The place was very convenient to visit the south coast of West Sussex. We really enjoyed staying there since the place was clean, charming & very well organized for our family. We had everything needed to feel like we were home. This is a very beautiful Cottage and we were lucky to stay there.

Sea Breezes is an ideal property for a small group of family or friends. There are 4 double bedrooms, 3 of which can be arranged as single beds (bear in mind the single beds are only 2'6" wide). The 2 shower rooms are nice and modern. We loved the decor and the quirky features in the property. The welcome pack and toiletries are a nice bonus. The property is ideally located for walks along the beach, the lagoon and the nature reserve. We didn't walk as much as we would have liked as we were there during storm Bert and it was extremely windy and wet! We had a lovely relaxing weekend and are...more

Westfield Place has a huge feeling of space; not only inside, with the high ceilings, grand staircase and large reception rooms and bedrooms, but also in the large lake, lawn and frontage/driveway areas. Lovely mature trees, flora and forna. I recommend a longer stay to really get into and live it.

Renting a large house with sea views for our family of three generations and two dogs is an annual, long weekend, event. There are 9 of us. The Shallows is by far the best yet. Grandchildren are two 20 year old girls and two 18 year old boys. The Shallows is a beautiful palatial home, well equipped, spacious beyond our expectations, beautiful spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds and luxurious linen. The pool table, heated swimming pool, hot tub, and sauna, were all well used. The hot tub is in a fantastic position next to the sea with unobstructed views. Several lounge areas with the...more

A lovely cottage overlooking Ditchling Beacon. Very comfortable and a spacious property for two. The hosts Chris and Eileen were friendly and informative. Very close to lots of interesting places. Generally well equipped only a minor point could do with an extra small frying pan and a smaller sharp knife. We self catered as well as eating out so noticed this. Had everything else that we needed. A very nice place to stay.

An amazing property in an amazing location. Set in the middle of farmland this Sussex Timber Framed House is truly unique. The whole history of the land and property are documented from 1245 both in book form and on the walls of the entrance porch. Filled with original beams and woodwork, inglenook fireplaces and furnished to compliment the age of the building but with modern day living taken into account. An amazing bedroom with vaulted ceiling and modern en-suite bathroom. A lovely kitchen with everything you would need for a stay. A more than generous welcome pack of groceries were sup...more

We made a very last minute booking for a short break in Sussex to visit the Knepp Estate to spot the Purple Emperors, and it was perfect. The cottage itself is well equipped, spacious, warm, and very comfortable. We loved sitting in our own garden enjoying the flowers and wildlife, and Liz and Chris let us explore their beautiful garden.There are plenty of footpaths from the cottage, one leading to the local pub and vineyards.It's an ideal location for exploring the many villages, the Knepp Estate and the South Downs.

We had a fabulous week. Seaphare is really well equipped for 8 people ( we were just 5 ) with an upside down house (living on first floor, beds downstairs) that was full of light and made the most of the amazing views and was brilliantly located - 15 seconds walk to the beach (pebbly, but we prefer that) where the sea was fabulous ( just one rough day) and in no time at all you could be into the hills and cliff walking up and over to Seaford Head and Cuckmere Haven.

I booked The Lakehouse Apartment for my wife and myself to stay while we were visiting our daughter around 10 minutes drive away. It turned out to be an excellent choice and the accommodation suited us well. We were particularly impressed by the wonderful view of the lake in the grounds and local wildlife as well as the rural views. The owner lives onsite and was very helpful. The apartment is off the beaten track in a tranquil location and we would have no hesitation in re-visiting should we require accommodation in the area again.

a lovely house, with plenty of off road parking spaces, a few meters away from the beach. We loved the possibility of just popping out to sea for a quick morning swim or a run along the shore, and then come back to the house for a breakfast al fresco in the secluded garden.
