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.”
Kitchen shelves within the property are stocked with model honeypots, allowing visitors to embrace their natural surroundings and “live more like Pooh”.
During the stay, guests will also receive a guided tour through a reimagined Hundred Acre Wood and enjoy locally sourced, honey-inspired meals.
The property includes a double bed on the ground floor and a mezzanine area with two comfortable single beds.
The lounge space comes equipped with a seating and dining area.
Catherine Powell, Airbnb global head of hosting, said: “Winnie-the-Pooh is a childhood jewel beloved by families the world over.
“This year, the original books celebrate their 95th anniversary. What better way to commemorate (Milne’s) classic work than with these two once-in-a-lifetime stays?
“A perfect place to do nothing. As Pooh said, ‘doing ‘nothing’ often leads to the very best something’.”
The home will host two separate stays on September 24 and 25.
Available booking dates will go live from September 20.
