Remember the enchanting Hundred Acre Wood that was home to playful characters like Winnie, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, Kanga and Roo?

Well, there is now a 'Bearbnb' located in the original Hundred Acre Wood in Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, that sleeps up to four guests and is hosted by the Disney-appointed Winnie the Pooh illustrator, Kim Raymond.

It's is available to book on Airbnb as part of Disney’s 95th anniversary celebrations of the loveable children's characters.

Kim drew inspiration from the original book illustrations of E.H. Shepard when it came to designing the treehouse. Complete with honey pots and a hanging bell, this is truly a trip down memory lane.

The listing on Airbnb reads: "This house is a window into my world. I have been working with a team of experts to bring Winnie the Pooh’s ‘Tree House’ as depicted in the classic A.A. Milne tales, to life... I am so excited to welcome families to the original Hundred Acre Wood. TTFN!"

Guests will be taken on a guided tour through the enchanted wood and can play Poohsticks on Poohsticks Bridge. Inside, the tree trunk is kitted out with a double bed and two matching bunk beds on top of wooden ladders.

The comfy lounge space comes fully equipped with a cosy blankets and a dining area for guests to appreciate a "smackerel" or two.

Like any Airbnb, there's a few important house rules to abide by:

  • Strictly no heffalumps inside the house
  • Hands are to be kept out of the honey pots
  • A snack of “a little something” encouraged at 11 o’clock in the morning
  • Poohsticks is mandatory
  • Multiple naps are permitted
