Ideal location for exploring the South Downs easy walk to coastline walks down to the Seven Sisters and beyond. If really hot and you have dogs nice shady walks with lots of trails through Friston forest. No need for car and car park charges

One star review awarded for the cottages peaceful and beautiful location. The property is completely let down by the poor cleanliness and standard of equipment provided. I would not recommend booking this cottage. Other Classic Cottages are of a much higher standard. The owner needs to change its cleaning company and upgrade some of the cottages facilities and equipment....

This is a lovely property in a great location. The facilities are excellent and having access to a BBQ, dishwasher, freezer, washer and tumble dryer made our stay highly convenient. We walked every day and can recommend using the 13 bus route from the Seven Sisters Visitor Centre to access Beachy Head and walk back along the cliffs. Another fantactic walk is over the fields to Alfriston and if you're feeling like you've got a bit extra in you, further on to Berwick and the excellent Cricketers Arms. When we had a problem with the WiFi it was fixed within the hour. Can't wait to book our return stay!...
