Planning Your Sussex Getaway

Our East Sussex holiday cottages also cover Eastbourne, Lewes, Uckfield and Ashdown Forest. Eastbourne is a lovely, quieter coastal fishing village with dramatic white cliffs. The walk along the cliffs between Birling Gap and Beachy Head is one of Eastbourne’s most breathtaking walks, with views that will blow you away. For more natural beauty, head to the more rural spot of Ashdown Forest, where we have some truly unique properties. This woodland is so magical it was the inspiration for the forest in Winnie the Pooh. Near to Ashdown Forest is the town of Uckfield, which is home to the Bluebell Railway, a nineteenth-century steam train that is open to the public. For an extra-special treat, be sure to book onto the train for afternoon tea to have a truly vintage experience! The National Trust site Sheffield Park and Garden is also in Uckfield, a beautiful ground which blossoms in Autumn, when the trees' amber leaves create a dazzling hue of contrasting tones reflected in the lake’s water. 

West Sussex has equal delights to offer. Home to Brighton, the region’s most vibrant and trendy coastal town, West Sussex has it all going on. A stay in one of our Brighton and Hove holiday homes definitely won’t be a boring one, as Brighton has all sorts going on. From rollerblading along the seafront to playing in the arcades on Palace Pier and shopping in the Laines, Brighton has it all. Chichester is another popular West Sussex spot. Home to Fishbourne Roman Palace and the Novium Museum, Chichester is the home of West Sussex history. Close to the Sussex coast, it also has a selection of beaches for you to visit, including the sandy shores of Wittering Beach (be sure to book ahead) and the pebbled shoreline of Worthing. The sea in West Sussex is always clean and safe to swim in too!
