Great location if you have a dog. Forest on the doorstep and a short walk to the sea. Lovely hamlet. Property doesn’t get too hot even when baking outside. Nice paddock for the dog. Overall probably the best cottage we’ve stayed in.

Fascinating property - very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Extremely well equipped. The paddock was an added bonus for exercising my daughter's young dog. The hamlet of West Dean is absolutely beautiful - lovely walks in to Friston Forest and up the steps to an amazing view over Cuckmere Haven. Enjoyed the little farm shop for apple juice and jam....
