Our second visit. The most beautiful peaceful spot far away from the madding crowd (although only a 5 minute drive to the main road!). Hope to return again!

Delightful stay in this very peaceful and well designed property. Perfectly placed for glorious walks along the coast, the South Downs and Cuckmere Valley, and close to lots of interesting cultural and historic sites including Charleston (Bloomsbury Group), Lewes (castle and galleries) and Eastbourne (Towner gallery). Furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. Some equipment in the property could do with a slight upgrade but nothing that detracted from our holiday. We definitely plan to return....

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

Lovely place, location is amazing. Only thing that lets it down is the cleanliness.
