Cottages in Rottingdean

Rottingdean is the perfect holiday destination for those who enjoy a mixture of activities. Located just four miles east of bustling Brighton and Hove, it is a popular seaside village abundant with charm and character where you can enjoy a slower pace of life. Our Rottingdean Holiday Cottages provide you with a wonderful coastal retreat, as they’re all within a mile of the beach, with some even looking straight over the sea. 

Rottingdean’s historic high street, which is home to boutique stores, cosy cafes and a myriad of welcoming pubs will transport you back in time as will the Norman Church and Windmill. Each offers fascinating insights into the history of this unique village. Rottingdean has numerous artistic connections to uncover, not least of all Kipling's old home and adjacent walled gardens in addition to The Grange, which acts as a museum of times gone by and an art gallery.

The beautiful pebbled Rottingdean Beach offers summertime fun without the crowds of Brighton and the undercliff walk is an equally delightful way to take in the stunning views. This five-mile route runs between Madeira Drive at Brighton Marina and Rottingdean Beach and is loved by all who try it. Enjoy a Mr Whippy ice cream from the beachside cafe, walk the dog along the beach, watch the kids playing on the shore, and end the day with a drink in one of the local pubs! From Rottingdean you also have direct access to the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park. The beautiful countryside walks which surround you will fool you into thinking that you are no longer on the South Coast. Why not take the footpath to Lewes, where you can enjoy a well-deserved roast after all of that exercise!

With great links to Brighton (just a 20-minute bus ride away) and a host of amenities and activities, Rottingdean is the perfect place for a family holiday by the sea. Browse through our bespoke collection of Rottingdean holiday homes and start planning your Sussex seaside break today!
